A study to evaluate safety and tolerability of aducanumab in participants with Alzheimer's disease who had previously participated in the aducanumab studies 221AD103, 221AD301, 221AD302 and 221AD205
Phase III - Extension study (enrolling by invitation)
Information about the drug that will be tested in the study
Administration
The drug will be administered via an intravenous infusion (an injection into the vein) every four weeks.
Is the drug already on the market for another medical condition?
No
Will all participants receive the same drug
Yes, all the participants will be administered 10mg/kg of aducanumab by intravenous (IV) infusions every four weeks for a total duration of 100 weeks.
Information about participating in the trial
What are the researchers trying to find out?
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of aducanumab in participants who had previously participated in aducanumab studies and received aducanumab or placebo (a substance identical in appearance to the drug being tested with no active therapeutic effect).
How long will the treatment last?
Each participant will receive aducanumab for 100 weeks.
What your involvement will entail?
- Participants will be also requested to complete some tests to evaluate the potential side effects (it refers to unfavourable signs, symptoms or diseases temporally associated with the use of the drug tested in the study)
- During the study participants will be asked to undertake brain scans (i.e. MRI scans)
- Participants will be also requested to provide blood samples for laboratory tests.
Further information on the procedures, tests and visits can be obtained from the study team.
