## Eligibility (CTIS)

- **Minimum age:** 18 Years
- **Sex:** ALL

```
Condition: Early Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD); Parkinson's disease
Age groups: elderly 65+, adults 18-64
Sex: male, female
Includes a vulnerable population.

Period: Part 1
During Part 1 of the study, participants will receive IV infusions of RO7046015 or placebo
once every four weeks (Q4W) over a period of 52 weeks.
Participants will be randomized with a 1:1:1 allocation ratio to placebo, or one of the two active
treatment doses: high dose (4500 mg for body weight  65 kg; 3500 mg for body
weight  65 kg), low dose (1500 mg; for all body weights).
Randomization will be stratified by sex, age group and existence or lack of prior background
therapy (untreated or treated with stable MAO-B inhibitor therapy at baseline).
Participants are expected not to start dopaminergic therapy (levodopa or dopamine agonist) or
other symptomatic PD therapy during the 52-week double-blind placebo-controlled period.
Some participants may experience worsening of their symptoms to an extent that they are
unable to tolerate in their personal or professional life. These participants may start
dopaminergic or symptomatic PD treatment according to local guidelines after completing the
assessments at the “prior to start of dopaminergic or symptomatic PD treatment” visit
according to the schedule of assessments and the Investigator must record the reasons and
the type and dose of dopaminergic or symptomatic PD treatment started.
For the main analysis of the primary endpoint and other efficacy endpoints that are sensitive to
dopaminergic treatment (such as MDS-UPDRS part III, PGIC, CGI-I), only data up to the last
measurement before start of symptomatic PD treatment will be used. Data after start of
symptomatic PD treatment will be included in safety, sensitivity, exploratory and biomarker
evaluations as appropriate.
All participants, including those that have started symptomatic PD treatment, will be eligible to
participate in Part 2 if they have completed Part 1 with the predefined minimum of infusions
and assessments as defined below.

Period: Part 2
Part 2 is a one-year all-participants-on-treatment, blinded to dose extension.
Participants must meet the following criteria to enter Part 2: DaT-SPECT and magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) scans completed at Screening and Week 52 and received at least
10 doses of study treatment (RO7046015 or Placebo) during Part 1 of the study. Participants
may initiate or change symptomatic PD treatment (including dopaminergic treatment) as per
standard of care (SOC) during Part 2.
For Part 2, participants who complete the initial placebo-controlled part and fulfil the criteria
mentioned above will switch into the extension:

RO7046015/prasinezumab —F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd
16/Protocol BP39529, Version 7
 Participants initially randomized to placebo will be re-randomized to one of the two active
doses using a 1:1 allocation ratio.
Randomization will be stratified by: dopaminergic therapy since start of the study (Yes
versus No), age group ( 60 versus  60) and prior background therapy with MAO-B
inhibitor (Yes versus No). Note that for age group and prior background therapy with
MAO-B inhibitor the values collected for Part 1 will be used.
 Participants initially randomized to the active dose will remain on their dose.

Period: Part 3
Part 3 is a 5-year open-label extension in which all participants will receive the same
RO7046015 dose of 1500 mg (for all body weights) Q4W.
Participants must meet the following criteria to enter Part 3:
 Having completed Part 2 (i.e., completed Week 104 visit plus the 12-week treatment free
follow-up). Note: Participants will still be eligible to enroll in part 3 if they missed
assessments or visits due to COVID-19 related restrictions but they completed 12-week
Treatment-Free Follow-Up Visit (12-week treatment-free follow-up can be completed
remotely if not possible in person).
 Participants may initiate or change symptomatic PD treatment (including dopaminergic
treatment) as per standard of care during Part 3.
 Not having received another investigational medication during the treatment free period
(i.e., between Week 104 visit and Part 3 Week 1 visit).
 Participation in Part 3 not deemed inappropriate by the Investigator (e.g., patient with
serious medical condition or other concerns that preclude their safe participation in Part 3
or their ability to comply with the required procedures should not be enrolled).
