Clinical Utility of Early vs. Late Blood Biomarker Testing for Alzheimer's Disease

Healthcare providers engaged in memory care and Alzheimer's disease (AD) management have shown significant interest in the performance of plasma tests. A collaboration with Veteran's Affairs (VA) and other closed healthcare systems represents an opportunity to examine the clinical validity and utility of blood biomarkers (BBM). The ADELAIDE study is a prospective, randomized, clinical utility, economic impact and real-world study. The BBM test under study is the PrecivityAD2 blood test that uses high-resolution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry to measure plasma Aβ42/40 and p-tau217/np-tau217 ratios. This study will assess and quantify the impact of BBM testing to overall time-to-diagnosis and time to prescription of an appropriate Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or non-AD therapy. Additionally, this study will assess the impact of BBM testing to procedure utilization and overall costs of healthcare and will assess the diagnostic confidence of clinicians that order the test.
