Timely and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in clinical practice remains challenging. PET and CSF biomarkers are the most widely used biomarkers to aid diagnosis in clinical research but present limitations for clinical practice (i.e., cost, accessibility). Emerging blood-based markers have the potential to be accurate, cost-effective, and easily accessible for widespread clinical use, and could facilitate timely diagnosis. The EU/US CTAD Task Force met in May 2022 in a virtual meeting to discuss pathways to implementation of blood-based markers in clinical practice. Specifically, the CTAD Task Force assessed: the state-of-art for blood-based markers, the current use of blood-based markers in clinical trials, the potential use of blood-based markers in clinical practice, the current challenges with blood-based markers, and the next steps needed for broader adoption in clinical practice.

Background: Novel anti-amyloid therapies (AAT) for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) have recently been approved in the United States, Japan and China, and are under regulatory review in Europe. Questions remain regarding the long-term effectiveness and value of these drugs when used in routine clinical practice. Data from follow-up studies will be important to inform their optimal use, including criteria for treatment initiation, monitoring strategies, stopping rules, pricing and reimbursement considerations.

Background: Alzheimer's and related disorders (ADRD) represent a range of neurodegenerative conditions characterized by abnormal protein deposits in the brain. Despite advances, there is a need for enhanced diagnostic and treatment approaches that acknowledge the diversity of ADRD. This project introduces the Alzheimer's and Related Disorders Multicenter Archive (ARMA), a collaborative platform with an advanced Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system linked to Electronic Medical Records (EMR) designed to refine ADRD diagnosis and natural history understanding, thus informing precision medicine.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a leading cause of death disability. DVT can be classified based on the location and extent of the clot into isolated distal DVT (iDDVT), isolated proximal DVT (iPDVT), or mixed DVT. The aim of this study is to explore the baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with different types of DVT.
