✓. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score at screening of ≥25.
✓. Able to walk at least 10 steps with minimal assistance (e.g., one arm for safety, but not postural support).
✓. Stable doses of permitted medications as described per protocol for 30 days prior to screening.

Exclusion criteria

✕. Females who are breastfeeding or pregnant (as documented by a urine pregnancy test) during screening, or plan to become pregnant during the study.

✕. Any unstable and/or clinically significant medical condition likely to hamper the evaluation of safety and/or efficacy of study drug (e.g., clinically significant reduction in serum B12 or folate levels, clinically significant abnormalities of thyroid function, stroke, or other cerebrovascular or cardiovascular conditions), as per the site PI's judgment.
