Active Trial/Not Recruiting

Purpose

The Biogen EMBARK study is a Phase 3 study evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of aducanumab (Aduhelm) after a wash-out period imposed by discontinuation of earlier studies. This study enrolled participants who had previously received aducanumab (i.e. previously treated participants) or who had previously received placebo (i.e. treatment-naïve participants). This study is not recruiting new participants at this time. During the study, participants will receive the study drug, aducanumab (Aduhelm) at a dose of 10mg/kg by intravenous infusions every four weeks for a total duration of 100 weeks. Study visits consist of regular safety tests and cognitive assessments throughout the study. At the end of the study, there is a follow-up period which involves returning to the study center approximately 2 weeks after a participant’s last dose of aducanumab for clinical assessments. Participants will also return to the study center for a safety follow-up visit about 18 weeks (about 4 months) after their last dose of the study drug.
