In this episode, we dive into the latest advancements in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarkers, focusing on the diagnostic and predictive potential of plasma p-tau217.

As an alternative to traditional PET assessment, blood-based biomarker detection has the potential to provide a time-efficient, cost-effective strategy for pre-screening and treatment monitoring in AD clinical trials. Although the widespread use of blood-based biomarkers in clinical practice remains to be seen, they also hold promise in expediting diagnostic/prognostic procedures for AD.

We are joined by renowned researchers who discuss their work to test and validate p-tau217, both as a tool for clinical trials and for use in daily practice.
