Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Cognitively unimpaired participants with preclinical Alzheimer's disease meeting all of the following: CDR global score = 0 at screening. MMSE score ≥26 at screening, with education adjustment. Plasma p-tau217/Aβ1-42 ratio ≥0.00738. Vision and hearing sufficient to comply with study procedures, in the investigator's judgment. Stable concomitant medications for management of existing medical conditions, as appropriate. Women must be of non-childbearing potential as defined in the protocol. Men must meet protocol-defined contraception and sperm donation requirements. Ability, in the investigator's opinion, to understand the study and comply with study requirements. Exclusion Criteria: Screening MRI showing clinically significant abnormalities, including protocol-defined infarcts, excessive microbleeds, leptomeningeal hemosiderosis, superficial siderosis, or ARIA-E. Contraindication to MRI. Serious illness requiring systemic treatment and/or hospitalization within 4 weeks before study entry. Clinically relevant cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, hematologic, neurologic, or other systemic disease that could interfere with participation or follow-up.

Participation in another investigational drug study or use of an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before dosing. Prior amyloid-beta or tau immunotherapy, including vaccine or monoclonal antibody, within 1 year before screening. Recent use of protocol-defined immunomodulatory or growth-stimulating agents. Chronic use of protocol-defined anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents; aspirin is permitted. Parenteral use of immunoglobulin preparations, blood products, or plasma derivatives.
