The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term administration of gantenerumab in participants with AD. All participants who have completed the open-label extensions (OLEs) of studies WN25203 or WN28745 were enrolled in Part 1 of this study. Of these, participants who completed Week 104 visit in Part 1. Participants received open-label gantenerumab by subcutaneous (SC) injection every four weeks (Q4W) at the same dose as administered in the parent studies (part 1)/ Week 104 visit.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with gantenerumab and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with gantenerumab. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any significant hazard, contraindication, side effect that is fatal or life threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is medically significant or requires intervention to prevent one or other of the outcomes listed above, and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with gantenerumab.
Time frame: Baseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)
Number of Participants With Change in Any Suicidal Ideation or Behavior as Assessed by Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
C-SSRS=assessment tool used to assess lifetime suicidality of a participant (at baseline) as well as any new instances of suicidality (C-SSRS since last visit). Structured interview prompts recollection of suicidal ideation, including intensity of ideation, behavior, \& attempts with actual/potential lethality. Categories have binary responses (yes/no) \& include Wish to be Dead; Non-specific Active Suicidal Thoughts; Active Suicidal Ideation with Any Methods (Not Plan) without Intent to Act; Active Suicidal Ideation with Some Intent to Act, without Specific Plan; Active Suicidal Ideation with Specific Plan and Intent, Preparatory Acts and Behavior; Aborted Attempt; Interrupted Attempt; Actual Attempt (non-fatal); Completed Suicide. Suicidal ideation/behavior is indicated by a "yes" answer to any of the listed categories. Score of 0= no suicide risk present. Score of 1 or higher= suicidal ideation/behavior. Number of participants with any suicidal ideation/behavior were reported.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1), up to Week 104
Number of Participants With Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities-Edema (ARIA-E) AEs
Time frame: Baseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)
Number of Participants With Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities-Haemosiderin Deposition (ARIA-H) AEs
Time frame: Baseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)
Number of Participants With Anti-drug Antibody (ADA) to Gantenerumab
Time frame: Up to Week 133
Number of Participants With Injection-Site Reactions
Time frame: Baseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)
Number of Participants Who Discontinued Treatment Due to AEs
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with gantenerumab and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with gantenerumab. SAE is any significant hazard, contraindication, side effect that is fatal or life threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is medically significant or requires intervention to prevent one or other of the outcomes listed above, and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with gantenerumab.
Time frame: Baseline [Day 1] up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Up to Week 133)
