Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)		Up to 113 weeks
Primary	Number of participants with Clinically Significant Clinical Laboratory Parameter Values		Up to 113 weeks
Primary	Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Vital Sign Values		Up to 113 weeks
Primary	Number of Participants with Clinically Significant 12-Lead electrocardiogram Findings		Up to 113 weeks
Primary	Change from Baseline in Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)	The C-SSRS is a suicidal ideation and behavior rating scale with yes/no responses. For each of the 5 items of the C-SSRS related to suicidal ideation intensity, an individual's degree of suicidal ideation is rated on a 0-5 scale with 0: no suicidal behavior and 5: active suicidal ideation. The total score is the sum of the 5 intensity item scores (total score ranges from 0 to 25). Higher scores in the scale indicate greater disease severity.	Baseline and up to 113 weeks
Primary	Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Physical Examination Findings		Up to 113 weeks
Primary	Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Neurological Examination Findings		Up to 113 weeks
Primary	Number of participants with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities		Up to 113 weeks
Primary	Plasma concentration of TB006		Pre-dose, and Weeks 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 45, 73, 101 and 113
Primary	Number of Participants with Anti-TB006 Antibodies		Up to 113 weeks
Secondary	Change from Baseline in Clinical Dementia Rating Scale-Sum of Boxes (CDR SB) score	The CDR scale is a clinician-rated dementia staging system that tracks the progression of cognitive impairment in 6 categories (memory, orientation, judgement and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care). Each category is scored on a 5-point scale in which None = 0, Questionable = 0.5, Mild = 1, Moderate = 2, and Severe = 3. The global CDR score is established by clinical scoring rules and has values of 0 (no dementia), 0.5, (questionable dementia), 1 (mild dementia), 2 (moderate dementia), and 3 (severe dementia). The Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) is obtained by adding the ratings in each of the 6 categories and ranges from 0 to 18 with higher scores indicative of greater impairment.	Baseline and up to Week 101
Secondary	Change from Baseline in cognitive functioning	Cognitive functioning will be measured by Cognitive Drug Research system (CDR) Computerized Assessment system. It assesses different cognitive domains: attention, working memory, episodic memory, and executive function. It contains 11 tests and is performed on a tablet-like device. Participants respond via 'Yes (1)' and 'No (0)' buttons on a two-button response box. The minimum possible score is 0 and maximum possible score is 11. Higher score indicates better cognitive function	Baseline and up to Week 101
Secondary	Change from Baseline in Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score	Global cognitive functioning is measured by MMSE. MMSE is a neuropsychological test for the evaluation of intellectual efficiency disorders and the presence of cognitive impairment. The total score is between a minimum of 0 (worse cognitive function) and a maximum of 30 points (normal cognitive function). A lower score indicates severe impairment of cognitive abilities and a higher score indicates cognitive normality.	Baseline and up to Week 101
Secondary	Change from Baseline in Neuropsychiatry Inventory (NPI) score	The NPI is a condition-specific measure designed to assess 12 behavioral disturbances, namely delusions, hallucinations, depression/dysphoria, anxiety, agitation/aggression, elation/euphoria, disinhibition, irritability/lability, apathy, aberrant motor activity, night-time behavior disturbances, and appetite/eating abnormalities. The frequency is scored from 0 (never) to 4 (very frequently) and severity ranges between 0 (none) to 3 (marked). The domain score is obtained by multiplying frequency and severity scores. The total NPI score is the sum total of all individual domain scores (0-144). A higher score indicates abnormal behaviour.	Baseline and up to Week 101
Secondary	Change from Baseline in EuroQol 5 Dimension 5-Level quality of life (EQ 5D 5L QoL) total score	EuroQol 5 is a self-reported description of participant's current health in 5 dimensions i.e., mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Participants to grade their own current level of function in each dimension into one of three degrees of disability (severe, moderate or none). Score ranges between 1 (no problem) and 3 (significant problem). higher scores indicating higher health utility. The total score is the sum total of all individual domain scores (5-15). Higher scores indicates poor quality of life.	Baseline and up to Week 101
Secondary	Change from Baseline in brain atrophy measured by MRI		Baseline and up to Week 113
Secondary	Change from Baseline in amyloid plaque using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging		Baseline and up to Week 113
Secondary	Change from Baseline in brain volume using MRI		Baseline and up to Week 113
