Summary

This early-stage study tests a single injection of NIO752 into the spinal fluid of 38 adults with mild Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's. The main goal is to see if the drug safely lowers levels of tau, a protein linked to brain damage. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the drug or a placebo, and neither they nor their doctors know which they got.
