Brief Summary
The purpose of this randomized, open-label, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study is to assess pain following subcutaneous (SC) administration of gantenerumab as a high-concentration liquid formulation (HCLF) at different injection speeds. The total duration of the study for each healthy participant will be up to approximately 21 weeks.

Study Arms (1)
Gantenerumab + Placebo
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will be randomized to receive gantenerumab HCLF and placebo solution via SC injection according to different sequences for the site of administration and different injection speeds.
Interventions
Gantenerumab as a HCLF will be administered via SC injection according to assigned treatment sequence.
Gantenerumab Placebo solution will be administered via SC injection according to assigned treatment sequence.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Healthy male and female participants (healthy status is defined by the absence of evidence of any active or chronic disease following a detailed medical and surgical history, a complete physical examination including vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram, hematology, blood chemistry, coagulation, serology, and urinalysis)
- Body mass index between 18.0 and 30.0 kilograms per meter squared (kg/m\^2), inclusive
- Female participants of childbearing potential must commit to use two acceptable forms of contraception during the study and until at least 6 months after the follow-up visit
You may not qualify if:
- History of any clinically significant gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, broncho-pulmonary, neurological, psychiatric, cardiovascular, endocrinological, hematological or allergic disease, metabolic disorder, cancer, or cirrhosis
- History or suspicion of drugs of abuse or alcohol addiction
- Smokers who smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day or equivalent amount of tobacco as determined by history
- Pregnant or lactating women
- Positive result on hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 and -2
- Any familial history of early onset Alzheimer's disease
- Prior administration of gantenerumab
- Participation in an investigational drug medicinal product or medical device study within 90 days before dosing or within seven times the elimination half-life, whichever is longer
- Any abnormal skin conditions or potentially obscuring tattoos, pigmentation, or lesions in the area intended for SC injection
