Detailed Description: 

BIIB037 is a fully human immunoglobulin gamma 1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody that is being developed as a disease modification treatment for Alzheimer's disease. In animal models of Alzheimer's, treatment with BIIB037 was shown to decrease beta-amyloid content in animal brains. A single ascending dose study of BIIB037 in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's is ongoing. This study will be conducted in people with prodromal or mild Alzheimer's to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profile after multiple doses of BIIB037.
