Head-to-head comparison of 10 plasma phospho-tau assays in prodromal Alzheimer's disease

Shorena Janelidze et al.

Summary: Plasma phospho-tau species, especially p-tau217, show promise as blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease. This study compared the performance of different assays for p-tau181, p-tau217, and p-tau231 in detecting abnormal A beta status and predicting progression to Alzheimer's dementia. The mass spectrometry-based p-tau217 (p-tau217(WashU)) demonstrated the best performance, while several immunoassays, including p-tau217(Lilly), p-tau217(Janss), p-tau181(ADx), and p-tau181(WashU), showed high accuracy in both outcomes.

Tau biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease: towards implementation in clinical practice and trials

Rik Ossenkoppele et al.

Summary: Innovative second-generation tau-PET tracers have enabled the early detection of tau pathology in the medial temporal lobe. Novel phosphorylated tau (p-tau) assays in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) better reflect tau tangle load. Furthermore, blood-based biomarkers for tau pathology show promise in predicting disease progression and differentiating Alzheimer's disease from other types of dementia.

Diagnostic value of amyloid-PET and tau-PET: a head-to-head comparison

Daniele Altomare et al.

Summary: The study found that both amyloid-PET and tau-PET have a significant impact on diagnosis and diagnostic confidence when used as the first exam, with a stronger impact observed for a negative amyloid-PET result. Adding either of the two as a second exam further improved diagnostic confidence.

Associations of Plasma Phospho-Tau217 Levels With Tau Positron Emission Tomography in Early Alzheimer Disease

Shorena Janelidze et al.

Summary: This study highlights the potential of plasma P-tau217 as an early biomarker for Alzheimer's disease, showing elevated levels before tau-PET detected insoluble tau aggregates. Modeling suggests that changes in plasma and CSF P-tau217 precede tau-PET signals, indicating its usefulness in detecting early AD brain pathology.
