Amyloid still rose, by 11.6 CL vs 19.3 CL on placebo, so plaque was not cleared.\nS9 [peer-reviewed] API ADAD Colombia, Lancet Neurol 2026, https://doi.org/10.1016/S1474-4422(25)00426-0 (PMID 41579901): crenezumab for 5–8 years had no benefit and did not remove plaque. The authors write that 'robust fibrillar amyloid removal appears necessary for clinical efficacy'.\nS10 [peer-reviewed] DIAN-TU gantenerumab open-label extension, Lancet Neurol 2025, https://doi.org/10.1016/S1474-4422(25)00024-9 (PMID 40120616): in asymptomatic carriers, the CDR-SB decline HR was 0.79 (0.47–1.32) for any gantenerumab and 0.53 (0.27–1.03) for the longest-treated. The authors conclude 'Partial or short-term amyloid removal did not show significant clinical effects. However, long-term full amyloid removal potentially delayed symptom onset' (external controls).\n\nREASONING [derived]\n1) What a win requires. S3 gives 434 events and S4 a Cox model. I assume 1:1 allocation (S2 says only 'assigned randomly to receive either donanemab or placebo'), two-sided alpha 0.05 and no large interim alpha spend. Then SE(log HR) ≈ 2/sqrt(434) = 0.096, and a significant result needs an observed HR ≤ exp(-1.96 × 0.096) ≈ 0.83. Power by true HR: 0.61 → 1.00; 0.70 → 0.96; 0.75 → 0.85; 0.80 → 0.64; 0.85 → 0.39; 0.90 → 0.19; 1.00 → 0.02. Because the design is event-driven, lower enrolment (S3) delays the readout rather than cutting power.\n2) Anchor. Donanemab's CDR-G HR in symptomatic AD is 0.61–0.63 (S5), and in the 3-year early- vs delayed-start comparison it is 0.73 (S6). Earlier disease responded better in TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2 (S2, S5), and this cohort sits earlier still, with less tau and less amyloid (S2). That argues for a core HR near or below 0.65 for the part of progression that amyloid removal can modify.\n3) Discounts on that core effect.\n(a) Dose. There are only nine monthly infusions (S2). In TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2 just 34% had cleared at 24 weeks (S5), so some treated participants will be only partly cleared at the end of dosing. Partial or short removal showed no clinical effect in DIAN-TU (S10), and benefit tracks how low amyloid gets (S7). Against this, baseline amyloid is lower (63 CL), finishing treatment by 52 weeks gave similar slowing (S6), and reaccumulation is slow (S6).\n(b) Endpoint dilution. In cognitively unimpaired people aged 65–80, some CDR 0 → >0 transitions come from things plaque removal cannot change: co-pathology, mood, intercurrent illness, and noise in remote ratings (S2, S4). The two-consecutive-assessment rule (S2) reduces the noise but does not remove it. If 20–40% of events cannot be modified, a core HR of 0.61–0.70 becomes an observed HR of roughly 0.69–0.82.\n(c) Timing. Hazards may not be proportional: after a short course, separation may come late, and the Cox HR averages over up to about 6 years.\nFrom (a)–(c) my central true HR is 0.77, with a log-scale SD of 0.14. Combining that with the sampling SE of 0.096 gives P(observed HR ≤ 0.83) = 0.67. Sensitivity: a central HR of 0.75 gives 0.72, and 0.80 gives 0.58; an SD of 0.10 gives 0.70, and 0.18 gives 0.64.\n4) Shading for what the model leaves out. No preclinical or prevention anti-amyloid trial has yet met its primary endpoint (S8 A4, S9 API ADAD, the S10 double-blind phase). Those drugs did not clear plaque, though, so this is a weak base rate for a drug that clears it (S9's own conclusion). This would be the first preclinical positive, and it is run largely remotely (S2, S4). I therefore take about 0.09 off the model's 0.67, giving 0.58.\n5) What would change this. A disclosed allocation ratio, the interim-analysis plan, or the power assumptions. Any AHEAD 3-45 readout. Evidence on how many participants had cleared amyloid by the end of dosing. Any Lilly statement on timing.\n\nPRIOR ART, re-run 2026-09-30: I found no open probability for this outcome and no reported result.

          "note": "The arithmetic reproduces only under the submission's 434-event assumption: SE(log HR)=2/sqrt(434)=0.0960, HR significance cutoff=0.8285, and with log-HR SD 0.14 plus sampling error the model gives 0.6668, then 0.5768 after the stated 0.09 subjective discount. But the claim does not use the newer public trial design. A 2024 Lilly-authored TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 3 slide reports 1:1 randomization, about 2,600 participants and 350 all-cause primary events (not 434): https://assets.ctfassets.net/mpejy6umgthp/4Xzve6Up2kj9uvvfskAJ3D/c9dfd30ccc0a449c80b35ef761e5fe41/VV-DONPT3_AAIC2024_ZIMMER_TRLBL_ALZ-2_INSIGHTS_DV-024669_V7.4.pdf . Re-running the same model with 350 events gives SE 0.1069, HR cutoff 0.8110, model probability 0.6157 and 0.5257 after the same discount. The submission relies on an older 434-event design (CTAD 2021/Alzforum) and its claim explicitly states a '434-event Cox analysis', so the current-design forecast and 0.58 claim do not reproduce exactly. Separately, novelty search found a public trial-specific 'Probability of Success' estimate for NCT05026866 on Ozmosi (https://pryzm.ozmosi.com/product/11616), so the assertion that no open probability existed also needs correction.",
