An an excellent opportunity to hear from a renowned cognition expert and gain a better understanding on the selection and successful integration of cognitive testing into therapeutic development programmes.
Cognitive assessment has long been a key efficacy measure in clinical trials of indications such as Alzheimer’s disease. In the past few years, the use of cognitive efficacy measures has been extended to indications including Schizophrenia, Depression and Lewy body Dementias. The use of cognitive assessment has also been extended to the assessment of safety, especially in cardiology.
Cognitive assessment has been employed with variable success and a hallmark of failed examples has been the use of tests with poor reliability, validity and sensitivity. In this webinar we will review examples of both successful and failed case studies. We will conclude with recommendations for cognitive test selection and its successful integration into clinical drug trials.
