About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicenter, Rollover Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Long-Term Administration of Gantenerumab in Participants With Alzheimer's Disease

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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GantenerumabDrug

    Gantenerumab was administered as SC injection Q4W.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    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.

    Measured: Baseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)

  2. Number of Participants With Change in Any Suicidal Ideation or Behavior as Assessed by Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)

    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.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1), up to Week 104

  3. Number of Participants With Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities-Edema (ARIA-E) AEs

    Measured: Baseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)

  4. Number of Participants With Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities-Haemosiderin Deposition (ARIA-H) AEs

    Measured: Baseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)

  5. Number of Participants With Anti-drug Antibody (ADA) to Gantenerumab

    Measured: Up to Week 133

  6. Number of Participants With Injection-Site Reactions

    Measured: Baseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)

  7. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Treatment Due to AEs

    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.

    Measured: Baseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Gantenerumab in people with Alzheimer Disease, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 56 sites in 17 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 56 sites in United States, Spain, Canada, Italy, United Kingdom and 12 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jan 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Baseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jan 2024.
