The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of JNJ-54861911 in participants in the early Alzheimer's disease (AD \[progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually even the ability to carry out the simplest tasks\]) spectrum that have completed a Phase 1b or Phase 2 clinical trial with JNJ-54861911, who are willing to continue their assigned treatment.
Participants in the early Alzheimer's Disease (AD) spectrum, enrolled in ongoing or future clinical trials with JNJ-54861911 (Phase 1b or Phase 2 studies) will be provided the opportunity to participate in this study upon completion of their treatment period under the parent protocol. The study will consist of a Screening phase and 2 sequential treatment phases (a 12-month double-blind \[DB\] treatment phase \[placebo controlled\] and an open-label \[OL\] phase \[active\]) followed by an End-of-Treatment visit. Treatment in OL phase will continue until registration of JNJ-54861911; unless safety issues emerge as determined by the Data Review Committee (DRC) that would warrant termination of the study. Blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples will be collected to evaluate the plasma and CSF pharmacokinetics of JNJ-54861911, as well as amyloid beta fragments. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. TEAEs were events between administration of study drug and up to 3 years that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. An serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.
Time frame: Up to 3 years
Double-blind Treatment Phase (Period 1): Percent Change From Baseline in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Amyloid Beta (ABeta) (1-37, 1-38, 1-40, 1-42) Levels
CSF samples were obtained for measuring levels of different ABeta fragments such as ABeta 1-37, ABeta 1-38, ABeta 1-40, and ABeta 1-42. ABeta fragments of different length produced by cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by beta-secretase (BACE) and gamma-secretase complex in brain and excreted into CSF. Participants were classified as asymptomatic at risk: cognitively and functionally normal (Clinical Dementia Rating Scale score \[CDR\] =0), but with biomarker pattern consistent with early stage AD (preclinical stage); and prodromal: had some limited cognitive impairment (CDR =0.5), and still functionally normal, with biomarker pattern consistent with early stage (predementia) AD, but had as of yet no dementia (predementia stage). Here, 'Number analyzed=0' signifies that either CSF concentration was below lower limit of quantification for assay or sample was collected under parent study 54861911ALZ2002 (NCT02260674).
Time frame: Baseline, Double-blind (DB) Day 1 and DB Week 52
Double-blind Treatment Phase (Period 1): Percent Change From Baseline in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Soluble Amyloid Precursor Protein (sAPP) Fragments (sAPP-alpha and sAPP-beta) Levels
The CSF samples were obtained for measuring levels of different soluble amyloid precursor protein (sAPP) fragments (sAPP-alpha, sAPP-beta). Participants were classified as asymptomatic at risk: cognitively and functionally normal (CDR score =0), but with biomarker pattern consistent with early stage alzheimer's disease (AD) (preclinical stage); and prodromal: had some limited cognitive impairment (CDR =0.5), and still functionally normal, with biomarker pattern consistent with early stage (predementia) AD, but had as of yet no dementia (predementia stage). Here, 'Number analyzed=0' signifies that either CSF concentration was below lower limit of quantification for assay or sample was collected under parent study 54861911ALZ2002 (NCT02260674).

Double-blind Treatment Phase (Period 1): Percent Change From Baseline in Plasma Amyloid Beta (ABeta) (1-38, 1-40, 1-42) Levels
Plasma samples were obtained for measuring levels of different ABeta fragments such as ABeta 1-38, ABeta 1-40, ABeta 1-42. ABeta fragments of different length were produced by cleavage of APP by beta-secretase (BACE) and gamma-secretase complex in different peripheral tissues, including white blood cells and were measured in plasma. Participants classified as asymptomatic at risk: cognitively and functionally normal (CDR score =0), but with biomarker pattern consistent with early stage AD (preclinical stage); and prodromal: had some limited cognitive impairment (CDR =0.5), and still functionally normal, with biomarker pattern consistent with early stage (predementia) AD, but had as of yet no dementia (predementia stage). Here, 'Number analyzed=0' signifies that either CSF concentration was below lower limit of quantification for assay or sample was collected under parent study 54861911ALZ2002 (NCT02260674).
Time frame: Baseline, DB Day 1, DB Week 24, and DB Week 52
Double-blind Treatment Phase (Period 1): Percent Change From Baseline in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Tau Protein and Phosphorylated Tau (p-Tau) Protein Level
The CSF samples were obtained for measuring levels of Tau protein and phosphorylated (p)-tau protein. Participants were classified as asymptomatic at risk: cognitively and functionally normal (CDR score =0), but with biomarker pattern consistent with early stage AD (preclinical stage); and prodromal: had some limited cognitive impairment (CDR =0.5), and still functionally normal, with biomarker pattern consistent with early stage (predementia) AD, but had as of yet no dementia (predementia stage). Here, 'Number analyzed=0' signifies that either CSF concentration was below lower limit of quantification for assay or sample was collected under parent study 54861911ALZ2002 (NCT02260674).
