The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
Information provided by (Responsible Party):
Hoffmann-La Roche
  Purpose
This multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group study will evaluate the effect of gantenerumab (RO4909832) on cognition and functioning and the safety and pharmacokinetics in participants with prodromal Alzheimer's Disease. Participants will be randomized to receive subcutaneous (SC) injections of either gantenerumab or placebo. Participants who consent to be part of the sub study will undergo positron emission tomography (PET) scanning to assess brain amyloid. The anticipated time on study treatment is 104 weeks, with an option for an additional 2 years of treatment.

Condition Intervention Phase
Alzheimer's Disease Drug: Gantenerumab Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double (Participant, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Two Year Study to Evaluate the Effect of Subcutaneous RO4909832 on Cognition and Function in Prodromal Alzheimer's Disease and Up to Three Years of an Open-Label Extension With Active Study Treatment

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Gantenerumab 105 mg (Parts 1 and 2)
Participants with Alzheimer's disease will receive gantenerumab 105 milligrams (mg) by SC injection every 4 weeks (q4w) for 104 weeks or approximately 2 years during Part 1 of the study. Participants who complete the Week 104 visit will be given an option to continue the treatment received during Part 1 for 2 additional years in Part 2.
 Drug: Gantenerumab
Participants will receive gantenerumab 105 or 225 mg SC injection q4w.
Experimental: Gantenerumab 225 mg (Parts 1 and 2)
Participants with Alzheimer's disease will receive gantenerumab 225 mg by SC injection q4w for 104 weeks or approximately 2 years during Part 1 of the study. Participants who complete the Week 104 visit will be given an option to continue the treatment received during Part 1 for 2 additional years in Part 2.
 Drug: Gantenerumab
Participants will receive gantenerumab 105 or 225 mg SC injection q4w.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo (Parts 1 and 2)
Participants with Alzheimer's disease will receive placebo SC injection q4w for 104 weeks or approximately 2 years during Part 1 of the study. Participants who complete the Week 104 visit will be given an option to continue the treatment received during Part 1 for 2 additional years in Part 2.
 Drug: Placebo
Participants will receive placebo SC injection q4w.
