Abstract

Gantenerumab is intended for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. It is a fully human recombinant monoclonal IgG1 which binds aggregated forms of amyloid beta such as Aβ oligomers, fibrils and neuritic amyloid plaques. A full package of developmental and reproductive toxicity (DART) studies was performed in the PS2APP double-transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. A combined fertility and embryo fetal development study and a pre-and post-natal development study were performed. The PS2APP mouse model allowed a more complete DART evaluation than would have been possible in conventional species or strains which do not express the target antigen of gantenerumab. No developmental or reproductive hazards were identified.
