Study of ARO-MAPT-SC in Healthy Participants and Participants With Early Alzheimer's Disease
This trial tests ARO-MAPT-SC, an injected drug designed to lower production of tau, a protein that builds up in Alzheimer's brains. Researchers are measuring safety, how the body handles the drug, and its biological effects, compared with placebo. It is a Phase 1 trial, an early safety check in people, not proof that it works.
