- Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) [ Time Frame: Up to Day 28 ]An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A TEAE is an AE that occurs after the first administration of a study drug.
- Percentage of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Signs Measurements [ Time Frame: Up to Day 28 ]
- Percentage of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Laboratory Assessments [ Time Frame: Up to Day 28 ]
- Percentage of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Measurements [ Time Frame: Up to Day 28 ]
- Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline Responses on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) [ Time Frame: Up to Day 28 ]The C-SSRS scale consists of a baseline evaluation that assesses the lifetime experience of participants with suicidal ideation (SI) and suicidal behavior (SB) and a postbaseline evaluation that focuses on suicidality since the last study visit. The C-SSRS includes 'yes' or 'no' responses for assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior as well as numeric ratings for severity of ideation, if present (from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most severe).

Ages Eligible for Study: | 50 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participant meets the following criteria for MCI or mild dementia due to AD at Screening: has a memory complaint, has clinical dementia rating (CDR) score of 0.5 to 1.0 (inclusive) with a memory box score ≥0.5, has essentially preserved activities of daily living
- Participant has a score of 15 to 24 (inclusive) on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment at Screening
- Participant has normal premorbid intelligence quotient (IQ) at Screening
- Participant has a study partner who is reliable, competent, at least 18 years of age, willing to be available to the study center by phone, support study-specific activities, and accompany the participant to study visits as needed
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participant has any medical or neurological condition (other than AD) that might be contributing to the participant's cognitive impairment or history of cognitive decline
- Participant has a history of brain surgery, deep brain stimulation, a significant head injury causing loss of consciousness greater than 30 minutes, or hospitalization due to a brain injury
- Participant has a history, presence, and/or current evidence of a clinically-significant intracranial abnormality (eg, stroke, hemorrhage, space-occupying lesion) that could account for the observed cognitive impairment (excluding abnormalities consistent with underlying AD pathology)
- Participant has a history of possible or probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy, according to the Boston Criteria
- Participant has a history of seizures or epilepsy, with the exception of a single episode of febrile seizures in childhood
- Participant has current or recent suicidality
