Study Description

Brief Summary

Phase 1A SAD: Five or more cohorts of 8 healthy volunteers (HVs) will receive a single IV bolus injection of study drug or placebo. The first 4 cohorts will be male only. The last cohort will be repeated with the max safe dose of the previous cohorts in healthy elderly subjects (male and female of non childbearing potential, > 50years)
Phase 1B MAD: Two or more cohorts of 8 male and female HVs will receive multiple (4) IV bolus injections of study drug or placebo every 72 hours.

Alzheimer's Disease	Drug: CS6253 Solution for Injection Drug: Placebo	Early Phase 1

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in HV and in APOE4 carriers.

Phase 1A Single Ascending Dose (SAD): In 5 or more sequential SAD cohorts of 8 (6 active:2 placebo) HVs a single IV bolus injection (CS6253 1, 2.4, 6, and 10 mg/kg or placebo) will be administered and PK, safety, and biomarkers will be assessed. The first 4 cohorts will include males only. In the fifth cohort 8 (6 active:2 placebo) subjects, male and female of non-childbearing potential and at least 50 years old, will be administered CS6253 at equal to or lower doses than the maximum safe SAD dose in HV.

CSF will not be collected in the first 2 SAD cohorts. In the following cohorts, CSF will be collected before dosing and over 24 hours after dosing. Additional cohorts may be added as needed and deemed safe and appropriate by the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB).

Phase 1B Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD): In 2 or more sequential MAD cohorts of 8 (6 active:2 placebo) male and female HVs at least 50 years old on average ≥ 3/sex/cohort; ≥ 4 APOE4 carriers/cohort, will be administered multiple IV bolus injections. Cohort 1 will be administered CS6253 at 75% of the maximum safe SAD dose in subjects at least 50 years old or placebo, and if no Treatment Emerging Adverse Events (TEAEs), in Cohort 2 at 100% of the maximum safe SAD dose or placebo will be administered every 72 hours x 4 doses and PK, safety, and biomarkers will be assessed. Plasma PK will be assessed after first and fourth dose in all cohorts. CSF will be collected before dosing and over 24 hours in conjunction with the fourth dose. Cohorts of 8 subjects (6 active:2 placebo) may be added at doses equal to or lower than the maximum safe MAD dose to further explore CS6253 brain exposure and Pharmacodynamics (PD) dependency on APOE4 isoform and sex.
