E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of aducanumab over 100 weeks of treatment after a wash-out period imposed by discontinuation of feeder studies in participants who had previously received aducanumab (i.e., previously treated participants) or who had previously received placebo (i.e., treatment-naïve participants)
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Core Treatment Period: - Participant was participating in an aducanumab clinical study at the time of the announcement of early termination (feeder studies). - Has one care partner who, in the Investigator's opinion, has adequate contact with the participant as to be able to provide accurate information about the participant's cognitive and functional abilities. Other protocol defined Inclusion criteria may apply. Please refer to section 8.1 Inclusion Criteria for a full list.
LTE Treatment Period: - Participant must have completed the Core study period (Week 102) and adequately tolerated 10 mg/kg of aducanumab during the Core study period in the opinion of the Investigator. - Has one informant/care partner who, in the Investigator's opinion, has frequent and sufficient contact with the participant as to be able to provide accurate information about the participant's cognitive and functional abilities.
Note- Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Core Treatment Period: - Any medical or neurological condition (other than Alzheimer's Disease) that might be a contributing cause of the subject's cognitive impairment. -Stroke or any unexplained loss of consciousness within 1 year prior to Screening. -Clinically significant unstable psychiatric illness in past 6 months. -History of unstable angina, myocardial infarction, advanced chronic heart failure, or clinically significant conduction abnormalities within 1 year prior to Screening. - A seizure event that occurred after the last visit of the feeder study and before Screening for this study. - Evidence of impaired liver function as shown by an abnormal liver function profile at Screening. - History of or known seropositivity for HIV. - Clinically significant systemic illness or serious infection within 30 days prior to or during Screening. - Contraindications to having a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Other protocol defined Exclusion criteria may apply. Please refer to section 8.2 Exclusion Criteria of full list.
LTE Treatment Period: - Any medical or psychiatric contraindication or clinically significant abnormality that, in the opinion of the Investigator, will substantially increase the risk associated with the participant's enrollment in and completion of the study. Note- Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Core Treatment Period: 1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, life-threatening event, requires inpatient hospitalization, significant disability/incapacity or congenital anomaly.
2. Number of Participants with AEs Leading to Treatment Discontinuation or Study Withdrawal An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
3. Number of Participants with Amyloid-related Imaging Abnormality-Edema (ARIA-E) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) readings will be used to assess ARIA-E severity as mild, moderate and severe.
4. Number of Participants with Amyloid-related Imaging Abnormality- Hemorrhage or Superficial Siderosis (ARIA-H) MRI readings will be used to assess severity of ARIA-H microhemorrhages and superficial siderosis.
5. Number of Participants With Antiaducanumab Antibodies (antidrug antibodies, ADAs) in Serum Presence of serum ADAs will be determined using a validated assay. |
