Re: halting Phase III trials of aducanumab
I wonder if there is any data comparing the results for the Apoe4 and the non-carriers. I can't find any so far. Based on the Biogen website, 2/3 of participants were Apoe4 carriers.

I lowered the threshold by 30 min after I read a study by FitBit, https://blog.fitbit.com/sleep-study/ , the takeaway is that for women age > 55 average sleep time is around 6.5 hours. The...
