A First in Human Study of IBC-Ab002 in Persons With Early Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

Prior treatment

• Females who are not postmenopausal at Screening as defined by amenorrhea for at least 12 consecutive months or who have not been sterilized surgically (i.e. bilateral tubal ligation, total hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, all with surgery at least 1 month before Screening)
• Presence of contraindication to lumbar puncture (LP) including taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications other than aspirin at a dose of ≤ 100 mg/day or clopidogrel.
• Participation in any other interventional clinical trial, or treatment with any investigational drug or investigational use of an approved therapy, within 30 days or 5 half-lives of such agent, whichever is longer, prior to the first Screening visit
• Positive urine drug test for drugs of abuse at Screening. Subjects who test positive for benzodiazepines or opioids in urine drug testing need not be excluded if in the clinical opinion of the investigator, this is due to the subject taking prior/concomitant medications containing benzodiazepines or opioids for a medical condition and not due to drug abuse
• Subjects who answer "yes" to Columbia Suicidality Rating Scale (C-SSRS) suicidal ideation Type 4 or 5, or any suicidal behavior assessment within 6 months before Screening, at Screening, or has been hospitalized or treated for suicidal behavior in the past 5 years before Screening
• Unwillingness to comply with study requirements or history of noncompliance in prior clinical trials

Other illness

• Other than Alzheimer's disease, any neurologic or medical disorder which may impair cognition.
• Severe vision or hearing impairment that would prevent the subject from performing psychometric tests or otherwise complying with requirements for study participation and activities.
• History of certain neurological, psychiatric or medical conditions including autoimmune diseases.
• History of drug (including cannabis) or alcohol abuse within the last 5 years

Lab values

• Clinically significant laboratory or electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities
• Taking any of the following medications.
  • Immunosuppressant medications, including chronic systemic corticosteroids (chronic use of topical steroids is allowed)
  • Injected or infused antibody therapies, including but not limited to antibodies directed against tumor necrosis factor (TNF), anti-interleukin-6 (anti-IL-6), natalizumab, rituximab and similar agents
  • Aducanumab, (aducanumab-avwa) intravenous injection (brand name: Aduhelm™), or any other experimental or approved anti-amyloid antibody
  • Insulin
  • Anticoagulant or anti-platelet medications including warfarin, heparinoids and direct coagulation factor inhibitors (e.g. apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban) within 90 days of the planned first dose of study drug; either aspirin at a dose of \< 100 mg/day or clopidogrel at a dose of 75 mg/day, but not both in combination is permitted

Other

• Any contra-indication to undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
• Subject currently smokes more than 5 cigarettes or equivalent tobacco consumption daily
• Regular nonmedical use of cannabis or cannabis products unless such products are documented by the manufacturer's label not to contain tetrahydrocannabinol or its derivatives or analogs

• Diagnosis of early Alzheimer's disease based on the National Institute on Aging and Alzheimer's Association) (NIA-AA Research Framework criteria, regardless of apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene status.
• Able to speak, read and write the local language fluently.
• With respect to symptomatic treatment for Alzheimer's disease, subjects should either be not treated with any approved treatments for AD or stabilized on approved medication(s) other than anti-Ab antibodies for the treatment of AD for at least 3 months prior to Baseline.
• Subject has a study partner who spends at least 10 hours/week with the subject, and can attend all visits with the subject, report accurately on the subject's status, and ensure compliance with all study requirements
• Subject and study partner must each independently be able to understand the study requirements and provide informed consent
