Background: The well-accepted statistical efficacy inference approach for Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials compares the absolute difference in change from baseline at the last study visit using MMRM (henceforth referred to as MMRM-Last-Visit). Recent AD clinical trials have shown that treatment effects may be manifested prior to 18 months. The objective is to evaluate models estimating an overall treatment effect across all post-baseline visits that may characterize disease modifying effects in contemporary early AD clinical trials.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The advent of disease-modifying therapies in Alzheimer's disease (AD) necessitates a nuanced understanding of how therapies impact disease processes. Over the past decades, AD clinical trials have primarily relied on classical statistical analysis methodology such as the mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) to estimate treatment effects. These conventional treatment effect quantifications are given as group differences in clinical outcome measures at a single visit.

SORL1 encodes an endosomal trafficking receptor, SORLA, which regulates endosomal protein recycling through its interaction with the retromer core complex (consisting of VPS26, VPS35 and VPS29). Deficits in the levels and function of the SORLA-retromer complex are thought to underlie AD.

AXS-05 (45-mg dextromethorphan/105-mg bupropion), a novel, oral NMDA receptor antagonist and sigma-1 receptor agonist, approved by the FDA for major depressive disorder, is being investigated for treatment of AD agitation (ADA). AXS-05 has been evaluated in 2 randomized, double-blind studies: Phase 2 ADVANCE-1 (NCT03226522); Phase 3 ACCORD (NCT04797715).
