  13. Provide voluntary written informed consent (obtaining as much as possible from subjects, but mandatory from their legal guardians).
  14. Willing and able to comply with all aspects of the protocol.

Exclusion Criteria

  1. Any neurological condition that may affect cognitive impairment
  2. History of transient ischemic attacks (TIA), stroke, or seizures within 12 months of Screening
  3. Any psychiatric diagnosis or symptoms (e.g., hallucinations, major depression, or delusions) that could interfere with study procedures in the subject
  4. Any medical devices contraindicated for MRI scanning (e.g., cardiac pacemaker/defibrillator, ferromagnetic metal implants, any devices other than those approved as safe for use in MRI scanners)
  5. Evidence of infection, tumor, stroke or other clinically significant lesions that could indicate a dementia diagnosis other than AD on brain MRI at Screening
  6. Evidence of other clinically significant lesions that could indicate a dementia diagnosis other than AD on brain MRI at Screening, or other significant pathological findings on brain MRI at Screening
  7. A prolonged QT interval (QTcF greater than or equal to 450 ms) as demonstrated by a repeated ECG at Screening
  8. Any other clinically significant conditions (e.g., cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal disease) that in the opinion of the investigator(s) could affect the subject's safety or interfere with the study assessments
  9. Severe visual or hearing impairment that would prevent the subject from performing psychometric tests accurately.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
Safety assessment variables will include all adverse events (AEs) including serious and non-serious AEs; laboratory parameters (hematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis); vital signs; electrocardiograms; and physical examination; as well as a risk of suicide using C-SSRS and brain MRI.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Pharmacokinetics of BAN2401: Maximum Concentration (Cmax)
Cmax after single and repeated administrations based on non-compartmental analysis.
Pharmacokinetics of BAN2401: time attain to Cmax (tmax)
tmax after single and repeated administrations based on non-compartmental analysis.

AUC after single and repeated administrations based on non-compartmental analysis.
Pharmacokinetics of BAN2401: Drug Clearance (CL)
CL after single and repeated administrations based on non-compartmental analysis.
Pharmacokinetics of BAN2401: apparent volume of distribution at steady state (Vss)
Vss after single and repeated administrations based on non-compartmental analysis.
Investigation of the effect of repeated intravenous infusions of BAN2401 on the immunogenicity and CSF biomarkers
Summary statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum) will be calculated for each measurement of CSF concentrations of AB1-40, AB1-42, AB1-x, total tau and p-tau and their percent changes from baseline.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamic response of repeated intravenous infusions of BAN2401 in subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild Alzheimer's disease.
Detailed Description
This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multiple ascending dose study in a total of 24 subjects (8 subjects per cohort) with MCI due to AD and mild AD. The study consists of three cohorts to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of BAN2401 at three dose levels (2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg). Each cohort consists of Screening Period before randomization, Treatment Period from randomization to last dose, and Follow-up Period after last dose. Cohorts 1, 2, and 3 will receive 2.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg of BAN2401, respectively.
