126This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NA-83 in subjects with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease
Mild cognitive impairment ("MCI") is defined as the "symptomatic pre-dementia stage" on the continuum of cognitive decline. Currently, no medications have proven effective for MCI. Preclinical experiments indicate that NA-831 is an endogenous small molecule that exhibits neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and cognitive protective properties across a range of disease models. NA-831 has been shown to be safe and well tolerated in healthy volunteers. This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NA-83 in 126 subjects with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease

Have had a stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) or unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 1 year History of seizures or epilepsy within the last 5 years History of hepatitis or liver disease that has been active within the 6 months prior toScreening History of malignancy occurring within the 5 years before Screening, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or localized prostate carcinoma Clinically significant vitamin B12 or folate deficiency in the 6 months before Screening History of unstable angina, myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure or clinically significant conduction abnormalities within 1 year prior to Screening Visit History of alcohol or substance abuse or dependence within the past year. Has human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by medical history Acute infective sinusitis. History or presence of an abnormality of the external or internal structures of the nose or nasopharynx, except for surgical correction of the nasal septum or a "broken nose" at least 2 years previously, or surgical repair of cleft palate when <30 years of age. Use of medications that are known to cause frank obtundation of cognition History of or current significant systemic disease judged to interfere with the study evaluations or likely to be a safety concern. Untreated sleep apnea or treatment for sleep apnea for <3 months. Clinically significant systemic illness or serious infection within 30 days prior to or during the screening period Use of allowed medications for chronic conditions at doses that have not been stable for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening, or use of AD medications at doses that have not been stable for at least 8 weeks prior to Screening Abnormal clinical laboratory test results, specifically: Alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate transaminase (AST) >2 х the upper limit of normal (ULN),Hematology <80% the lower limit of normal, Creatinine ≥2 mg/dL and ,Other clinical laboratory values or vital signs considered clinically significant in the opinion of the Investigator. Treatment with any investigational drug, biologic, or device within the previous 30 days prior to screening. Surgery involving general anesthesia within the past 3 months or planned surgery requiring general anesthesia during the study period. Contraindications to study procedures Use of any medications that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may contribute to cognitive impairment, put the participants at higher risk for adverse events (AEs), or impair the participant's ability to perform cognitive testing or complete study procedures.
