6. Contraindications to MRI studies, including metal (ferromagnetic) implants, a cardiac pacemaker that is not compatible with MRI, and/or severe claustrophobia.
7. Screening MRI scan showing structural evidence of alternative pathology not consistent with PSP that could explain a substantial portion of the participant's symptoms as indicated by the central MRI read.
8. 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.
9. History of severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) including but not limited to: severe allergic reaction to previous vaccines, foods, and/or medications.
10. Hospitalization within 30 days prior to screening or baseline.
11. Infections or major surgical procedures within 3 months prior to screening, judged to be clinically significant by the site PI.
