Study summary

This two-part study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of gantenerumab in healthy volunteers. Part I (dose escalation) will randomly assign participants to receive a single blinded SC dose of gantenerumab or placebo. Part II (PK extension) will randomly assign participants to receive a single open-label SC dose of ganenerumab at different dose levels according to safety assessments from Part I.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Part I (Dose Escalation): Gantenerumab

    Participants will receive a single SC dose of gantenerumab on Day 1.

    Drug: Gantenerumab

  • Placebo comparator
    Part I (Dose Escalation): Placebo

    Participants will receive a single SC dose of matching placebo on Day 1.

    Drug: Placebo

  • Experimental
    Part II (PK Extension): Gantenerumab

    Participants will receive a single SC dose of gantenerumab on Day 1. The dose range will be determined by safety and tolerability data collected from Part I.

    Drug: Gantenerumab

Interventions

  • DrugGantenerumab

    Gantenerumab will be supplied as a high-concentration liquid formulation for SC injection into the abdomen. The single dose will be administered on Day 1.

  • DrugPlacebo

    Placebo will be supplied as a matching liquid formulation for SC injection into the abdomen. The single dose will be administered on Day 1.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of participants with adverse events (AEs)

    Time frame: Up to 12 weeks (from Baseline to Day 85 +/- 5 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of gantenerumab

    Time frame: Predose (0 hours) and 1, 6, and 12 hours from single dose administration; once daily from Days 2 to 10; and once daily on Days 12, 15, 21, 29, 43, 64, and 85

  2. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of gantenerumab

    Time frame: Predose (0 hours) and 1, 6, and 12 hours from single dose administration; once daily from Days 2 to 10; and once daily on Days 12, 15, 21, 29, 43, 64, and 85
