Diadem nabs $2.5M to further validate Alzheimer’s blood test
The two-year grant will enable Diadem, a company that has been developing a blood-based test for the early prediction of Alzheimer's disease (AD), to leverage data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), a longitudinal multicenter study designed to enable development of biomarkers for the early detection and tracking of AD.

Diadem highlights new study on AlzoSure test for Alzheimer's
In a retrospective study published online May 17 in the Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease, researchers reported that AlzoSure Predict achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of more than 0.98 for identifying people who would progress to future symptomatic Alzheimer's disease up to six years before diagnosis.

New biomarker could detect early Alzheimer’s before symptoms
In addition, the findings have some implications for taking brain-boosting dietary supplements that contain the amino acid serine. The key compound responsible for producing serine in the body is PHGDH. The scientists reported that PHGDH mRNA and protein levels had increased in the brains of two mouse models of Alzheimer's disease or tauopathy.

FDA grants approval for Fujirebio assay for Alzheimer's plaques
The FDA granted clearance under its breakthrough device pathway to Fujirebio's Lumipulse G β-Amyloid Ratio (1-42/1-40) test, which is designed to measure the ratio of β-amyloid 1-42 and β-amyloid 1-40. These are proteins that can accumulate and form plaques in the brain; concentrations of these proteins can be detected in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF).

Quanterix partners with Alzheimer's research foundation
As part of the partnership, the ADDF will fund a series of prospective clinical trials to validate the test in collaboration with Amsterdam University Medical Centers in the Netherlands. The research will be coordinated through Quanterix's Simoa Accelerator Services Lab, which provides contract research services and clinical sample testing.

Sysmex, Eisai tout Alzheimer's research at AD/PD 2022
As part of a nonexclusive agreement to create diagnostic agents for dementia, researchers from the companies compared the performance of the plasma beta-amyloid ratio measured using the Sysmex HISCL automated immunoassay system with that of amyloid status on positron emission tomography (PET) imaging as determined by the Centiloid method. Their technique was assessed in a discovery study in 180 patients and in a validation study involving 191 patients who were clinically diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment.
