Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Part 1 is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of gantenerumab in participants with mild Alzheimer disease. Participants will be randomized to receive either gantenerumab subcutaneously every 4 weeks or placebo subcutaneously every 4 weeks. Approved Alzheimer medication is allowed if on stable dose for 3 months prior to screening. Part 2 is an open-label extension (OLE).

A positron emission tomography (PET) imaging substudy will be conducted within the main study. Eligible participants who provide separate informed consent will undergo PET imaging scans using the radioligand florbetapir as a pharmacodynamic measure of changes in brain amyloid load over time.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [First dose up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (up to 249 weeks)]

    An AE 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. SAE is any adverse event that is fatal or which requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization or results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or causes congenital anomaly/birth defect or results in a significant medical event in the investigator's judgment.

  2. Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) [First dose up to last dose (Baseline up to until maximum 5 years)]

    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 participants previously (in part 1) on Gantenerumab and Placebo. The prevalence of ADA at baseline was calculated as the percentage 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 percentage 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.

  3. Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation of Treatment [First dose up to 4 weeks after the last dose in OLE (Up to approximately 249 weeks)]

    Percentage of participants with adverse events leading to discontinuation from treatment were reported.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Part 1: Percentage of Participants With AEs, SAEs [First dose up to last dose (Up to approximately 152 weeks)]

    An AE 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. A serious adverse event is any adverse event that is fatal or which requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization or results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or causes congenital anomaly/birth defect or results in a significant medical event in the investigator's judgment.

  2. Part 1: Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent ADAs [First dose up to last dose (Up to approximately 152 weeks)]

    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 participants previously (in part 1) on Gantenerumab and Placebo. The prevalence of ADA at baseline was calculated as the percentage 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 percentage 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.

  3. Part 1: Gantenerumab Plasma Concentration at Multiple Timepoints [Pre-dose: Weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 and Post dose: Day 4]

  4. Part 1: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation of Treatment [First dose up to last dose (Up to approximately 152 weeks)]

    Percentage of participants with adverse events leading to discontinuation from treatment were reported.

  5. Part 2: Percent Change From Baseline in Hippocampal Volume at Week 104 [Baseline (Part 1 screening), Week 104]

    Change from baseline in hippocampal right volume (HRV) and hippocampal left volume (HLV) were analyzed at Week 104 using magnetic resonance imaging.

  6. Part 2: Percent Change From Baseline in Whole Brain Volume at Week 104 [Baseline (Part 1 screening), Week 104]

    Change from baseline brain volume were analyzed at Week 104 using magnetic resonance imaging.

  7. Part 2: Percent Change From Baseline in Cortical Thickness at Week 104 [Baseline (Part 1 screening), Week 104]

    Change from baseline in cortical thickness were analyzed at Week 104 using magnetic resonance imaging.

  8. Part 2: Ventricular Volume as Measured by MRI at Week 104 [Part 2: Week 104]

    Ventricular volume were analyzed at Week 104 using magnetic resonance imaging.

  9. Part 2: Gantenerumab Plasma Concentration at Multiple Timepoints [Pre-dose: Weeks 104, 116, 156, 208; Post-dose: Weeks 53, 101]

  10. Part 2: Change From Baseline in Brain Amyloid Load at Week 156 in a Subset of Participants [Baseline, Week 156]

    Brain amyloid load over time was assessed using a Florbetapir [F18] injection, a positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand selective to amyloid. Analysis was conducted in a subset of participants who signed consent to participate in the PET substudy. Amyloid PET burden was measured in a composite region of interest (ROI) by using standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) mapped to the centiloid scale. The composite region was composed of the following six bilateral regions: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, posterior cingulate cortex, anterior cingulate cortex. The reference region used to normalize the composite region was the cerebellar cortex. SUVR is ratio of tracer uptake in each of cingulate, frontal, parietal and temporal cortexes relative to cerebellum. The centiloid scale anchor points are 0 and 100, where 0 represents a high-certainty amyloid negative scan and 100 represents the amount of global amyloid deposition found in a typical AD scans.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Description An AE 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. SAE is any adverse event that is fatal or which requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization or results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or causes congenital anomaly/birth defect or results in a significant medical event in the investigator's judgment.
Time Frame First dose up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (up to 249 weeks)

Title Part 2: Change From Baseline in Brain Amyloid Load at Week 156 in a Subset of Participants
Description Brain amyloid load over time was assessed using a Florbetapir [F18] injection, a positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand selective to amyloid. Analysis was conducted in a subset of participants who signed consent to participate in the PET substudy. Amyloid PET burden was measured in a composite region of interest (ROI) by using standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) mapped to the centiloid scale. The composite region was composed of the following six bilateral regions: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, posterior cingulate cortex, anterior cingulate cortex. The reference region used to normalize the composite region was the cerebellar cortex. SUVR is ratio of tracer uptake in each of cingulate, frontal, parietal and temporal cortexes relative to cerebellum. The centiloid scale anchor points are 0 and 100, where 0 represents a high-certainty amyloid negative scan and 100 represents the amount of global amyloid deposition found in a typical AD scans.
