  1. aTwo participants are included in the clinic visit category who completed some assessments remotely via video conferencing as COVID-19 restrictions began to ease
  2. b9 PET/MRI scans in phase 3 currently due to be rescheduled as a result of tracer production failures
  3. c157 lumbar punctures were attempted in phase 2 (complete), and 134 of those procedures resulted in successful collection of cerebrospinal fluid
  4. d120 lumbar punctures have been attempted in phase 3 as of June 2023 (ongoing), and 114 of those procedures resulted in successful collection of cerebrospinal fluid. Seventy-three participants have serial lumbar puncture collections to date from phases 2 (complete) and 3 (ongoing)
