Brief summary

Study AACU determines rates of cognitive worsening in participants within elevated and not elevated plasma P-tau217 cohorts. Participation in AACU will last approximately 7 years.

Detailed description

Study AACU is a non-drug interventional study. The intervention is annual plasma P-tau217 testing. Enrollment is anticipated to be approximately 3400 participants.

Interventions

OTHERP-tau217 Test

Inclusion criteria

* The participant must self-report unimpaired cognition. * The participant must have adequate literacy, vision, and hearing for neuropsychological assessments at the time of screening.

Exclusion criteria

* Have seen a doctor about memory concerns. * Have a history or diagnosis of cognitive impairment, or significant other neurodegenerative disease that can affect cognition. * Are currently enrolled or have previously participated in any Alzheimer's Disease (AD)-related study involving an investigational drug intervention. * Are currently using or have previously used prescription medications for treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia such as amyloid targeting therapy (that is, lecanemab, donanemab, aducanumab), cholinesterase inhibitors (for example, benzgalantamine, donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine), and memantine.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to Cognitive Worsening Within Cohorts as Measured by Cognitive Composite or Any of the Individual Composite ComponentsBaseline up to 7 yearsCognitive composite may consist of International Daily Symbol Substitution Test-Medicines (iDSSTm ), International Shopping List Test (ISLT), Continuous Paired Associate Learning Test (CPAL). Time to cognitive worsening is defined as a change in cognitive composite score or any of the individual composite components, from baseline at 2 consecutive visits.
