Detailed Description:

The purpose of this Study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AR1001 in participants with Early Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

  4. Participants who have a MMSE score greater than or equal to 20
  5. Participants with a CDR global rating of 0.5 or 1
  6. Participants with a RBANS score based on the Delayed Memory Index (DMI) score less than or equal to 85
  7. If an historic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is available, findings must exclude other causes of dementia.

  8. Positive biomarker for brain amyloid pathology as indicated by assessment of at least one of the following:

    1. Current or historical CSF assessment with FDA-cleared assays, including Lumipulse® beta-amyloid ratio [1-42/1-40] ≤ 0.072, Elecsys® pTau 181/Aβ[1-42] greater than 0.023, Elecsys® tTau /Aβ[1-42] greater than 0.28, or other assays or cut-offs as they become FDA-cleared.

The informant/care partner must be available by phone to provide information to the Investigator and study staff about the participant as well as agree to attend in-person clinic visits that require partner input for scale completion. The informant/care partner must be literate and provide informed consent and should be available for the duration of the study.
