A Single-Center, Randomized, Adaptive, Investigator/Subject Blind, Single Ascending Dose, Placebo-Controlled Phase I Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Immunogenicity and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenously Administered RO7126209 in Healthy Participants

Study BP41192 is a randomized, adaptive, placebo-controlled parallel group study to investigate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and pharmacokinetics of single-ascending intravenous (IV) doses of RO7126209 in healthy participants. RO7126209 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Alzheimers Disease
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Placebo; Drug: RO7126209

Detailed Description

This study uses a parallel group design, with participants recruited in 5 planned sequential cohorts. Additional cohort(s) may be added if dose escalation stopping criteria are not met after cohort 5. Participants will receive a single IV dose of either RO7126209 or placebo. RO7126209 doses will be administered in ascending order. After the starting dose, subsequent doses will be selected in an adaptive manner during study conduct based on emerging safety, tolerability and PK data.

• History of hypersensitivity to biologic agents or any of the excipients in the formulation.

• Prior administration of gantenerumab (RO4909832)
• Any vaccination within two months prior to Day 1
• Participation in an investigational drug medicinal product or medical device study within 30 days before screening or within seven times the elimination half-life if known, whichever is longer.
• Participants who regularly smoke more than 5 cigarettes daily or equivalent and are unable or unwilling not to smoke during the in-house period.
• Donation or loss of blood over 500 mL within three months prior to Day 1 and donation of blood for the duration of the study until follow-up.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)	An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An Adverse Event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including abnormal laboratory values or abnormal clinical test results), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as Adverse Events.	Up to approximately 9 weeks
