ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
This study evaluated the performance of the Lumipulse plasma beta-amyloid (Aß) 42/40 and pTau181 compared to other assays to detect an abnormal amyloid-positron emission tomography (PET).METHODS:
Plasma samples from cognitively unimpaired (N = 179) and MCI/AD dementia (N = 36) individuals were retrospectively evaluated. Plasma Aß42/40 and pTau181 were measured using the Lumipulse and Simoa immunoassays. An immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry (IP-MS) assay for plasma Aß42/40 was also evaluated. Amyloid-PET status was the outcome measure.RESULTS:
Lumipulse and IP-MS Aß42/40 exhibited the highest diagnostic accuracy for detecting an abnormal amyloid-PET (areas under the curve [AUCs] of 0.81 and 0.84, respectively). The Lumipulse and Simoa pTau181 assays exhibited lower performance (AUCs of 0.74 and 0.72, respectively). The Simoa Aß42/40 assay demonstrated the lowest diagnostic accuracy (AUC 0.57). Combining Aß42/40 and pTau181 did not significantly improve performance over Aß42/40 alone for Lumipulse (AUC 0.83) or over pTau181 alone for Simoa (AUC 0.71).DISCUSSION:
The Lumipulse Aß42/40 assay showed similar performance to the IP-MS Aß42/40 assay for detection of an abnormal amyloid-PET; and both assays performed better than the two p-tau181 immunoassays. The Simoa Aß42/Aß40 assay was the least accurate at predicting an abnormal amyloid-PET status. Highlights Lumipulse plasma Aß42/Aß40 AUC for abnormal amyloid-PET detection was 0.81.This performance was comparable to previously reported IP-MS and higher than Simoa.Performance of Alzheimer's disease blood biomarkers varies between assays.
