Safety and Efficacy Study of Gantenerumab in Participants With Early Alzheimer's Disease (AD)
- Study HIC#:2000021691
- Last Updated:01/01/0001
Brief Summary:
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of gantenerumab versus placebo in participants with early (prodromal to mild) AD. All participants must show evidence of beta-amyloid pathology. Eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either subcutaneous (SC) injection of gantenerumab or placebo. The primary efficacy assessment will be performed at the end of the double blind period at week 104. Participants will then be offered to enter into an open-label extension (OLE). Participants not willing to go to the OLE will participate in a long term follow-up period for up to 50 weeks after the last gantenerumab dose.

Demonstrated abnormal memory function
MMSE score great than or equal to 22 (≥ 22)
Clinical dementia rating-global score (CDR-GS) of 0.5 or 1.0
Availability of a reliable study partner who accepts to participate in study procedures throughout the 2 years duration of study
If receiving symptomatic AD medications, the dosing regimen must have been stable for 3 months prior to baseline and until randomization.
For enrollment in the China extension, patients must have residence in mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan and be of Chinese ancestry.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
