A Multi-Analyte Algorithmic Blood Test to Aid in the Diagnostic Evaluation for Alzheimer’s Disease
LucentADTM Complete is a best-in-class, multi-marker blood test for patients being evaluated for Alzheimer’s Disease. Lucent Diagnostics’ novel approach analyzes 5 unique biomarkers, (p-Tau 217, Aβ42/40, NfL, GFAP1) with an algorithmic score to indicate probability of amyloid pathology, in one blood test.
With a multi-analyte algorithmic test, the precision of the logistic risk score is dependent upon the precision of all the assays in the test. LucentAD Complete measures five different analytes. The precision of four of the five tests (Ab40, Ab42, GFAP, and NfL) is largely dictated by the precision of a single multiplexed immunoassay in which all assays are performed simultaneously, thus reducing the variability of four different immunoassays. This consolidation of multiple tests into a single assay benefits the overall precision of the algorithm.
The LucentAD Complete test is run in Lucent Diagnostics CLIA certified laboratory and is available in the US to medical providers, for their eligible patients. Blood samples are shipped, refrigerated or frozen, to the Lucent laboratory in packaging provided. The company plans to announce additional tests, aimed at improving the diagnosis and management of AD and other neurological disorders.
