Summary

This study tests whether the drug leronlimab is safe for people with mild Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's. It also looks at whether the drug can reduce brain inflammation, which is thought to play a role in the disease. Twenty volunteers aged 50 and older will receive weekly injections for 12 weeks, along with brain scans and memory tests. This is an early-stage trial focused on safety and biological effects, not yet on improving thinking or memory.
