Inclusion Criteria

  • Main Inclusion Criteria - Core Study (Weeks 0-104)

  • Probable AD dementia).
  • 2. Subjects are carriers of the APOE4 allele (APOE4/4 or APOE3/4 genotype).
  • 3. Subjects with MMSE score 22 to 30 inclusive; Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR)-Global Score of 0.5 or 1.0 and CDR Memory Box Score of = 0.5.
  • 4. Subjects with documented confirmation of AD diagnosis by either positive amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) or positive CSF AD signature. Subjects without documented
  • positive AD biomarker status must have a positive CSF biomarker result from a sample provided at screening.
  • 5. Subjects may be on stable doses of acetylcholinesterase for the duration of the study, but memantine is not allowed.
  • Long-Term Extension Year 1 (Weeks 104-160)
  • Inclusion Criteria
  • To be eligible for the LTE Year 1, the subject must:
  • 1. Complete the last visit (Week 104) of the core study.
  • 2. Be willing to sign an IRB/IEC-approved ICF indicating that he/she understands the purpose of the study and the procedures that are required for the study and that he/she is willing to participate in the study. Subjects are free to withdraw consent at any time. If a subject is
  • unable or deemed not competent to sign the consent form, the subject's legally authorized representative may sign the consent form with the subject's assent, except where local regulations and IRB/IEC approval do not allow subjects who are unable or deemed not competent to sign the consent form, to participate in the study.
  • 3. Agree (subject and caregiver/study partner) to be compliant with study procedures and, in the opinion of the Investigator, have a high probability of completing the study.
  • 4. Have stable medical conditions in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Long-Term Extension Year 2 (Weeks 156-212)
  • Inclusion Criteria
  • To be eligible for the LTE Year 2, the subject must:
  • 1. Complete the last visit (Week 156) of the LTE Year 1
  • 2. Be willing to sign an IRB/IEC-approved ICF indicating that he/she understands the purpose of the study and the procedures that are required for the study and that he/she is willing to participate in the study. Subjects are free to withdraw consent at any time. If a subject is
  • unable or deemed not competent to sign the consent form, the subject's legally authorized representative may sign the consent form with the subject's assent, except where local regulations and IRB/IEC approval do not allow subjects who are unable or deemed not competent to sign the consent form, to participate in the study.
  • 3. Agree (subject and caregiver/study partner) to be compliant with study procedures and, in the opinion of the Investigator, have a high probability of completing the study.
  • 4. Have stable medical conditions in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • In addition, to be eligible for dose escalation to TID dosing, the subject
  • 5. Have MMSE score <22 at clinic visit between Weeks 156-196 (Visits 5E-8E).
  • 6. When the MMSE score is <22, be willing to sign the TID dosing section of the IRB/IEC approved ICF indicating that he/she understands the TID dose escalation. Subjects are free to withdraw consent at any time. If a subject is unable or deemed not competent to sign the TID dosing section of the consent form, the subject's legally authorized representative may sign with the subject's assent, except where local
