Background: The Centiloid method (CL) was introduced as a tracer-independent measure for cortical amyloid load and is now commonly used in Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials. To facilitate its implementation into clinical settings, the AMYPAD consortium set out to integrate existing literature and recent work from the consortium to provide clinical context-of-use recommendations of the Centiloid scale, which has been submitted to the European Medicine Agency for endorsement as a Biomarker Qualification Opinion.

Method: Screening of the literature was performed on the 7/11/23 on PubMed to identify articles mentioning "Centiloid".

Background: Different patterns of atrophy exist in the dementia stage of AD. However, little is known about the heterogeneity of atrophy patterns and the mechanisms that drive subsequent propagation of the disease in the preclinical stages.

Method: From the AMYPAD-PNHS cohort, we included a total of 1323 non-demented individuals, including 1094 amyloid-negative, and 229 amyloid-positive participants (Table 1).

Background: The Amyloid Imaging to Prevent Alzheimer's Disease (AMYPAD) Prognostic & Natural History Study (PNHS) is a prospective longitudinal PET cohort of over 1,500 non-demented individuals from 10 parent cohorts across Europe. We provide an overview of ongoing efforts to curate and integrate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) multimodal images across sites and to extract biologically meaningful information (i.e.

Background: The emergence of disease-modifying drug therapies is expected to revolutionize the field of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent results from anti-amyloid clinical trials highlight the importance of early identification and accurate risk-stratification of individuals in early stages of the disease. In this context, the Amyloid Imaging to Prevent Alzheimer's Disease (AMYPAD) Prognostic and Natural History Study (PNHS) was established, leveraging existing cohorts to alleviate the burden of recruiting de novo participants.
