- Limbic age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy neuropathologic change (LATE-NC) is common in advanced age and can underlie a clinical presentation mimicking Alzheimer's disease (AD). We studied whether an autopsy-derived fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) signature of LATE-NC provides clinical utility for differential diagnosis of amnestic dementia patients.Ante mortem FDG-PET patterns from autopsy-confirmed LATE-NC (N = 7) and AD (N = 23) patients were used to stratify an independent cohort of clinically diagnosed AD dementia patients (N = 242) based on individual FDG-PET profiles.Autopsy-confirmed LATE-NC and AD groups showed markedly distinct temporo-limbic and temporo-parietal FDG-PET patterns, respectively. Clinically diagnosed AD dementia patients showing a LATE-NC-like FDG-PET pattern (N = 25, 10%) were significantly older, showed less abnormal AD biomarker levels, lower APOE ε4, and higher TMEM106B risk allele load. Clinically, they exhibited a more memory-predominant profile and a generally slower disease course.An autopsy-derived temporo-limbic FDG-PET signature identifies older amnestic patients whose clinical, genetic, and molecular biomarker features are consistent with underlying LATE-NC.

- Introduction: Clinical trials targeting tau in Alzheimer's disease (AD) need to recruit individuals at risk of tau accumulation. Here, we studied cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers and plasma phosphorylated tau (p-tau)181 as predictors of tau accumulation on positron emission tomography (PET) to evaluate implications for trial designs. Methods: We included older individuals who had serial tau-PET scans, baseline amyloid beta (Aβ)-PET, and baseline CSF biomarkers (n = 163) or plasma p-tau181 (n = 74). We studied fluid biomarker associations with tau accumulation and estimated trial sample sizes and screening failure reductions by implementing these markers into participant selection for trials. Results: P-tau181 in CSF and plasma predicted tau accumulation (r > 0.36, P <.001), even in AD-continuum individuals with normal baseline tau-PET (A+T–; r > 0.37, P <.05). Recruitment based on CSF biomarkers yielded comparable sample sizes to Aβ-PET. Prescreening with plasma p-tau181 reduced up to ≈50% of screening failures. Discussion: Clinical trials testing tau-targeting therapies may benefit from using fluid biomarkers to recruit individuals at risk of tau aggregation. © 2022 The Authors.
