Experimental: E2814 plus lecanemab
Symptomatic Population (Cohort 1) At Week 0, participants will receive open-label lecanemab administered intravenously for the full treatment period. At Week 24, participants randomized to E2814 will receive intravenously in a blinded fashion for the remainder of their treatment period. Asymptomatic Population (Cohort 2) At Week 0, participants randomized to E2814 will receive intravenously in a blinded fashion for the full treatment period. At Week 52, all participants will initiate open-label lecanemab administered intravenously for the remainder of their treatment period. |

- Assess cognitive efficacy in individuals with mutations causing dominantly inherited AD as measured by the change from baseline in the DIAN-Multivariate Cognitive Endpoint (DIAN-MCE) [ Time Frame: Baseline and Weeks 52, 104, 156, and 208 ]The DIAN-Multivariate Cognitive Endpoint (DIAN-MCE) consists of 4 cognitive measures: Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised Logical Memory Delayed Recall Test, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Sale Digit Symbol Substitution Test (WAIS), International Shopping List Task (ISLT), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)

Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
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 dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease (DIAD) mutation in their family.
- Are within -15 to + 10 years of the predicted or actual age of cognitive symptom onset. For Cognitive Run-In (CRI): includes participants who are younger than 15 years prior to the expected age of cognitive symptom onset, in addition to those 15 years younger and no more than 10 years older than expected or actual age of cognitive symptom onset.

- Fluency in DIAN-TU trial approved language and evidence of adequate premorbid intellectual functioning
- Able to undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Lumbar Puncture (LP), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and complete all study related testing and evaluations.
- For women of childbearing potential, if partner is not sterilized, subject must agree to use effective contraceptive measures (hormonal contraception, intra-uterine device, sexual abstinence, barrier method with spermicide).
- Adequate visual and auditory abilities to perform all aspects of the cognitive and functional assessments.
- Has a Study Partner who in the investigator's judgment is able to provide accurate information as to the subject's cognitive and functional abilities, who agrees to provide information at the study visits which require informant input for scale completion.
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.
- History or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular disease, hepatic/renal disorders, infectious disease or immune disorder, or metabolic/endocrine disorders
- Anticoagulants except low dose (≤ 325 mg) aspirin.
- Have been exposed to a monoclonal antibody targeting beta amyloid peptide within the past six months.
- History of cancer within the last 5 years, except basal cell carcinoma, non-squamous skin carcinoma, prostate cancer or carcinoma in situ with no significant progression over the past 2 years.
- Positive urine or serum pregnancy test or plans or desires to become pregnant during the course of the trial.
- Subjects unable to complete all study related testing, including implanted metal that cannot be removed for MRI scanning, required anticoagulation and pregnancy.
