简要总结
A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gantenerumab in amyloid-positive, cognitively unimpaired participants at risk for or at the earliest stages of AD. The planned number of participants for this study is approximately 1200 participants randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either gantenerumab or placebo (600 participants randomized to gantenerumab and 600 participants randomized to placebo).

- •History or presence of intracranial mass lesion (e.g., glioma, meningioma) that could potentially impair cognition or lead to progressive neurological deficits.
- •Infections that may affect brain function or a history of infections that resulted in neurologic sequelae [e.g., human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis, neuroborreliosis, and viral or bacterial meningitis and encephalitis].
- •History of major depression, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder.
- •At risk for suicide.

- •Any other investigational treatment within 5 half-lives or 6 months (whichever is longer) prior to screening.
- •Typical/Atypical anti-psychotic medications or neuroleptic medications.
- •Anticoagulation medications within 3 months of screening with no plans to initiate any prior to randomization.
- •Any previous treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists are exclusionary at screening.
- •Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study or within 17 weeks after the final dose of gantenerumab.

结局指标
主要结局
Change From Baseline in PACC-5 Score
时间窗: Baseline to early termination visit (up to 225 days from start of treatment)
The PACC-5 is computed as the average of z-scores of the following cognitive measures: 1. Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS LM I-II) - Total Score LM II Delayed Recall; 2. Free \& Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) -Immediate and Delayed Recall - Trials 1-3: Total Recall; 3. Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) - IV Coding - Total Raw Score; 4. Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) - Total Score; 5. Category Fluency Test (CFT) - 3 categories - Vegetables, Fruits and Animals - Total Admissible Words. The z-score was defined as the difference between the assessment and the mean of baseline assessments, divided by the standard deviation of baseline assessments. Z-scores range from -3 to +3 with higher scores indicating better cognitive performance.
