Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
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. |

Placebo Comparator: Matching placebo (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 placebo will receive placebo intravenously in a blinded fashion for the remainder of their treatment period. Asymptomatic Population (Cohort 2) At Week 0, participants randomized to E2814 placebo will receive placebo 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. |

- The primary end point is the change from Week 24 to Week 104 and Week 208 in tau PET in the Symptomatic Population (Cohort 1). [ Time Frame: Weeks 24, 104, and 208 ]To determine whether E2814 is superior to placebo, when each is concurrently administered with lecanemab, in the change from Week 24 to Week 104 (interim analysis) and Week 208 (final analysis) in tau spread as measured by tau PET in the symptomatic population (Cohort 1).
- Symptomatic Population (Cohort 1): Key Secondary: Change from Week 24 to Week 208 in Clinical Dementia Scale - Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB). [ Time Frame: Weeks 24, 52, 104, 156 and 208 ]
To determine whether E2814 is superior to placebo, when each is concurrently administered with lecanemab, in change from Week 24 to Week 208 in CDR-SB
Scores range from 0-18 with lower scores showing better outcomes
- Asymptomatic Population (Cohort 2): Key Secondary: Change from Week 0 to Week 104 and Week 208 in CSF ptau217/total tau [ Time Frame: Weeks 0, 104 and 208 ]To determine whether E2814 is superior to placebo, when each is administered alone and then concurrently with lecanemab, in change from Week 0 to Week 104 (interim analysis) and Week 208 (final analysis) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) phosphorylated tau (ptau217)/total tau
- Symptomatic Population (Cohort 1): Change from Week 24 to Week 104 and Week 208 in the cognitive composite score [ Time Frame: Weeks 24, 52, 76, 104, 128, 156, 180 and 208 ]
- Symptomatic Population (Cohort 1): Change from Week 0 to Week 24 in amyloid PET [ Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 24 ]
- Asymptomatic Population (Cohort 2): Change from Week 0 to Week 52 in CSF ptau217/total tau [ Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 52 ]
- Symptomatic population (Cohort 1): Change from Week 24 to Week 104 and Week 208 in CSF neurofilament light chain (NfL) [ Time Frame: Weeks 24, 104 and 208 ]
- Asymptomatic Population (Cohort 2): Change from Week 52 to Week 104 and Week 208 in CSF neurofilament light chain (NfL) [ Time Frame: Weeks 52, 104 and 208 ]
