    49% improved, while 42% got worse. Not sure how successful I’d call that

      Worse than some control group baseline or worse than they were doing before the trial? Cause with progressive diseases that distinction matters

        Yeah this matters a lot as basically everyone with Alzheimer's is going to get worse.

      Worth noting that without treatment, 0% would improve, and things would be split fairly evenly between worse and stable. It's not about whether this is better than being a healthy person without Alzheimer's, it's about being better than an untreated person with Alzheimer's. It's a step in the right direction.
