About this trial
This is a Phase 1/1b, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple doses of DNL921 in healthy participants and participants with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The principal aim of this study is to obtain safety and tolerability data. This information, together with PK and PD data, will inform dose selection and design of future studies.
