Lecanemab in Early Alzheimer's Disease

Christopher H. van Dyck et al.

Summary: Lecanemab, a humanized monoclonal antibody, reduced amyloid markers and showed improvement in cognition and function in early Alzheimer's disease patients. However, it also resulted in adverse events. Longer trials are needed to determine its efficacy and safety in early Alzheimer's disease.

A systematic review of methods used to conduct decentralised clinical trials

Amy Rogers et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the design and conduct of decentralised clinical trials using quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative analysis included 45 randomised clinical trials, with the primary outcome being the number of randomised participants. The qualitative analysis included 117 documents discussing or evaluating decentralised clinical trials. The results showed heterogeneity in the design and reporting of trials, and insufficient evidence to support the effectiveness of DCT methods in trial recruitment. The qualitative analysis identified four themes: value, burden, safety and equity. Further research on participant and stakeholder experiences of DCTs is recommended to maximize potential benefits.

Recruitment for Remote Decentralized Studies in Parkinson's Disease

Taylor L. Myers et al.

Summary: Recruitment of large, geographically dispersed remote cohorts through video visits is feasible. Interest in participation in future remote decentralized PD studies is high, but more efforts are needed to attract diverse participants.

Diagnostic test accuracy of remote, multidomain cognitive assessment (telephone and video call) for dementia

Lucy C. Beishon et al.

Summary: The diagnostic accuracy of remote cognitive assessments, such as telephone and video-based screening, is still unclear. There is a need for more research to determine the accuracy of these assessments and to understand the differences between remote and face-to-face tests. The available data do not allow for a preferred test to be recommended.

ATRI EDC: a novel cloud-native remote data capture system for large multicenter Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias clinical trials

Gustavo A. Jimenez-Maggiora et al.

Summary: The Alzheimer's Therapeutic Research Institute (ATRI) has developed a novel clinical data management system to address the complex requirements of multicenter clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRDs). The system offers a variety of modular capabilities, supports study-specific configuration, and facilitates effective communication and collaboration among study teams.

Summary: Aducanumab showed significant changes in early Alzheimer's disease patients in one trial, but did not meet primary or secondary endpoints in another study. Both trials demonstrated a dose- and time-dependent reduction in pathophysiological markers of Alzheimer's disease.

Disparities by Race and Ethnicity Among Adults Recruited for a Preclinical Alzheimer Disease Trial

Rema Raman et al.

Summary: Racial/ethnic groups showed differences in recruitment sources, reasons for screen failure, and overall probability of eligibility in a preclinical AD trial. These results emphasize the necessity for improved recruitment strategies and careful consideration of eligibility criteria in planning preclinical AD clinical trials.
