  • Have a diagnosis of probable AD dementia based on NIA AA 2011 criteria, including amnestic or nonamnestic presentation at screening
  • Have supportive evidence of AD pathology via historical records or laboratory testing at screening for amyloid positivity
  • Have AD severity defined as the following at screening:
    • A Clinical Dementia Rating global score of 0.5 or 1
