Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Informed consent form (ICF) is signed and dated by the participant and study partner, or by the participant's legally acceptable representative (LAR) if applicable, according to local regulations for the ICF and, if applicable, the DIAN-TU cognitive run-in (CRI) ICF and/or country-specific ICFs.
2. Participant is at least 18 years old.

4. Participants must fulfill mutation status and EYO criteria:

1. Participant is a carrier of a mutation in an APP, PSEN1, or PSEN2 gene that is associated with DIAD or does not know their mutation status and has a 50% chance of having an AD-causing mutation (e.g., parent or biological sibling clinically affected with known AD-causing mutation in family).
2. Participant is -25 to -11 EYO based on their mutation type or family pedigree (refer to Global Manual of Operations for calculation of EYO).

Note: If the at-risk parent is deemed a non-carrier through confirmed genetic testing at any time during the study, the participant will be withdrawn.
5. Cognitive status of participant is normal (CDR 0).
6. Participant's confirmed primary language is a DIAN-TU study-approved language.
7. Participant has adequate visual and auditory abilities to perform all aspects of the cognitive and clinical assessments.
8. If participant is receiving stable doses of medication(s) for the treatment of non-excluded medical condition(s) for at least 30 days prior to CRI Entry visit and Screening visit (V1) except for medications taken for episodic conditions (e.g., migraine abortive therapy, antibiotics, and other medications for upper respiratory and gastrointestinal ailments).
9. The participant has a study partner who in the PI's judgment can provide accurate information as to the participant's cognitive and functional abilities, who agrees to provide information at the study visits that require study partner input for scale completion, and who signs the necessary ICF, if applicable.
10. The participant agrees not to donate blood or blood products for transfusion from the time of Screening (V1) for a study drug arm, for the duration of the study, and for 1 year after the final dose of study drug. Donation of blood or blood products for transfusion is allowed during the CRI period.
11. In the opinion of the PI, the participant will be compliant and have a high probability of completing the study.
12. The participant is able and willing to complete all study-related testing, evaluations, and procedures.

Key exclusion criteria
1. Significant neurologic disease (other than AD) or psychiatric disease that may currently or during the study affect cognition or the participant's ability to complete the study. This would include disorders such as: recent or severe head trauma causing cognitive change, seizure disorder, neurodegenerative disease other than DIAD, hydrocephalus, cerebral/spinal hematoma, inflammatory disease, CNS infection (e.g., encephalitis or meningitis), neoplasm, toxic exposure, metabolic disorder (including hypoxic or hypoglycemic episodes) or endocrine disorder; psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder or major depression, or any other psychiatric condition/disorder which could significantly interfere with the participant's cooperative participation (e.g., prominent anxiety, agitation or behavioral problems). Disorders that are controlled medically or remote history of these disorders (e.g., history of febrile seizures in childhood) that are not likely to interfere with cognitive function and compliance with study procedures are not exclusionary.
2. At high risk for suicide, e.g., significant suicidal ideation or attempt within last 12 months, current major depression (as defined in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition [DSM-V]), or increased suicide risk based on screening Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). Current stable mild depression or current use of antidepressant medications is not exclusionary.
3. History of clinically evident stroke or history of clinically important carotid or vertebrobasilar stenosis, plaque, or other prominent risk factor for stroke or cerebral hemorrhage (including atrial fibrillation and anticoagulation, documented transient ischemic attack [TIA] in the last 12 months). Low dose aspirin (= 325 mg daily) is not exclusionary.
4. Alcohol or substance use sufficient to meet DSM-V criteria currently or within the past year.
5. History of or Baseline visit brain MRI scan indicative of any other significant abnormality, including but not limited to > 5 definite microhemorrhages, history or evidence of a single prior hemorrhage > 1 cm3, 2 or more subcortical infarcts, evidence of a single prior cortical infarct > 1 cm3, evidence of a cerebral contusion, encephalomalacia, aneurysms, vascular malformations, subdural hematoma, or space-occupying lesions (e.g., arachnoid cysts or brain tumors, such as meningioma), hydrocephalus (other than hydrocephalus ex vacuo). Minor or clinically insignificant imaging findings are not exclusionary. Participants with > 5 definite microhemorrhages or > 1 area of leptomeningeal hemosiderosis will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the site PI or designated sub-investigator and the PAL and medical director or designee.
6. Presence of pacemakers, aneurysm clips, artificial heart valves, ear implants, or foreign metal objects in the eyes, skin, or body which would preclude MRI scan.
7. Uncontrolled hypertension within 6 months prior to screening (e.g., sustained systolic blood pressure [BP] >160 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure > 95 mm Hg).
8. Myocardial infarction or other myocardial ischemic events within the last 2 years.
9. Heart failure that results in limitation of physical activity (e.g., New York Heart Association [NYHA] functional classification stage 2 or higher).
10. History of atrial fibrillation unless more than 1 year ago, and no structural lesions (e.g., atrial enlargement or cardiomyopathy) that would increase risk of stroke.
11. 12-lead ECG: Clinically significant abnormalities including Bazett's corrected QT (QTc) interval greater than 450 msec for males and 470 msec for females; in participants above 65 years of age: 470 msec (atrioventricular [AV]-block I° allowed; right bundle branch block [RBBB] allowed).
12. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) = 2 times the upper limit of normal or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) = 3 times the upper limit of normal or Baseline total bilirubin = 2 times the upper limit of normal.

17. Treatment with immunosuppressive medications (e.g., systemic corticosteroids) within 90 days prior to the CRI Entry and Baseline (V2) visit (topical and nasal corticosteroids and inhaled corticosteroids for asthma are permitted) or chemotherapeutic agents for malignancy within the last 3 years.
18. Current clinically significant abnormalities of thyroid function, or clinically significant deficiency in vitamin B12.
19. Screening hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) > 8% (retesting is permitted if slightly elevated) or poorly controlled insulin-dependent diabetes (including hypoglycemic episodes). Participants may be rescreened after 3 months to allow optimization of diabetic control.
20. Morbid obesity with significant comorbidities or that would preclude MRI imaging.

27. Any other medical condition that could be expected to progress, recur, or change to such an extent that it could bias the assessment of the clinical or mental status of the participant to a significant degree or put the participant at special risk.
28. Currently, or within the last month prior to screening, participated in a clinical study, including a nonpharmacological study, without prior approval.
29. Positive urine or serum pregnancy test or plans to become pregnant during the study.
30. Currently breastfeeding. Participants must agree to refrain from breastfeeding from the time of signed ICF until 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
