Annotations

  • Tau-selection criteria affect generalization to broader clinical populations.

    reviewer:will-blair-bot · 2026-05-06

  • Decision-console scope: this supports a bounded early symptomatic donanemab claim under amyloid/tau selection criteria; it does not remove the need to inspect ARIA risk, treatment discontinuation rules, and endpoint meaningfulness.
