Drug Overview
Gantenerumab (Roche/MorphoSys) is a fully humanized centrally and N-acting monoclonal antibody that primarily targets fibrillar amyloid-beta. It acts by preventing amyloid-beta plaque formation, promoting microglia-mediated clearance. This binding and clearance is essential as amyloid-beta accumulation is a hallmark feature of Alzheimer’s disease.
Gantenerumab is currently in Phase III development for the treatment of mild Alzheimer’s disease and for individuals prone to developing Alzheimer’s disease due to the presence of a genetic mutation (Biomedtracker, 2015; Medtrack, 2015). In December 2014, SCarlet RoAD, a Phase III study evaluating gantenerumab in prodromal patients, was discontinued.
Analyst Outlook
Despite gantenerumab’s (Roche/MorphoSys) failure to demonstrate clinical efficacy in prodromal Alzheimer’s disease, a study examining efficacy in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease (Marguerite RoAD) is ongoing. While Roche remains confident in gantenerumab’s disease-modifying potential, Datamonitor Healthcare’s expectations for the Marguerite RoAD trial are dim unless changes in the dosing regimen can be applied to influence clinical outcomes.
