Fluid biomarkers in the context of amyloid-targeting disease-modifying treatments in Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract

Clinical management and therapeutics development for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have entered a new era, with recent approvals of monoclonal antibody therapies targeting the underlying pathophysiology of the disease and modifying its trajectory. Imaging and fluid biomarkers are becoming increasingly important in the clinical development of AD therapeutics. This review focuses on the evidence of fluid biomarkers from recent amyloid-β-targeting clinical trials, summarizing biomarker data across 12 trials. It further proposes a simple framework to put biomarker guidance in the context of amyloid-pathway-targeted disease modification, delineates factors that impact biomarker data in clinical trials, and highlights knowledge gaps and future directions. Increased knowledge and data on biomarkers in the context of disease progression and disease modification will help to better design future AD trials and guide the clinical management of patients on AD-modifying therapies, bringing us closer to the implementation of precision medicine in AD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
