Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparison of the IMAGINE study PiB results with the reported PiB results of the bapineuzumab trial , , and the florbetapir results from the aducanumab trial . To allow comparison between the different Aβ tracers, florbetapir SUVR WCb are expressed in PiB Cb -like units called BeCKeTs . A striking difference between the IMAGINE and the bapineuzumab and aducanumab trials is the Aβ burden at baseline. Overall, IMAGINE participants not only had significantly higher baseline Aβ burden, these baseline values were at levels for which we have demonstrated the rates of Aβ accumulation slow , making it difficult to discriminate between a potential drug effect that slows Aβ accumulation and the natural slowing that occurs at those SUVR levels. These comparisons highlight the importance of not only establishing a SUVR floor, but also the need of establishing a SUVR ceiling to ensure all participants are accumulating Aβ at a similar rate.
