Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a Phase 1 study to examine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of TC-5619 in elderly subjects with and without Alzheimer's disease. Group 1 includes elderly subjects with Alzheimer's disease to receive TC-5619 or placebo for 28 days to evaluate safety and tolerability. Group 2 includes healthy elderly subjects in a dose escalation design to receive TC-5619 or placebo for 10 days to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics.
