  • Advancing research diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer's disease: the IWG-2 criteria.

  • Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • In the past 8 years, both the International Working Group (IWG) and the US National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association have contributed criteria for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that better define clinical phenotypes and integrate biomarkers into the diagnostic process, covering the full staging of the disease. This Position Paper considers the strengths and limitations of the IWG research diagnostic criteria and proposes advances to improve the diagnostic framework. On the basis of these refinements, the diagnosis of AD can be simplified, requiring the presence of an appropriate clinical AD phenotype (typical or atypical) and a pathophysiological biomarker consistent with the presence of Alzheimer's pathology. We propose that downstream topographical biomarkers of the disease, such as volumetric MRI and fluorodeoxyglucose PET, might better serve in the measurement and monitoring of the course of disease. This paper also elaborates on the specific diagnostic criteria for atypical forms of AD, for mixed AD, and for the preclinical states of AD.

  • Amyloid-β(1-15/16) as a marker for γ-secretase inhibition in Alzheimer's disease.
  • 2012
  • In: Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD. - 1875-8908. ; 31:2, s. 335-41
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Amyloid-β (Aβ) producing enzymes are key targets for disease-modifying Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapies since Aβ trafficking is at the core of AD pathogenesis. Development of such drugs might benefit from the identification of markers indicating in vivo drug effects in the central nervous system. We have previously shown that Aβ(1-15) is produced by concerted β-and α-secretase cleavage of amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP). Here, we test the hypothesis that this pathway is more engaged upon γ-secretase inhibition in humans, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of Aβ(1-15/16) represent a biomarker for this effect. Twenty healthy men were treated with placebo (n = 5) or the γ-secretase inhibitor semagacestat (100 mg [n = 5], 140 mg [n = 5], or 280 mg [n = 5]). CSF samples were collected hourly over 36 hours and 10 time points were analyzed by immunoassay for Aβ(1-15/16), Aβ(x-38), Aβ(x-40), Aβ(x-42), sAβPPα, and sAβPPβ. The CSF concentration of Aβ(1-15/16) showed a dose-dependent response over 36 hours. In the 280 mg treatment group, a transient increase was seen with a maximum of 180% relative to baseline at 9 hours post administration of semagacestat. The concentrations of Aβ(x-38), Aβ(x-40), and Aβ(x-42) decreased the first 9 hours followed by increased concentrations after 36 hours relative to baseline. No significant changes were detected for CSF sAβPPα and sAβPPβ. Our data shows that CSF levels of Aβ(1-15/16) increase during treatment with semagacestat supporting its feasibility as a pharmacodynamic biomarker for drug candidates aimed at inhibiting γ-secretase-mediated AβPP-processing.
