Critical Path For Alzheimer’s Disease (CPAD) Database
The database contains, but is not limited to, demographic information, APOE4 genotype, concomitant medications, and cognitive scales (MMSE and ADAS-Cog). Limited treatment-arm data and limited AD biomarker data (biofluids, tau or amyloid positron emission tomography (PET), EEG data) is available. All data has been remapped to a common data standard (CDISC SDTM v3.1.2) such that all the data can be analyzed across all studies.

FAQs
Patient-level data from 12,811 patients across 36 clinical trials of AD and MCI. The database contains, but is not limited to, demographic information, APOE4 genotype, concomitant medications, and cognitive scales (MMSE and ADAS-Cog). Limited treatment-arm data and limited AD biomarker data (biofluids, tau or amyloid positron emission tomography (PET), EEG data) is available. All data has been remapped to a common data standard (CDISC SDTM v3.1.2) such that all the data can be analyzed across all studies. It is openly available to CPAD members, as well as to external qualified researchers who submit, and are approved for, a request for access. All data are fully de-identified.
Exact names of test drug candidates from sponsor companies.
The data are mapped to the CDISC foundational and AD-specific Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM). Knowledge of SDTM is required for effective use of the data. Information and training on SDTM is available from CDISC: no SDTM training is provided within CODR.
The data consists of 33 SDTM domains. A summary of the more salient concepts captured by SDTM domains contained in the CPAD AD database is provided in the table below. Please note that not all studies have complete data for these data.

Serves as a tool for the development of modeling and simulation tools for AD clinical trials; and
Item level data of clinical scales is present allowing investigators to analyze sub-items for specific analyses.
A working knowledge of SDTM (www.cdisc.org) is required to make use of the data.
