Amyloid Imaging And Safety Study Of Subcutaneous Bapineuzumab In Subjects With Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Multi-Center, Biomarker, Safety, and Pharmacokinetic Study of Bapineuzumab (AAB-001) Administered Subcutaneously at Monthly Intervals in Subjects With Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease

This study in individuals with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease is designed to assess:(1) safety and tolerability (2) the capacity of subcutaneous bapineuzumab to reduce brain amyloid load as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) scans.

• Caregiver able to attend all clinic visits with patient
• Amyloid burden on screening PET scan consistent with diagnosis of AD

Exclusion Criteria:

• Significant neurological disease other than AD
• Major psychiatric disorder
• Significant systemic illness
• History of stroke or seizure, autoimmune disease, myocardial infarction within the last 2 years
• Smoking greater than 20 cigarettes per day
• Anticonvulsants, anti-Parkinson's, anticoagulant, or narcotic medications
