Brief Summary

This study in individuals with early Alzheimer's disease is designed to assess:(1) safety and tolerability (2) the capacity of ACC-001 and QS-21 adjuvant to reduce brain amyloid load as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) scans.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change From Baseline in Brain Fibrillar Beta-Amyloid Protein (Aβ) at Week 104 as Measured by Standard Uptake Value Ratios (SUVRs) Over the Composite Regions of Interest (ROIs)

    Fibrillar brain Aβ was measured by retention of florbetapir F18 as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) scans. A positive change indicating an improvement from baseline.

    104 weeks

Other Outcomes (34)

  • Change From Baseline in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Aβ x-40

    Week 80 or Week 104

  • Change From Baseline in CSF Aβ x-42

    Week 80 or Week 104

  • Change From Baseline in CSF p-Tau

    Week 80 or Week 104

  • +31 more other outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age50 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Concern about a change in cognition expressed by the subject or by an informant that knows the subject well
  • Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score ≥ 25
  • Global Clinical Dementia Rating = 0.5.
  • General cognition and functional performance sufficiently preserved such that a diagnosis of Alzheimer's dementia cannot not be made by the site physician at the time of screening.
  • Amyloid burden detected on screening brain PET scan.

You may not qualify if:

  • Significant neurological disease other than early Alzheimer's disease
  • Major psychiatric disorder or symptom
  • Contraindication to undergo brain MRI
  • Unstable medical conditions
