Although tau pathology can be assessed using tau positron emission tomography, a more accessible biomarker is needed for diagnosis, prognosis and tracking treatment effects. Here we present a new plasma tau species, the endogenously cleaved, microtubule-binding region containing residue 243 (eMTBR-tau243), which specifically reflects tau tangle pathology. Across the AD spectrum in three different cohorts (<i>n</i> = 108, 55 and 739), plasma eMTBR-tau243 levels were significantly elevated at the mild cognitive impairment stage and increased further in dementia. Plasma eMTBR-tau243 showed strong associations with tau positron emission tomography binding (<i>β</i> = 0.72, <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.56) and cognitive performance (<i>β</i> = 0.60, <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.40), outperforming other plasma tau (%p-tau217 and %p-tau205) biomarkers. These results suggest that plasma eMTBR-tau243 may be useful for estimating the tauopathy load in AD, thereby improving the diagnostic evaluation of AD in clinical practice and monitoring the efficacy of tau-targeted therapies in clinical trials.</p>","PeriodicalId":19037,"journal":{"name":"Nature Medicine","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":82.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we summarize the efficacy and safety of IV iron from six trials (FAIR-HF, CONFIRM-HF, AFFIRM-AHF, IRONMAN, HEART-FID, and FAIR-HF2) including 7,175 patients. In comparison to prior analyses, this meta-analysis adds new data from FAIR-HF2, uses a harmonized and robust Bayesian approach, and includes individual participant data from 5 trials. Patients assigned to IV iron, as compared to those assigned to placebo, had lower rates for the composite endpoint of recurrent HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality at 12 months (RR 0.72 [95% CI 0.55–0.89]) and for the complete length of follow up (RR 0.81 [95% CI 0.63–0.97]). Each component of the primary endpoint contributed to the beneficial effect of IV iron at both 12 months and for the complete length of follow up: recurrent HF hospitalizations (RR 0.69 [95% CI 0.48–0.88] and RR 0.78 [95% CI 0.55–0.98], respectively) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 0.80 [95% CI 0.61–1.03] and HR 0.87 [95% CI 0.73–1.04], respectively). All-cause mortality at 12 months and for the complete length of follow up (HR: 0.82 [95% CI 0.65–1.03]) and 0.92 [95% CI 0.80–1.07], respectively) indicated the overall safety of IV iron treatment.
