abstract = {INTRODUCTIONWith anti-amyloid beta (Aβ) therapies approved
for Alzheimer's disease (AD), surrogate biomarkers are
needed to monitor clinical treatment efficacy. Therefore, we
systematically compared longitudinal changes in A/T/N
biomarkers (amyloid-positron emission tomography [PET],
tau-PET, plasma phosphorylated tau at threonine 217
[p-tau217], and magnetic resonance imaging) for tracking
cognitive changes.METHODSWe analyzed longitudinal biomarker
and cognitive change rates from the Alzheimer's Disease
Neuroimaging Initiative (N = 141) and Anti-Amyloid Treatment
in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's (A4) and Longitudinal Evaluation
of Amyloid Risk and Neurodegeneration (LEARN) (N = 151),
estimated using linear mixed models. Using linear models, we
tested biomarker changes as predictors of cognitive changes,
comparing predictive strengths across biomarkers using
bootstrapping.RESULTSTau-PET, plasma p-tau217, and cortical
thickness changes accurately tracked change rates in
Mini-Mental State Examination, Alzheimer's Disease
Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale 13-item version,
Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes, and Preclinial
Alzheimer Cognitive Composite scores. In contrast,
amyloid-PET change rates were not linked to cognitive
changes.DISCUSSIONPlasma p-tau217 offers a cost-effective
AD-specific alternative to tau-PET and could potentially be
implemented for monitoring cognitive changes in AD trials,
while amyloid-PET lacks utility. Cortical thickness changes
accurately track cognitive changes but may be confounded by
pseudo-atrophy in anti-Aβ treatments.},
