Introduction: Aducanumab selectively targets aggregated forms of amyloid beta (Aβ), a neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Methods: PRIME was a Phase 1b, double-blind, randomized clinical trial of aducanumab. During the 12-month placebo-controlled period, participants with prodromal AD or mild AD dementia were randomized to receive aducanumab or placebo.
The origin of high-energy cosmic rays, atomic nuclei that continuously impact Earth's atmosphere, is unknown. Because of deflection by interstellar magnetic fields, cosmic rays produced within the Milky Way arrive at Earth from random directions. However, cosmic rays interact with matter near their sources and during propagation, which produces high-energy neutrinos.

Objectives: Efficacy and safety results from the EMERGE (NCT02484547) and ENGAGE (NCT02477800) phase 3 studies of aducanumab in early Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been published. In EMERGE, but not in ENGAGE, high-dose aducanumab demonstrated significant treatment effects across primary and secondary endpoints. Low-dose aducanumab results were consistent across studies with non-significant differences versus placebo that were intermediate to the high-dose arm in EMERGE.
