Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. 55 to 75 years of age, inclusive, at randomisation visit. 2. Elevated brain tau pathology defined as Braak 3 ROI SUVR > 1.1 on a screening tau PET scan, reviewed centrally by a qualified reader. 3. CDR global score of 0 at screening and baseline. 4. MMSE =27 (with educational adjustment). 5. Able to read and write and with a minimum 5 years of formal education as reported by participant and study partner at screening.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. MRI evidence of any brain disease or intracranial pathology other than potential very early signs of AD or typical age-related changes, which in the opinion of the investigator or the central imaging reader and/or the sponsor, may affect cognition. 2. History consistent with or known autosomal dominant AD. 3. Fulfills diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer’s Dementia or non-Alzheimer’s Dementia, including, but not limited to Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), Diffuse Lewy Body Dementia (DLBD), Vascular Dementia (VAD), alcoholic dementia, Parkinson’s dementia, Korsakov, Creutzfeldt-Jakob or other prion diseases, Posterior Cortical Atrophy. 4. Diagnosis ofMild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) 5. Presence of any neurological, psychiatric, or medical conditions associated with a longterm risk of significant cognitive impairment or dementia
