Analytical Model Review

Model Review — NTX-101

Primary and benchmark predictive model documentation supporting the Phase II responder analysis.

Model Card — Phase II

A concise, sponsor-style model card describing use, inputs, benchmarking, and performance metrics for the Phase II responder model.

Use Case

Predict Phase II Week 24 responder status for exploratory program gating support.

Primary Model

logistic_regression

Inputs

TypeVariables
Numericage, baseline_cognitive_score, chg_week12, early_safety_discontinuation_before_week12
Categoricalsex, race, baseline_severity_group, treatment_arm

Exclusions / Leakage Controls

  • No post-Week-24 features used.
  • Outcome-defining fields at Week 24 excluded from predictors.
  • Training features documented explicitly in this card.

Benchmarking

Conservative benchmark set includes logistic regression, elastic net, and random forest. Logistic regression remains primary for interpretability and sponsor-style transparency.

Threshold Logic

Primary classification threshold: 0.495

Threshold selected from the training ROC curve to preserve clinically useful sensitivity while improving specificity over the default 0.50 cutoff.

Limitations

  • Findings should be interpreted within the documented source-mix and continuity assumptions used for this integrated review.
  • Predictive performance may vary if endpoint prevalence or follow-up assumptions materially change.
