Background: Incorporation of the patient voice into drug development has been recognized as fundamental; recent legislation has addressed the importance of collecting patient experience data. Qualitative patient interviews conducted in tandem with clinical trials, often in later phases, are among the most common means of eliciting these data. To assess aspects of patient experience earlier in development, we conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews following participation in the phase 1 ACU-001 (INTERCEPT-AD) trial, a study evaluating the safety and tolerability of the Aβ oligomer-targeting monoclonal antibody ACU193, among a subset of participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) and their study partners.

Background: Self-administered cognitive assessments demonstrate usability and ability to detect cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease, but usability in other neurodegenerative diseases is understudied. We investigated whether Mayo Test Drive (MTD), a self-administered multi-device compatible cognitive assessment platform, demonstrates usability and correlation with traditional neuropsychological tests in a pilot study of individuals with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
Method: Eleven individuals with PSP (mean age = 69.
