Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
A45 Trial: Change From Baseline in Preclinical Alzheimer Cognitive Composite 5 (PACC5) Score at Week 216
Baseline, Week 216

PACC5(5 components):Free/cued selective reminding test:number of words recalled without cuing/with cuing(0\[worst\]-96\[best recall\]);Delayed Paragraph Recall test: recall of 1 short story(25 bits information),immediately after reading and again after delay of 30 minutes (0\[worst\]-25\[best recall\]);Digit-symbol substitution test: Participant uses a key to fill in blank squares as fast as possible in 90 seconds(0\[none\]-91\[best performance\]);Mini Mental State Score:to evaluate orientation,memory,attention,concentration,naming,repetition,comprehension and ability to create sentence,to copy 2 overlapping pentagons, scored as number of correctly completed items(0\[worse\]-30\[perfect performance\]);Category fluency task: participants generate words in 60 second belonging to a semantic category(total score:number of appropriate words generated per task, higher values indicate better performance).

A3 Trial: Change From Baseline in Amyloid Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Standard Uptake Value Ratio (SUVr) at Week 216
Baseline, Week 216
Core Study: Change from Baseline in the CDR-SB at 18 Months
Baseline, 18 months
Extension Phase: Number of Participants Reporting One or More Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From first dose of study drug up to approximately 51 months (including 3 months follow up) for the extension phase

A TEAE is defined as an adverse event (AE) that emerges during treatment or within 30 days of the last dose of study drug, having been absent at pretreatment (Baseline) or reemerges during treatment, having been present at pretreatment (Baseline) but stopped before treatment, or worsens in severity during treatment relative to the pretreatment state, when the adverse event was continuous. Number of participants with TEAEs (serious and non-serious adverse events) will be reported based on their regular measurement of vital signs, safety assessments of laboratory tests, antidrug antibody assessments, suicidality assessments, magnetic resonance imaging and electrocardiogram parameter values.

Extension Phase: Change from Core Study Baseline in CDR-SB
Baseline up to Month 66
Extension Phase Part B: Number of Participants Exposed to Lecanemab
From 48th month in extension phase part A to the end of extension phase part B (up to 24 months)
Secondary Endpoints
A45 Trial: Change From Baseline in Amyloid Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Standard Uptake Value Ratio (SUVr) at Weeks 96 and 216
Baseline, Week 96, Week 216
A45 Trial: Change From Baseline in tau Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Standard Uptake Value Ratio (SUVr) at Weeks 96 and 216
Baseline, Week 96, Week 216
A45 Trial: Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function Index (CFI) at Week 216
Baseline, Week 216

A45 Trial: Placebo (Core Study)PLACEBO_COMPARATORParticipants will receive placebo (0.9 percent \[%\] sodium chloride solution), administered as IV infusion, every two weeks from Week 0 to 94, then every four weeks from Week 96 to 216.
A3 Trial: Lecanemab 5 mg/kg + 10 mg/kg (Core Study)EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive lecanemab 5 mg/kg, administered as IV infusion, every four weeks from Week 0 to 4, then 10 mg/kg, administered as IV infusion, every four weeks from Week 8 to 216 in core study.
A3 Trial: Placebo (Core Study)PLACEBO_COMPARATORParticipants will receive placebo (0.9% sodium chloride solution), administered as IV infusion, every four weeks from Week 0 to 216.
A3 and A45 Trial: Lecanemab 10 mg/kg (Extension Phase)EXPERIMENTALParticipants (from either A3 or A45 Trial) progressing to early Alzheimer's disease (EAD) during the core study (progressors) will receive lecanemab 10 mg/kg, administered as IV infusion, every two weeks after transition to the extension phase for at least 216 weeks from randomization in the core study. Participants completing the core study (completers) will enter extension phase and will receive lecanemab 5 mg/kg for initial 4 doses, than 10 mg/kg, administered as IV infusion, every two weeks for up to 96 weeks in extension phase.
