Study design details

Main study objective

To assess the usage patterns of Amyvid in European clinical practice,To assess the level of off-label use in European clinical practice.

Data analysis plan

Reasons for the Amyvid referral will be summarized using responses to the survey questions. The level of off-label use will be reported for each relevant question as a proportion of the total responses and as the total number of questions consistent with off-label use. Results will also be analysed by temporal period (1, 2, or 3 years elapsed since commercial launch of Amyvid) to evaluate if there are trends in patterns of Amyvid use. Reasons for non-response will be evaluated to assess the potential existence of selection bias. Additional information is available in the report.
