MILAN and SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Diadem SpA, a company developing the first blood-based test for the early prediction of progression to Alzheimer's disease (AD), today announced that its researchers have developed computational methods that enable its AlzoSure® Predict prognostic technology to accurately identify individuals who will rapidly progress to AD within two years' time. More than 95% of the patients above the new computational "cutoff" used to define "rapid progressors" were shown to progress to AD within two years' time, regardless of their baseline diagnosis. Using a modified form of the new approach, Diadem was able to do even better, accurately identifying a cohort where 100% of the patients progressed to AD within two years, while none of the patients not included in the modified cutoff cohort did so.

Key Points: 
  • The computational analysis were developed using a relatively limited number of patient samples from major international longitudinal patient databases.
  • The results will be further validated and expanded, and these analyses are already underway using global cohorts of qualified biological samples.
  • AlzoSure® Predict can allow drug developers to screen, enrich and stratify patient populations to facilitate Alzheimer's disease clinical trials.
  • Previous research also demonstrated that AlzoSure® Predict can discriminate between the different kinds of dementia with high accuracy.
