Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this randomized, open-label, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study is to assess pain following subcutaneous (SC) administration of gantenerumab as a high-concentration liquid formulation (HCLF) at different injection speeds. The total duration of the study for each healthy participant will be up to approximately 21 weeks.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Local Pain as Assessed Using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [Immediately after the injection on Day 1]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Extrapolated Infinite Time (AUC[0-inf]) of Gantenerumab [0 hour (predose) and 6, 12, and 24 hours postdose on Day 1, on Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 21, 43, 64, 85]

    2. Area Under the VAS Pain-Time Curve From Time 0 to 20 Minutes (AUC[0-20]) [0 to 20 minutes after injection on Day 1]

    3. Local Pain as Assessed Using Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) Score [Immediately after the injection on Day 1]

    4. Number of Participants With Skin Reactivity, as Assessed Using a 0 (No Reactivity) to 3 (Severe Reactivity) Scale [Immediately post-dose to 6 hours on Day 1]

    5. Number of Participants With Adverse Events [From Screening to Day 85]

    6. Number of Participants With Anti-Gantenerumab Antibodies (ADAs) [Day 1 (predose [Hour 0]) and Day 85]

    7. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Gantenerumab [0 hour (predose) and 6, 12, and 24 hours postdose on Day 1, on Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 21, 43, 64, 85]
