|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Prematurely discontinued from the OLEs of Studies WN25203 or WN28745 or from study drug for any reason
- Any medical condition that the investigator or Sponsor determines may jeopardize the participant’s safety if he or she continues to receive study treatment
- If the participant is unlikely to benefit from gantenerumab therapy, based on disease progression or other factors, or if study participation is otherwise not in the participant’s best interest, by determination of the investigator or Sponsor
- Any investigational treatment other than gantenerumab during or since completion of the OLEs of Studies WN25203 or WN28745
- Pregnancy
- Evidence of disseminated leptomeningeal hemosiderosis
