Alzheimer's Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of crenezumab versus placebo in participants with prodromal to mild AD. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either intravenous (IV) infusion of crenezumab or placebo every 4 weeks (Q4W) for 100 weeks. The final efficacy and safety assessment will be performed 52 weeks after the last crenezumab dose. Participants will then have the option to enter the Open Label Extension (OLE) study if eligible. Participants who do not enter the OLE study will have additional follow-up visits at 16 and 52 weeks after the last dose, primarily for safety and also for limited efficacy assessments.
Interventions
Crenezumab was administered by intravenous (IV) infusion at 60mg/kg as per the dosing schedule described above.
Placebo was administered by intravenous (IV) infusion at 60mg/kg as per the dosing schedule described above.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change From Baseline to Week 105 in Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) Score | Baseline, Week 105 | The CDR-SB rates impairment in 6 categories (memory, orientation, judgement and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies and personal care) on a 5-point scale in which no impairment = 0, questionable impairment = 0.5 and mild, moderate and severe impairment = 1, 2 and 3 respectively. The score range is from 0 to 18 with a high score indicating a high disease severity. The difference in mean change from Baseline to Week 105 between Crenezumab and Placebo treated participants was estimated. Mixed model repeated measures (MMRMs) adjusting for disease severity, APOEe4 status, geographic region and the use or non-use of anti-dementia medications at baseline were used to estimate the mean change from baseline for this primary endpoint. Data after 29 January 2019 are censored for the primary and secondary efficacy analyses to avoid potential biases due to investigators, participants, raters, etc. being potentially influenced by early closure of the study due to lack of efficacy. |

The severity of each neuropsychiatric symptom is rated on a 3-point scale (mild, moderate and marked). The total severity score range is from 0 to 36 with higher scores representing higher severity. The difference in mean change from Baseline to Week 105 between Crenezumab and Placebo treated participants was estimated. Mixed model repeated measures (MMRMs) adjusting for disease severity, APOEe4 status, geographic region, and the use or non-use of anti-dementia medications at baseline were used to estimate the mean change from baseline. |
| Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease (QoL-AD) Scale Score | Baseline up to Week 105 | The QoL-AD (Quality of Life - Alzheimer's Disease) scale assesses QoL in participants who have dementia. The QoL-AD consists of 13 items covering aspects of participants' relationships with friends and family, physical condition, mood, concerns about finances and overall assessment of QoL. Items are rated on 4-point Likert-type scales ranging from 1 \[poor\] to 4 \[excellent\]. The score range is from 13 to 52, with higher scores indicating a better QoL. The difference in mean change from Baseline to Week 105 between Crenezumab and Placebo treated participants was estimated. Mixed model repeated measures (MMRMs) adjusting for disease severity, APOEe4 status, geographic region, and the use or non-use of anti-dementia medications at baseline were used to estimate the mean change from baseline. |
| Zarit Caregiver Interview for Alzheimer's Disease (ZCI-AD) Scale Score | Baseline up to Week 105 | The ZCI-AD is a modified version of the Zarit Burden Interview, which was originally designed to reflect the stresses experienced by caregivers of people with dementia. This modified version includes slight modifications in item and title wording (e.g., removal of your relative to refer directly to the patient, removal of burden from title) and the use of 11-point numerical rating scales. The ZCI-AD scale consists of a total of 30 items. Total scores will be calculated with a total score range from 0 to 300 (higher scores indicate a higher burden on the caregiver). The difference in mean change from Baseline to Week 105 between Crenezumab and Placebo treated participants was estimated. Mixed model repeated measures (MMRMs) adjusting for disease severity, APOEe4 status, geographic region, and the use or non-use of anti-dementia medications at baseline were used to estimate the mean change from baseline. |

