Current methods, including positron emission tomography (PET) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, are costly and invasive methods that may limit access to new treatments. Plasma tau phosphorylated at threonine-217 (P-tau217) presents a promising alternative, yet optimal cutoffs for treatment eligibility with DMTs like aducanumab require further investigation. This study evaluates the efficacy of one- and two-cutoff strategies for determining DMT eligibility at the Butler Hospital Memory & Aging Program (MAP).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In this retrospective, cross-sectional diagnostic cohort study, we first developed P-tau217 cutoffs using site-specific and BioFINDER-2 training data, which were then tested in potential DMT candidates from Butler MAP (total n = 150).

Using P-tau217 could potentially replace more invasive diagnostic methods, and all aducanumab-treated participants would have been deemed eligible based on P-tau217. However, false positives remain a concern, particularly when applying externally derived cutoffs that exhibited lower specificity which could have led to inappropriate treatment of Aβ-negative participants.

We examined latent class mixture models with longitudinal cognition as the dependent variable and time from baseline, baseline age, sex, neocortical Aβ, entorhinal tau, and adjusted hippocampal volume as independent variables.
