A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of DNL628 in Participants With Early Alzheimer's Disease
This trial is testing an experimental drug called DNL628 against a placebo in people with early Alzheimer's, meaning mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia with confirmed amyloid. It measures safety, how the body handles the drug, and its effects on biology. It is a Phase 1b trial, an early step checking safety, not yet proven to work or approved.
