A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Long-term Administration of Gantenerumab in Participants With Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Alzheimer Disease
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04339413
Lead Sponsor
Hoffmann-La Roche
Brief Summary

The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term administration of gantenerumab in participants with AD. All participants who have completed the open-label extensions (OLEs) of studies WN25203 or WN28745 were enrolled in Part 1 of this study. Of these, participants who completed Week 104 visit in Part 1. Participants received open-label gantenerumab by subcutaneous (SC) injection every four weeks (Q4W) at the same dose as administered in the parent studies (part 1)/ Week 104 visit.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Baseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with gantenerumab and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with gantenerumab. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any significant hazard, contraindication, side effect that is fatal or life threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is medically significant or requires intervention to prevent one or other of the outcomes listed above, and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with gantenerumab.

Number of Participants With Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities-Edema (ARIA-E) AEsBaseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)
Number of Participants With Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities-Haemosiderin Deposition (ARIA-H) AEsBaseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)
Number of Participants With Anti-drug Antibody (ADA) to GantenerumabUp to Week 133
Number of Participants With Injection-Site ReactionsBaseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)
Number of Participants Who Discontinued Treatment Due to AEsBaseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with gantenerumab and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with gantenerumab. SAE is any significant hazard, contraindication, side effect that is fatal or life threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is medically significant or requires intervention to prevent one or other of the outcomes listed above, and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with gantenerumab.

Number of Participants With Change in Any Suicidal Ideation or Behavior as Assessed by Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)Baseline (Day 1), up to Week 104

C-SSRS=assessment tool used to assess lifetime suicidality of a participant (at baseline) as well as any new instances of suicidality (C-SSRS since last visit). Structured interview prompts recollection of suicidal ideation, including intensity of ideation, behavior, \& attempts with actual/potential lethality. Categories have binary responses (yes/no) \& include Wish to be Dead; Non-specific Active Suicidal Thoughts; Active Suicidal Ideation with Any Methods (Not Plan) without Intent to Act; Active Suicidal Ideation with Some Intent to Act, without Specific Plan; Active Suicidal Ideation with Specific Plan and Intent, Preparatory Acts and Behavior; Aborted Attempt; Interrupted Attempt; Actual Attempt (non-fatal); Completed Suicide. Suicidal ideation/behavior is indicated by a "yes" answer to any of the listed categories. Score of 0= no suicide risk present. Score of 1 or higher= suicidal ideation/behavior. Number of participants with any suicidal ideation/behavior were reported.
