Abstract:

The Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) is the most commonly used approach for assessing treatment effects in Alzheimer’s clinical trials. An alternative nonlinear Disease Progression Model (DPM) which assumes the ratio of group means is fixed over time has been proposed for Autosomal Dominant Alzheimer's clinical trials. We compare, with analysis on related natural history data, and with simulations, nonlinear and alternative linear mean structures and various correlation structures for assessing treatment effects in Preclinical Alzheimer’s clinical trials.
