Abnormal inflammatory monocytes/macrophages, systemically and locally in the central nervous system (CNS), are implicated in the neuro-inflammatory process seen in Alzheimer's disease. NP001 is a novel immune regulator of inflammatory monocytes/macrophages.~Given the key role inflammatory monocytes/macrophages may play in the pathogenesis of AD, this study will assess the changes in inflammatory monocyte-associated biomarkers, including CD16 and HLA-DR, pre- and post- NP001.~This is a Phase 1 single-site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot biomarker study of a single dose of NP001 in individuals with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. Fourteen individuals will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to NP001 and placebo. Drug or placebo will be given intravenously. Biomarkers will be measured at baseline and 1 and 7 days following infusion.
This is a Phase 1 placebo-controlled biomarker study of NP001 in individuals with Alzheimer's Disease.
