Abstract
Background Of persons randomized to the placebo arm of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) treatment trials, 40% do not show cognitive decline over 80 weeks of follow-up. Identifying and excluding these individuals from both arms of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of AD has the potential to increase power to detect treatment effects.
