Abstract:

Drug development for patients in early stages of the Alzheimer disease presents many challenges including quantification of detrimental progression when using cognitive and functional scales. There seemed to be a consensus that a longer subject follow-up improves power to detect a treatment effect in terms of slowing the progression relative to placebo. A common-close type study results in a variable subject follow-up, as the study ends when the last randomized subject is observed for a given period. Alternatives analyses to the conventional method based on the mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) were evaluated in this case study including the polynomial regression and Bayesian semi-parametric model proposed by Wang et al (2018) applied at interim and final analyses.
