Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

•1\. Is a known carrier of a heterozygous loss\-of\-function GRN mutation causative of FTD with a global CDR® plus NACC FTLD score of 0 to 2, and:
•A CDR® plus NACC FTLD\-SB score \=0\.5 with an elevated level of serum NfL, or
•A CDR® plus NACC FTLD\-SB score of \>0\.5 with 1 or more of the 6 behavioral/cognitive symptoms required for a diagnosis of possible bvFTD
•(Rascovsky 2011\), or a diagnosis of PPA
•2\. Age 25 to 85 years, inclusive, at Screening
•3\. At Screening, women must be nonpregnant and nonlactating, and one of the following conditions must apply:
•a. Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) (either surgically sterilized or physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant, or at least 1\-year postmenopausal \[amenorrhea duration of 12 consecutive months with no identified cause other than menopause]).
•b. Is a WOCBP and agrees to use an acceptable contraceptive method from Screening until 10 weeks after the last dose of study treatment. Acceptable contraception is defined as using hormonal contraceptives (e.g. combined oral contraceptive pill) or an intrauterine device combined with at least 1 of the following forms of contraception: a diaphragm or cervical cap, or a condom. In addition, total abstinence, if in accordance with the lifestyle of the participant, is acceptable.
•c. A WOCBP must have a serum pregnancy test conducted at screening. Additional requirements for pregnancy testing during and after study intervention are described in the Schedules of Assessments.
•4\. Men must agree to use acceptable contraception and not donate sperm from Day 0 until 10 weeks after the last dose of study treatment. Acceptable contraception for the male participant when having sexual intercourse with a WOCBP who is not currently pregnant is defined as using a condom. In addition, WOCBP partners must use hormonal contraceptives (e.g. combined oral contraceptive pill) or an intrauterine device.