Most of these are assessed by tests although some are rated by the clinician on a 5-point scale. The ADAS-Cog-13 is the ADAS-Cog-11 with 2 further items: delayed word recall and total digit cancellation. The score range for ADAS-Cog-13 is from 0 to 85 with high scores representing severe dysfunction. The difference in mean change from Baseline to Week 105 between Crenezumab and Placebo treated participants was estimated. Mixed model repeated measures (MMRMs) adjusting for disease severity, APOEe4 status, geographic region, and the use or non-use of anti-dementia medications at baseline were used to estimate the mean change from baseline. |
| EQ-5D Questionnaire Domain Score for Caregivers | Baseline up to Week 105 | The EQ-5D is a standardized measure of health status designed to provide a simple generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal. It is broadly applicable across a wide range of health conditions and treatment. The EQ-5D assesses five domains to provide a health state index. These are anxiety/depression, pain/discomfort, usual activities, mobility, and self-care. The scores on the EQ-5D ranges from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). The difference in mean change from Baseline to Week 105 between Crenezumab and Placebo treated participants was estimated. Mixed model repeated measures (MMRMs) adjusting for disease severity, APOEe4 status, geographic region, and the use or non-use of anti-dementia medications at baseline were used to estimate the mean change from baseline. |
| Percentage of Participants With Adverse Event (AEs) and Serious Adverse Event (SAEs) | Baseline up until 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug (up to 117 weeks). | An Adverse Event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events. |
| Percentage of Participants With Anti-Crenezumab Antibodies | Baseline up to Week 105 | Participants were considered positive or negative for ADA based on their baseline and post-baseline sample results. The number and percentage of participants with confirmed positive ADA levels were determined for Crenezumab and Placebo groups. The prevalence of ADA at baseline was calculated as the proportion of participants with confirmed positive ADA levels at baseline relative to the total number of participants with a sample available at baseline. The incidence of treatment-emergent ADAs was determined as the proportion of participants with confirmed post-baseline positive ADAs relative to the total number of participants that had at least one post-baseline sample available for ADA analysis. |
| Serum Concentration of Crenezumab | Pre-infusion (0 hour), 60-90 minutes post-infusion on Day 1 Week 1 and on Week 25; Weeks 13, 37 (Pre-dose), 53, 77 and 105 (infusion length = as per the Pharmacy Manual) | Serum concentration data for Crenezumab will be tabulated and summarized. Descriptive summary statistics will include the arithmetic mean and SD. Since a sparse PK sampling design is being used, population (non-linear mixed-effects) modeling will be used to analyze the dose concentration-time data of crenezumab. Information from other clinical studies may be incorporated to establish the PK model. Please note that Post-dose samples were not collected at Weeks 37 and 105. |
| Plasma Amyloid Beta (Abeta) 40 Concentrations | Week 1 Day 1; Weeks 13, 25, 53, 77 and 105 | Plasma Abeta 40 concentrations will be measured over time and descriptive summary statistics will include the arithmetic mean and SD. Please note that a Post-dose sample was only collected at Week 13. |
| Plasma Amyloid Beta (Abeta) 42 Concentrations | Week 1 Day 1; Weeks 13, 25, 53, 77 and 105 | Plasma Abeta 42 concentrations will be measured over time and descriptive summary statistics will include the arithmetic mean and SD. Please note that a Post-dose sample was only collected at Week 13. |
| Percentage Change From Baseline to Week 105 in Whole Brain Volume as Determined by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) | Baseline, Week 105 | Percentage Change in Whole Brain Volume will be measured over time and descriptive summary statistics will include the arithmetic mean, median, range, SD, and coefficient of variation, as appropriate. Mixed model repeated measures (MMRMs) adjusting for disease severity, APOEe4 status, geographic region, and the use or non-use of anti-dementia medications at baseline were used to estimate the mean change from baseline. |

Outcome results
Change From Baseline to Week 105 in Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) Score
The CDR-SB rates impairment in 6 categories (memory, orientation, judgement and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies and personal care) on a 5-point scale in which no impairment = 0, questionable impairment = 0.5 and mild, moderate and severe impairment = 1, 2 and 3 respectively. The score range is from 0 to 18 with a high score indicating a high disease severity. The difference in mean change from Baseline to Week 105 between Crenezumab and Placebo treated participants was estimated. Mixed model repeated measures (MMRMs) adjusting for disease severity, APOEe4 status, geographic region and the use or non-use of anti-dementia medications at baseline were used to estimate the mean change from baseline for this primary endpoint. Data after 29 January 2019 are censored for the primary and secondary efficacy analyses to avoid potential biases due to investigators, participants, raters, etc. being potentially influenced by early closure of the study due to lack of efficacy.

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Event (AEs) and Serious Adverse Event (SAEs)
An Adverse Event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.
Time frame: Baseline up until 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug (up to 117 weeks).
Population: The Safety analysis population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug with participants grouped according to actual treatment received. If a participant received at least 2 vials of crenezumab, then they were placed in the crenezumab arm.

Zarit Caregiver Interview for Alzheimer's Disease (ZCI-AD) Scale Score
The ZCI-AD is a modified version of the Zarit Burden Interview, which was originally designed to reflect the stresses experienced by caregivers of people with dementia. This modified version includes slight modifications in item and title wording (e.g., removal of your relative to refer directly to the patient, removal of burden from title) and the use of 11-point numerical rating scales. The ZCI-AD scale consists of a total of 30 items. Total scores will be calculated with a total score range from 0 to 300 (higher scores indicate a higher burden on the caregiver). The difference in mean change from Baseline to Week 105 between Crenezumab and Placebo treated participants was estimated. Mixed model repeated measures (MMRMs) adjusting for disease severity, APOEe4 status, geographic region, and the use or non-use of anti-dementia medications at baseline were used to estimate the mean change from baseline.
