Alzheimer Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a Phase II, multicenter, open-label, single arm, PD study in participants with early (prodromal to mild) AD to evaluate the effect of a once weekly (Q1W) dosing regimen of gantenerumab on deposited amyloid as measured by change from baseline to Week 104 (primary) and Week 208 in brain amyloid positron emission tomography (PET). The administration of gantenerumab as a single injection of Q1W will be investigated in this study, to simplify the dosing regimen for participants.
Interventions
Gantenerumab will be administered by SC injection at a dose of 120 mg Q4W for 12 weeks, followed by 255 mg Q4W for 12 weeks, and 255 mg Q2W for another 12 weeks, followed by the target dose 255 mg Q1W for up to Week 103 and an optional dose of 255 mg Q1W for up to Week 207.

Suicidal ideation/behavior is indicated by a yes answer to any of the listed categories. Score of 0 is assigned if no suicide risk is present. Score of 1 or higher= suicidal ideation or behavior. Categories with non-zero values are only reported here.
Time frame: From day of first dose up to 16 weeks after the last dose (up to 120 weeks)
Population: Safety Evaluable population included all participants enrolled who received at least one dose of study treatment, whether prematurely withdrawn from the study or not. Overall number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analysis.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Anti-Drug Antibodies to Gantenerumab
A participant with an ADA assay result from at least one post-baseline sample was defined as a post-baseline evaluable participant. Treatment Emergent ADA was defined as a participant with a negative or missing baseline ADA result(s) and at least one positive post-baseline ADA result, or a participant with a positive ADA result at baseline who has at least one post-baseline titer results with at least a \>2.5-fold increase in titer compared to baseline greater than the baseline titer result.

Plasma Concentration of Subcutaneous (SC) Gantenerumab at Specified Timepoints
Time frame: Day 4 of Week 1, Week 24, 36, 52, and 76
Population: PK evaluable population included only participants that received the previous 6, 4, 6 or 6 planned doses at weeks 24, 36, 52 and 76, respectively. Overall number analyzed was the number of participants with data available for analysis. Number Analyzed was the number of participants with data available for analyses at the specified timepoint.
