Participant Flow

Participants were enrolled at 10 investigative sites in the United States from 20 December 2018 to 30 July 2019.

A total of 52 participants with Alzheimer's disease were enrolled in this study in one of the 2 groups: Group 1 and Group 2 to receive aducanumab titrated up to 10 mg/kg. The groups differed in the protocol specified management rules for amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), in the event that moderate or severe asymptomatic ARIA was detected on MRI.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: up to Week 54

Population: Clinically Impactful ARIA was to be assessed by an independent Adjudication Committee. At the time the study was terminated, the Adjudication Committee had not been formed; therefore, this outcome measure was not evaluated due to lack of data.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to Week 54

Population: The safety population is defined as all randomized participants who had received at least one dose of aducanumab.

ARIA by severity was obtained on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death, in the view of the Investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event), however, this does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is a medically important event.
