Eligibility rates were higher among internal (from our institution) referrals compared with external referrals (63% [146 of 232] vs 37% [86 of 232). Reasons for treatment ineligibility were typically multiple but commonly included magnetic resonance imaging features, too severe cognitive/functional impairment, and general health conditions believed likely to increase therapeutic risks. In some cases, the ADTC evaluation uniquely identified treatment risk factors, such as cerebral amyloid angiopathy, that had not been previously discussed with patients. Through shared decision making, approximately 30% of eligible patients (25 of 81) ultimately deferred antiamyloid therapy. In addition, approximately 10% of patients evaluated in the ADTC were amyloid-negative by positron emission tomography, suggesting non–Alzheimer disease diagnoses for their presentations.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The ADTC facilitated systematic implementation of antiamyloid therapies for early Alzheimer disease and provided a scalable foundation for integrating future approved treatment options.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18334,"journal":{"name":"Mayo Clinic proceedings","volume":"101 9","pages":"Pages 1497-1511"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146030354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
