Abstract

Reliable progression models are essential for clinical decision-making and trial design in Parkinson’s disease. We discuss linear, exponential, and sigmoidal patterns in PET and SPECT data, emphasizing the mismatch between biomarker and clinical trajectories. We propose more adaptable modeling strategies to improve patient stratification, support trial outcomes, and align imaging biomarkers with real-world disease complexity.

平衡帕金森病进展的神经成像模型的实用性和复杂性

可靠的进展模型对于帕金森病的临床决策和试验设计至关重要。我们讨论了PET和SPECT数据中的线性、指数和s形模式，强调了生物标志物和临床轨迹之间的不匹配。我们提出了更具适应性的建模策略，以改善患者分层，支持试验结果，并将成像生物标志物与现实世界的疾病复杂性相结合。
