Comparison of the stable class of each arm within the simulated dataset revealed a significant difference in treatment efficacy favoring the simulated stable treatment arm.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This post hoc exploratory analysis suggests that prespecified strategies for addressing unobserved heterogeneity may yield improved effect detection in AD trials. The generalizability of the analytic strategy is limited by latent stratification in only the treatment arm, a requirement given the small placebo arm in AMBAR. This limitation was partially addressed by the simulation modeling.</p>","PeriodicalId":94309,"journal":{"name":"Current Alzheimer research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142335702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
