Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study of Aducanumab (BIIB037) in Japanese Participants With Alzheimer's Disease

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Alzheimer's Disease
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02434718
Lead Sponsor
Biogen
Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple intravenous (IV) infusions of Aducanumab in Japanese participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The secondary objectives of this study are as follows: To evaluate the serum pharmacokinetics (PK) of Aducanumab after single and multiple intravenous (IV) infusions of Aducanumab; To evaluate the effect of single and multiple IV infusions of Aducanumab on immunogenicity.
