Effect of BMS-241027 on Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers in Mild Alzheimer's Disease

Effect of BMS-241027 on Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers in Mild Alzheimer's Disease

Overall Status: 
Recruiting
Brief Description: 

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacodynamic effects of the experimental drug BMS-241027 (microtubule stabilizer) on levels of the protein tau in cerebrospinal fluid and on results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized cognitive tests in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. Participants will be given nine weekly intravenous infusions of BMS-241027 or a placebo treatment.
