Notes: Columns reflect patient aducanumab dose assignment while on active treatment. The treatment assignment of 1to 3 mg/kg represents an assignment to 1 mg/kg in the PC period and 3 mg/kg in the LTE.

Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; APOE ε4, apolipoprotein E ε4; ARIA, amyloid‐related imaging abnormalities; LTE, long‐term extension; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; PC, placebo controlled; SAE, serious adverse event; SD, standard deviation.
