Gantenerumab is a monoclonal antibody for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease being developed by Hoffmann-La Roche pharmaceuticals.[1][2]

Gantenerumab binds to and clears aggregated beta amyloid fibers.[3]

A phase III clinical trial of gantenerumab was stopped early because of a lack of efficacy.[4] Gantenerumab was also evaluated in younger patients at high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease[5] but after five years of treatment, the drug did little to slow cognitive decline in patients.[6]
