description Background: Knowledge on the effect of analytical variability and storage conditions are essential for the successful implementation of plasma pTau in prospective settings. Aims: To investigate the performance of plasma pTau, measured in consecutive samples with LUMIPULSE, for detecting Alzheimer's disease in a prospective memory clinic setting, along with evaluating its pre-analytical and analytical stability. Methods: We prospectively measured pTau using the LUMIPULSE automated platform in consecutive patient plasma samples collected between May and November 2024 at the Sant Pau Memory Unit (Barcelona). A subset of participants also underwent paired lumbar puncture for CSF AD biomarkers. We compared biomarker concentrations under different short-term storage conditions (4ºC vs -20ºC) and different protocol pipelines, and assessed lot-to-lot variability. In the subset with available CSF biomarkers, logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between plasma pTau217 and the likelihood of a positive (A +) or a negative (A-) CSF amyloid status. Using ROC analysis, in this prospective cohort we evaluated the accuracy of previously established thresholds derived from historical samples. Results: We included 280 participants, divided into two groups: those with (n = 109) and without CSF data (n = 171). Among the subset with CSF, 48% were A +, with a plasma pTau fold-change of 4.5 × compared to A-. We found no differences in plasma pTau concentrations between either short-term storage conditions. The overall coefficients of analytical variation ranged from 1.8% to 3.2%. Plasma pTau concentrations were slightly higher in paired samples of the clinical protocol. Following a two-threshold approach, the need of confirmatory tests (grey zones) after measuring plasma pTau ranged between 45.9% and 18.3% using our previously reported strict or lenient cutoffs (overall accuracy 96.6% and 92.1%, respectively). Conclusions: The robust stability and low lot-to-lot variability of plasma pTau measurement in an automated platform result in high diagnostic performance of this biomarker in the prospective evaluation of patients in a memory clinic setting. These findings support its implementation into clinical routine, offering clinicians an accessible biomarker for AD diagnosis.
