Study Summary

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of gantenerumab versus placebo in participants with early (prodromal to mild) AD. All participants must show evidence of beta-amyloid pathology. Eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either subcutaneous (SC) injection of gantenerumab or placebo. The primary efficacy assessment will be performed at the end of the double blind period at week 116. Participants will then be offered to enter into an open-label extension (OLE). Participants not willing to go to the OLE will participate in a long term follow-up period for up to 50 weeks after the last gantenerumab dose.

Primary Outcome

CDR was derived through semi-structured interview with the participant and an appropriate informant, and it rated impairment across six domains: memory, orientation, judgment, and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care on a 5-point scale for which 0=no impairment, 0.5=questionable impairment, and 1, 2, and 3=mild, moderate, and severe impairment, respectively. The CDR-SB is based on summing each of the domain box scores with total score ranging from 0-18 with hig
