Plasma P-tau217 and P-tau181 are associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) tau pathology. P-tau217 is a more novel blood-based biomarker that may be diagnostically superior to P-tau181. We compared the diagnostic value of both biomarkers in a cohort of cognitively normal participants and patients with a clinical diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment, AD or frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). In this multi-cohort diagnostic performance study, we gathered plasma samples from the University of California San Francisco Memory and Aging Center and the Advancing Research and Treatment for Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration consortium. Plasma Ptau-181 and Ptau-217 were measured using electrochemiluminescence-based assays which only differed in the biotinylated antibody epitope specificity. Receiver operating characteristic analyses were used to determine diagnostic accuracy of both plasma markers using clinical diagnosis, neuropathological findings, and amyloid- and tau-PET measures as gold standards. Difference between two area under the curve (AUC) analyses was tested with the Delong test. Data were collected from 593 participants (mean age 64 years [SD 13], 294 [49.6%] females) between July and November 2020. Plasma P-tau217 and P-181 were correlated (r=0.90, p<0·0001). Both P-tau217 and P-tau181 concentrations were increased in clinical AD (mean age 65.3 years) relative to cognitively normal controls (mean age 60.9 years) (P-tau217 AUC=0.98, 95%CI=[0.95–1.00], P-tau181 AUC=0.97, 95%CI=[0.94–0.99], p[difference]=0.31, n=75 vs 118) and in pathology-confirmed AD (mean age 72.8 years) vs FTLD (mean age 67.1 years) (P-tau217 AUC=0.96, 95%CI=[0.92–1.00], P-tau181 AUC=0.91, 95%CI=[0.82–1.00], p[difference]=0.22, n=15 vs 68). P-tau217 outperformed P-tau181 in differentiating clinical AD from FTLD spectrum (mean age 66.8 years) (P-tau217 AUC=0.93, 95%CI=[0.91–0.96], P-tau181 AUC=0.91, 95%CI=[0.88–0.94], p[difference]=0.007, n=75 vs 274). P-tau217 was a stronger indicator of amyloid-PET positivity (P-tau217: AUC=0.91, 95%CI=[0.88–0.94], P-tau181: AUC=0.89, 95%CI=[0.86–0.93], p[difference]=0.049, n=146 vs 214). Tau-PET binding in the temporal cortex was more strongly associated with P-tau217 than P-tau181 (r=0.79 vs r=0.72, p[difference] <0·0001, n=230). In a direct comparison using matched immunoassays, both P-tau217 and P-tau181 had excellent diagnostic performance for differentiating AD from other groups. There were small, but statistically significant differences in favor of P-tau217 for differential diagnosis of clinical AD, indication of amyloid-PET-positivity and stronger correlations with tau-PET signal. Pending replication in independent, diverse, and older cohorts, plasma P-tau217 and P-tau181 may be useful screening tools to identify individuals with underlying amyloid and AD tau pathology.
