Two‐period linear mixed effects models to analyze clinical trials with run‐in data when the primary outcome is continuous: Applications to Alzheimer's disease by Guoqiao Wang, Andrew J. Aschenbrenner, Yan Li, Eric McDade, Lei Liu, Tammie L.S. Benzinger, Randall J. Bateman, John C. Morris, Jason J. Hassenstab, Chengjie Xiong

“…Discussion Given that analysis of run‐in data using the two‐period linear mixed effects models allows more participants (unequal randomization) to be on the active treatment with similar power to that of the equal‐randomization trials, it may reduce the dropout by assigning more participants to the active treatment and thus improve the efficiency of AD clinical trials.…”
