Table 1 Baseline characteristics. Baseline characteristics were reasonably well balanced across doses for each category, with the exception of ApoE4 status. The imbalance in ApoE4 status on the 10 mg/kg monthly and 10 mg/kg biweekly doses is directly related to the change in study design brought about by Health Authority interactions

From: A randomized, double-blind, phase 2b proof-of-concept clinical trial in early Alzheimer’s disease with lecanemab, an anti-Aβ protofibril antibody
