The relative efficiency of time‐to‐progression and continuous measures of cognition in presymptomatic Alzheimer's disease

Abstract

Clinical trials on preclinical Alzheimer's disease are challenging because of the slow rate of disease progression. We use a simulation study to demonstrate that models of repeated cognitive assessments detect treatment effects more efficiently than models of time to progression.
