Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: • To evaluate the effect of gantenerumab doses 105 mg and 225 mg given subcutaneous (SC) every 4 weeks (Q4W) vs. placebo on the change in the Clinical Dementia Rating scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SOB), a global measure of cognition and functional ability. Dosing was stopped after a planned futility interim analysis that indicated low probability of meeting the primary outcome measure with the doses studied. Additional analyses suggested that higher doses of gantenerumab may have clinically relevant effects on cognition and function and are being tested in the open-label extension. Open-label extension (OLE): • To assess the short-term and long-term safety and tolerability of gantenerumab given at doses up to 1200 mg SC Q4W by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), physical and neurological examinations, vital signs, blood safety tests, electrocardiogram (ECG)s, Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), and adverse event monitoring ;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the effect of gantenerumab vs. placebo - On cognition, on functioning and on onset of dementia - On the safety and tolerability of gantenerumab - On volumetric measures of the brain and structures - On change in cerebrospinal fluid biomarker measures (CSF) • Pharmacotkinetics • Antidrug antibodies (ADAs), and if relevant, evaluate its effect on the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, efficacy and safety parameters. Open-label extension • To evaluate the effect of 1200 mg gantenerumab SC Q4W over time compared to baseline and to start of open-label extension - On changes in amyloid load in the brain by PET using Florbetapir - 18F - On volumetric measures of the brain - On clinical outcomes (cognition and functioning) • To explore pharmacokinetics and ADAs with higher gantenerumab doses;Primary end point(s): 1. Change in CDR-SOB 2. Open-label extension: To assess long-term and short-term safety and tolerability of gantenerumab (nature and incidence of adverse events; MRI findings) ;Timepoint(s) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. Change in cognition assessed with Alzheimer Disease Assessment Scale-Cognition , Mini Mental State Exam, Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (double-blind only), and Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test – Immediate Recall (double-blind only) 2. Change in functioning assessed with Functional Activities Questionnaire 3. Change in cerebrospinal fluid biomarker measures (T-tau, P-tau, and Abeta 1-42; double-blind only) 4. Change in brain amyloid load using PET Positron Emission Tomography 5. Pharmacokinetics: gantenerumab levels 6. Safety (nature and incidence of adverse events; MRI findings) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1-6. double-blind, 2 years; open-label extension, 3 years | — |
