Head‐to‐head trajectories of MK6240, Flortaucipir, and plasma <i>p</i> ‐tau217 as a function of Aβ

MK6240 becomes abnormal at lower levels of Aβ burden compared to plasma p-tau217 and Flortaucipir. The relatively high prevalence of discordant tau PET positive or plasma p-tau217 positive and suggests that some individuals may show tau PET positivity first, while others may exhibit plasma p-tau217 positivity first. The distinct cognitive profiles of this groups suggest potential clinical relevance, warranting further investigation.

Abstract

MK6240 becomes abnormal at lower levels of Aβ burden compared to plasma p-tau217 and Flortaucipir. The relatively high prevalence of discordant tau PET positive or plasma p-tau217 positive and suggests that some individuals may show tau PET positivity first, while others may exhibit plasma p-tau217 positivity first. The distinct cognitive profiles of this groups suggest potential clinical relevance, warranting further investigation.
