- Has a diagnosis of Down syndrome and has an intelligence quotient (IQ) ≥ 45.
- Has evidence of amyloid pathology on amyloid-positron emission tomography (PET) scan.
- Is assessed as being cognitively stable.
- Is in good health as evidenced by medical history, physical, and neurological examination, and with no diagnosis of dementia or mild cognitive impairment.
You may not qualify if…
- Has unstable psychiatric illness, including psychosis, or untreated major depression within 90 days before Screening, as determined by the Investigator.
- Has any unstable medical condition likely to hamper the evaluation of safety and/or efficacy of the Study Drug (e.g., moderate or severe untreated obstructive sleep apnea, medical history of clinically significant B12 or folate deficiency that is currently uncontrolled, clinically significant abnormalities of thyroid function, stroke, or other cerebrovascular conditions), as per Investigator's judgment.
- Is unable to complete MRI and amyloid/tau-PET procedures or has any contraindications to having a brain MRI (e.g., MRI-incompatible pacemaker, aneurysm clips, artificial heart valves, or other metal foreign body; claustrophobia that cannot be medically managed without requiring general anesthesia).
