What this trial studies
This Phase 1b study investigates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of PMN310 through multiple intravenous infusions in patients with early Alzheimer's disease. The study is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with three ascending dose levels (350 mg, 700 mg, and 1400 mg). Participants will receive either PMN310 or a placebo every 28 days for a total of 12 infusions, allowing researchers to assess the drug's effects over time.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are ambulatory individuals aged 50 and older with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's dementia who meet specific cognitive assessment criteria.
Not a fit: Patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease or those who do not meet the cognitive impairment criteria may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with early Alzheimer's disease, potentially slowing disease progression.
How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific intervention is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient and caregiver provide written informed consent. 2. Ambulatory male or female ≥ 50 years of age with adequate visual and auditory abilities to perform the cognitive and functional assessments in the opinion of the Investigator. 3.

National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association criteria for MCI due to AD or mild AD dementia (Stage 3 and 4) 2. Global Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) of 0.5 1.0 and memory box score ≥ 0.5 at Screening and Baseline 3. Objective impairment in episodic memory as indicated by at least 1 standard deviation (SD) below age-adjusted mean in the Wechsler Memory Scale IV-Logical Memory (subscale) II 4. MMSE score between ≥ 20 and 28 inclusive at Screening, and 5. Either a positive amyloid PET scan within 6 months of Screening consistent with AD, or a positive amyloid PET during Screening. 4. Body mass index between 18.5 and 35 kg/m2 inclusive. 5. Patients of childbearing potential must meet the following criteria: 1. Male and female patients with reproductive potential must be willing to use an approved double barrier contraceptive method (e.g., condom plus intrauterine device, condom plus hormonal contraception, or double barrier device) during and for 120 days after the last dose of study drug 2. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test during Screening, a negative urine pregnancy test prior to each dose, and not currently be breastfeeding. 6. Patients of non-childbearing potential must meet 1 of the following: 1. Post-menopausal female (i.e., 12 consecutive months of spontaneous amenorrhea, age \> 51 years, and follicle-stimulating hormone \> 30 mIU/mL) 2. Surgically sterile (i.e., bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy). 7. Has a reliable caregiver who agrees to accompany the patient at study visits, accurately report patient's status, provide feedback on functional and safety assessments, and ensure compliance to study requirements. 8. Confirmed to have acceptable venous access for blood collections and IV administration of study drug (i.e., PMN310 or placebo). 9. Patients taking Food and Drug Administration-approved acetylcholinesterase inhibitors or memantine are allowed as long as the dose has been stable for at least 3 months prior to Screening. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Living in a continuous care or long-term care nursing facility. Patients in outpatient living at home or in an assisted living facility are eligible for the study. 2. Medical or neurological condition (other than AD; i.e., Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, frontal temporal dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies) judged to be contributing to the patient's cognitive impairment. 3.

Alanine aminotransferase ≥ 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN); aspartate aminotransferase ≥ 2 × ULN; total bilirubin ≥1.5 × ULN during Screening 3. Creatinine clearance \< 30mL/min during Screening. 4. In the opinion of the Investigator, any clinically significant current or relevant history of physical or psychiatric illness (including suicidal risk, ideation, behavior, or suicide attempts), any medical disorder that may require treatment or make the patient unlikely to fully complete the study, or any condition that presents undue risk from the investigational product or procedures. 5. Clinically significant recurrent disease or unstable disease that could affect the action, absorption, or disposition of the investigational product, or could affect clinical or laboratory assessments, such as (but not limited to) the following: 1. History of unstable angina, myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure, or clinically significant conduction abnormalities within 1 year prior to Screening 2. Indication of clinically significant impairment of renal or liver function, including hepatitis B surface antigen, or hepatitis C virus antibody at Screening 3.
