A Phase 3 Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), 10% Solution (IGIV, 10%) for the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease

The purpose of this study is to provide evidence of efficacy and safety to support the
development of IGIV, 10% as a treatment option for patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer´s
Disease.

consistent with AD diagnosis

testing and infusion regimen, including adequate corrected visual acuity and hearing
ability

by local regulatory authorities. Subjects must not be on two acetylcholinesterase
inhibitors concurrently.

- Venous access for repeated infusion and phlebotomy

- If receiving psychoactive medications (eg, antidepressants other than monoamine
oxidase inhibitors [MAOIs] and most tricyclics, antipsychotics, anxiolytics,
anticonvulsants, mood stabilizers, etc.), must be on stable doses for at least 6 weeks
prior to screening

at screening and must agree to employ adequate contraceptive measures (eg, birth
control pills/patches, intrauterine device, or diaphragm or condom [for male partner]
with spermicidal jelly or foam) throughout the course of the study

- For subjects with a coronary artery stent, the subject must receive documented medical
clearance from an interventional cardiologist stating that the subject is not at
increased risk for stent occlusion with immunoglobulin treatment

- For subjects with an endovascular stent, the subject must receive documented medical
clearance from a vascular surgeon stating that the subject is not at increased risk
for thromboembolic events with immunoglobulin treatment

Main Exclusion Criteria:

- Possible AD by NINCDS-ADRDA criteria or non-Alzheimer dementia (eg, vascular dementia,
dementia with Lewy bodies, frontotemporal dementia, or dementia arising from other
diseases or conditions such as Parkinson's disease, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid
abnormalities)

- Contraindication to undergoing MRI (eg, pacemaker [with the exception of an
MRI-compatible pacemaker], severe claustrophobia, ferromagnetic implants such as a
metal plate)

syndrome, protein S/protein C deficiency, AT III deficiency)

- History of intracerebral hemorrhage within the 5 years prior to screening

location or diagnostic characterization as "possible" or "definite"), a single area of
superficial siderosis, vasogenic edema, a macrohemorrhage, major stroke, prominent
white matter disease with a rating score of 3 on the age-related white matter changes
(ARWMC) scale from the European Task Force on ARWMC, or multiple lacunae (defined as
more than 2 lacunae that are greater than 0.5 mm in size)

- Head trauma with loss of consciousness, contusion, or open head injury within the 12
months prior to screening

screening with the exception of the following: adequately treated basal cell or
squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, and stable
prostate cancer not requiring treatment

- Active autoimmune or neuro-immunologic disorder

- Uncontrolled major depression, psychosis, or other major psychiatric disorder(s)

- Poorly controlled diabetes, defined as glycosylated (or glycated) hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥
6.5% at screening

- Creatinine clearance < 50% of normal adjusted for age and gender, as calculated
according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula, at the time of screening

- Known history of untreated vitamin B12 deficiency within 6 months prior to screening,
or clinically significant abnormally low vitamin B12 at the time of screening

- Abnormal clinical chemistry panel or hematology panel meeting any one of the following
criteria:

- Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Clinically significant anemia that precludes repeated blood sampling or hemoglobin
(Hgb) < 10.0 g/dL

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1000 cells/µL

- Known coagulopathy or platelet counts < 100,000 cells/µL

- Total serum protein > 9 g/dL
