Blood clues to why Alzheimer’s drug results vary
Key Takeaways
  • Researchers measured 130 plasma proteins from 1,967 participants across 2,385 samples using an ultra-sensitive panel.
  • Proteins associated with amyloid clearance differed largely from proteins linked to later cognitive decline.
  • Brain-derived tau measures outperformed peripheral tau at distinguishing treated patients from controls at multiple timepoints.
