Arm Intervention/treatment
MCI (Amyloid Positive)
Participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD who tested amyloid positive were observed for up to 36 months. No therapeutic investigational drug intended to treat AD was administered.
 Drug: Florbetapir F 18 PET Scan
Florbetapir F 18 positron emission tomography (PET) scan performed at baseline to confirm amyloid status. Participants who previously tested amyloid positive were exempt. No therapeutic investigational drug(s) intended to treat AD will be administered.
Other Name: LY3078786
Mild AD Dementia (Amyloid Positive)
Participants with mild AD dementia who tested amyloid positive were observed for up to 36 months. No therapeutic investigational drug intended to treat AD was administered.
 Drug: Florbetapir F 18 PET Scan
Florbetapir F 18 positron emission tomography (PET) scan performed at baseline to confirm amyloid status. Participants who previously tested amyloid positive were exempt. No therapeutic investigational drug(s) intended to treat AD will be administered.
Other Name: LY3078786
MCI (Amyloid Negative)
Participants with MCI who tested amyloid negative. These participants were not eligible to participate in the 36 month prospective portion of the study.
 Drug: Florbetapir F 18 PET Scan
Florbetapir F 18 positron emission tomography (PET) scan performed at baseline to confirm amyloid status. Participants who previously tested amyloid positive were exempt. No therapeutic investigational drug(s) intended to treat AD will be administered.
Other Name: LY3078786
Mild Dementia (Amyloid Negative)
Participants with mild dementia who tested amyloid negative. These participants were not eligible to participate in the 36 month prospective portion of the study.
 Drug: Florbetapir F 18 PET Scan
Florbetapir F 18 positron emission tomography (PET) scan performed at baseline to confirm amyloid status. Participants who previously tested amyloid positive were exempt. No therapeutic investigational drug(s) intended to treat AD will be administered.
Other Name: LY3078786
