Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, biomarker and cognitive efficacy of investigational products in subjects who are known to have an Alzheimer's disease-causing mutation by determining if treatment with the study drug slows the rate of progression of cognitive impairment and improves disease-related biomarkers.

Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   Yes
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Between 18-80 years of age
  • Individuals who know they have an Alzheimer's disease-causing mutation or are unaware of their genetic status and have a 50% chance of having an autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease (ADAD) mutation (e.g. parent or sibling with a known AD-causing mutation)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History or presence of brain MRI scans indicative of any other significant abnormality
  • Alcohol or drug dependence currently or within the past 1 year
  • Presence of pacemakers, aneurysm clips, artificial heart valves, ear implants, or foreign metal objects in the eyes, skin or body which would preclude MRI scan.
