Abstrakt: Background: Plasma phosphorylated-tau217 (p-tau217) has been shown to be one of the most accurate diagnostic markers for Alzheimer's disease (AD). No studies have compared the clinical performance of p-tau217 as assessed by the fully automated Lumipulse and SIMOA ALZpath p-tau217.
Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Lumipulse and SIMOA plasma p-tau217 assays for AD.
Methods: The study included 392 participants, 162 with AD, 70 with other neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) with CSF biomarkers and 160 healthy controls. Plasma p-tau217 levels were measured using the Lumipulse and ALZpath SIMOA assays. The ability of p-tau217 assessed by both techniques to discriminate AD from NDD and controls was investigated using ROC analyses.
Results: Both techniques showed high internal consistency of p-tau217 with similar correlation with CSF p-tau181 levels. In head-to-head comparison, Lumipulse and SIMOA showed similar diagnostic accuracy for differentiating AD from NDD (area under the curve [AUC] 0.952, 95%CI 0.927-0.978 vs 0.955, 95%CI 0.928-0.982, respectively) and HC (AUC 0.938, 95%CI 0.910-0.966 and 0.937, 95% CI0.907-0.967 for both assays).
Conclusions: This study demonstrated the high precision and diagnostic accuracy of p-tau217 for the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease using either fully automated or semi-automated techniques.
