Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - Gantenerumab

Placebo Comparator: Part 1 (Double Blind treatment): Placebo - Participants received matching placebo by subcutaneous (SC) injection every 4 weeks (Q4W) up to 100 weeks during Part 1 of the study.

Experimental: Part 1 (Double Blind treatment): Gantenerumab - Participants received 105 mg Gantenerumab by SC injection Q4W for 24 weeks and if eligible 225 mg SC injection Q4W from weeks 28-100 during Part 1 of the study.

Placebo Comparator: Part 2 (Open-Label Extension [OLE] treatment): Placebo switched to Gantenerumab Up to 1200 mg - Participants who had received Placebo in Part 1, received Gantenerumab at doses up to 1200 mg by SC injection Q4W for up to 2 years. Additionally, participants were given the option to continue receiving open-label gantenerumab treatment for 3 years.

Experimental: Part 2 (OLE treatment): Gantenerumab up to 1200 mg - Participants who had received Gantenerumab in Part 1, received treatment at doses up to 1200 mg by SC injection Q4W for up to 2 years. Additionally, participants were given the option to continue receiving open-label gantenerumab treatment for 3 years.


Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Participants received Placebo SC injection Q4W.

Treatment: Drugs: Gantenerumab

Summary
Brief summary
Part 1 is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study
will evaluate the efficacy and safety of gantenerumab in participants with mild Alzheimer
disease. Participants will be randomized to receive either gantenerumab subcutaneously every
4 weeks or placebo subcutaneously every 4 weeks. Approved Alzheimer medication is allowed if
on stable dose for 3 months prior to screening. Part 2 is an open-label extension (OLE).

A positron emission tomography (PET) imaging substudy will be conducted within the main
study. Eligible participants who provide separate informed consent will undergo PET imaging
scans using the radioligand florbetapir as a pharmacodynamic measure of changes in brain
amyloid load over time.
