8 Landscape of AD Clinical Trials Right Stage However, the annual conversion rate from MCI to AD is 3 20% (Mitchell 2009) The effect of a drug (if there is one) is diminished. = Right stage is not right enough! According to FDA, enrichment entails to... the prospective use of any patient characteristic to select a study population in which detection of a drug effect (if one is in fact present) is more likely than it would in an unselected population.
