Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Patients with Alzheimer’s disease or Alzheimer’s-related dementia who may participate in related studies could benefit from improved trial design and data quality.
✕Less likely to help
Direct patient benefit may be limited to those enrolled in related trials; this core itself does not enroll patients.
What this research studies
This grant funds a Biostatistics Core that will oversee data quality control and statistical analyses for the HABS-HD U19 program focused on Alzheimer’s disease. The team will produce reports for safety monitoring and ensure rigorous data management across multiple sites. Led by experienced biostatisticians, the core brings advanced methods for study design, missing data, longitudinal analysis, and complex modeling. The goal is to provide robust, trustworthy results that can support future therapeutic development for Alzheimer’s-related conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Stronger, more reliable study findings that can accelerate the development of effective treatments for Alzheimer’s disease.
How similar studies have gone: Previous biostatistics cores have improved data integrity and analysis quality in multi-site dementia trials.
