Longitudinal clinical outcomes after amyloid clearance in aducanumab phase 3 studies
By Pang M, Brothers HM, O'Gorman J and 6 others.
Abstract
Introduction
Anti-amyloid antibody clinical trials with a high proportion of participants reaching treatment-related amyloid clearance (TRAC) had positive clinical outcomes. We evaluated the aducanumab phase 3 program to determine whether TRAC during the double-blind period was likewise associated with clinical benefit.
Methods
We pooled ENGAGE and EMERGE (E/E) aducanumab-treated participants in the amyloid positron emission tomography substudy who continued into the long-term extension ≤ 134 weeks (continuously treated population) and/or returned to the EMBARK redosing study 0.7 to 2.5 years after termination of E/E (treatment gap population). Clinical outcomes were stratified by week 78 TRAC status.
