Demystifying Alzheimer’s Blood Biomarkers: What Every Clinician Needs to Know — A Complimentary Accredited Webinar
2025/12/09 - 1:00 PM EST / 19:00 CET
1 hour
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS | Complimentary 3-Part Live Webinar Series—Part 1:
This foundational webinar will clarify the science and clinical role of blood-based biomarkers (BBMs) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Analytical and clinical performance of AD BBM tests and appropriate positioning of testing within recommended diagnostic pathways alongside cognitive assessment, rule-out labs, and other testing modalities (PET/CSF) will be discussed. Special emphasis will be placed on interpreting positive, indeterminate, and negative test results. Included is a case-based dialogue to address common myths, patient communication tips, and how BBMs enable earlier access to specialist care and potential disease-modifying therapies.
OBJECTIVES:
- Differentiate AD BBM tests and key performance characteristics for amyloid pathology detection.
- Identify appropriate clinical use scenarios to order AD BBM tests within a structured diagnostic workup.
- Compare AD BBM tests to PET and CSF for amyloid/tau confirmation.
- Interpret positive, negative and indeterminate test results to guide patient management and patient/caregiver consultations.
