Inclusion Criteria:

General Inclusion Criteria:

  • Body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 35 kilogram per meter square (kg/m^2), inclusive (BMI = weight/height^2) and body weight greater than 40 kilogram (kg) but less than 110 kg at screening

Exclusion Criteria:

General Exclusion Criteria

Any potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in the study:

  • History of or current liver or renal insufficiency; significant cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic (including but not limited to neurodegenerative disease (excluding AD for Part 2) [example, Parkinson's disease], seizure disorders, transient ischemic attacks, etc.), hematologic (including coagulation disorders), rheumatologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disturbances, any inflammatory illness or any other illness that the Investigator considers should exclude the subject
  • Relevant history of or current neurological disease (other than prodromal AD or mild AD for Part 2), which in the opinion of the investigator may make interpretation of possible new neurological signs or symptoms difficult
  • History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive, or tests positive for HIV at Screening (per screening evaluations)

Arm Label

SAD (Part 1): Healthy Subjects

MAD (Part 2): Subjects With Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

Arm Description

In Part 1, single ascending intravenous (IV) doses of JNJ-63733657 or placebo will be administered to sequential cohorts (Cohorts 1 to 5) of healthy subjects on Day 1. The progression to the next (higher) dose level is dependent on acceptable safety and tolerability profile of JNJ-63733657 obtained after dose administration of the current dose level. Here, SAD indicates single ascending dose.

In Part 2, multiple ascending IV doses of JNJ-63733657 or placebo will be evaluated at three dose levels in sequential cohorts in subjects with prodromal or mild AD; 3 doses will be administered over a period of 8 weeks (Day 1, Day 29, Day 57). The starting dose will be decided based on the data from Part 1. Escalations will be done based on safety and tolerability similar to Part 1. Doses will not exceed those tested in Part 1. Here, MAD indicates multiple ascending dose.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Single Ascending Dose (SAD) (Part 1): Number of Subjects With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability of JNJ-63733657
An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a subject administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.
Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) (Part 2): Number of Subjects With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability of JNJ-63733657
An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a subject administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.

Secondary Outcome Measures

SAD (Part 1) and MAD (Part 2): Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of JNJ-63733657
The Cmax is the maximum observed serum concentration of drug JNJ-63733657.
SAD (Part 1) and MAD (Part 2): Time to Reach Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Tmax) of JNJ-63733657
Tmax is defined as time to reach the maximum observed serum JNJ-63733657 concentration.
SAD (Part 1) and MAD (Part 2): Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Time of the Last Observed Quantifiable Concentration (AUC [0-Last]) of JNJ-63733657
AUC (0-last) is defined as area under the serum JNJ-63733657 concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of the last observed quantifiable concentration.
SAD (Part 1) and MAD (Part 2): Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-infinity]) of JNJ-63733657
AUC (0-infinity) is defined as area under the serum JNJ-63733657 concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time.
MAD (Part 2): Area Under the Serum JNJ-63733657 Concentration-time Curve During a Dosing Interval (t) (AUC tau)
AUC tau is defined as area under the serum JNJ-63733657 concentration-time curve during a dosing interval (tau).
MAD (Part 2): Accumulation Ratio (R)
R is obtained by dividing AUC of JNJ-63733657 at two different time points.
SAD (Part 1) and MAD (Part 2): Total Systemic Clearance (CL) of JNJ-63733657
CL is a quantitative measure of the rate at which JNJ-63733657 is removed from the body. The total systemic clearance after intravenous dose is estimated by dividing the total administered dose by the plasma Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC[0-infinity]).
SAD (Part 1) and MAD (Part 2): Volume of Distribution at Steady-State (Vss) of JNJ-63733657
Vss is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug. Steady state Vss is the apparent volume of distribution at steady-state which is estimated by (D/AUC[0-infinity])*(AUMC[0-infinity])/AUC[0-infinity]) where D is the dose of study drug, AUMC(0-infinity) is the area under the first moment curve extrapolated to infinity and AUC(0-infinity) is the area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time.
SAD (Part 1) and MAD (Part 2): Terminal Half-Life(t[1/2]) of JNJ-63733657
t(1/2) is associated with the terminal slope (lambda [z]) of the semi-logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).
SAD (Part 1) and MAD (Part 2): JNJ-63733657 Concentration in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
CSF concentration assessment will be done to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) to estimate CSF concentration of JNJ-63733657.
SAD (Part 1) and MAD (Part 2): Number of Subjects With Anti-JNJ-6373365 Antibodies as a Measure of Immunogenicity
Number of subjects with Anti-JNJ-63733657 antibodies will be evaluated in serum samples and potential CSF samples.
SAD (Part 1) and MAD (Part 2): Percent Change From Baseline in Total, Free, and Bound tau Biomarker Fragments in CSF
Percent change from baseline in total, free, and bound tau (phosphorylation site) biomarker fragments in CSF will be evaluated to assess the effect of JNJ-63733657.
