A First in Human Study in Healthy Volunteers and in Participants With Frontotemporal Dementia With Granulin (GRN) Mutation

A First in Human Phase 1 Study in Healthy Volunteers and in Participants With Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) With Granulin Mutation

A first in human phase 1 study in healthy volunteers and participants with Granulin (GRN) mutation causative of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) to assess AL001 safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics

This is a first-in-human Phase 1 study designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, PK and PD of intravenously administered AL001 in Healthy Volunteers and FTD-GRN mutation carriers.

Inclusion Criteria:

• BMI 18.0-35.0 kg/m2

• Female participants of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception from screening until 90 days after the follow-up visit.
• In good physical health on the basis of no clinically significant findings from medical history, physical examination (PE), laboratory tests, 12 lead ECG, and vital signs, as judged by the Investigator.
• Willingness and able to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgement.

Exclusion Criteria:
