Item Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities in the DIAN-TU-001 Trial of Gantenerumab and Solanezumab: Lessons from a Trial in Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Disease(Wiley, 2022) Joseph-Mathurin, Nelly; Llibre-Guerra, Jorge J.; Li, Yan; McCullough, Austin A.; Hofmann, Carsten; Wojtowicz, Jakub; Park, Ethan; Wang, Guoqiao; Preboske, Gregory M.; Wang, Qing; Gordon, Brian A.; Chen, Charles D.; Flores, Shaney; Aggarwal, Neelum T.; Berman, Sarah B.; Bird, Thomas D.; Black, Sandra E.; Borowski, Bret; Brooks, William S.; Chhatwal, Jasmeer P.; Clarnette, Roger; Cruchaga, Carlos; Fagan, Anne M.; Farlow, Martin; Fox, Nick C.; Gauthier, Serge; Hassenstab, Jason; Hobbs, Diana A.; Holdridge, Karen C.; Honig, Lawrence S.; Hornbeck, Russ C.; Hsiung, Ging-Yuek R.; Jack, Clifford R., Jr.; Jimenez-Velazquez, Ivonne Z.; Jucker, Mathias; Klein, Gregory; Levin, Johannes; Mancini, Michele; Masellis, Mario; McKay, Nicole S.; Mummery, Catherine J.; Ringman, John M.; Shimada, Hiroyuki; Snider, B.

S.; Clifford, David B.; Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit; Neurology, School of MedicineObjective: To determine the characteristics of participants with amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in a trial of gantenerumab or solanezumab in dominantly inherited Alzheimer disease (DIAD). Methods: 142 DIAD mutation carriers received either gantenerumab SC (n = 52), solanezumab IV (n = 50), or placebo (n = 40). Participants underwent assessments with the Clinical Dementia Rating® (CDR®), neuropsychological testing, CSF biomarkers, β-amyloid positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor ARIA. Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses evaluated potential ARIA-related risk factors. Results: Eleven participants developed ARIA-E, including 3 with mild symptoms. No ARIA-E was reported under solanezumab while gantenerumab was associated with ARIA-E compared to placebo (odds ratio [OR] = 9.1, confidence interval [CI][1.2, 412.3]; p = 0.021). Under gantenerumab, APOE-ɛ4 carriers were more likely to develop ARIA-E (OR = 5.0, CI[1.0, 30.4]; p = 0.055), as were individuals with microhemorrhage at baseline (OR = 13.7, CI[1.2, 163.2]; p = 0.039). No ARIA-E was observed at the initial 225 mg/month gantenerumab dose, and most cases were observed at doses >675 mg. At first ARIA-E occurrence, all ARIA-E participants were amyloid-PET+, 60% were CDR >0, 60% were past their estimated year to symptom onset, and 60% had also incident ARIA-H. Most ARIA-E radiologically resolved after dose adjustment and developing ARIA-E did not significantly increase odds of trial discontinuation. ARIA-E was more frequently observed in the occipital lobe (90%). ARIA-E severity was associated with age at time of ARIA-E. Interpretation: In DIAD, solanezumab was not associated with ARIA. Gantenerumab dose over 225 mg increased ARIA-E risk, with additional risk for individuals APOE-ɛ4(+) or with microhemorrhage. ARIA-E was reversible on MRI in most cases, generally asymptomatic, without additional risk for trial discontinuation.Item Comparing cortical signatures of atrophy between late-onset and autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease(Elsevier, 2020) Dincer, Aylin; Gordon, Brian A.; Hari-Raj, Amrita; Keefe, Sarah J.; Flores, Shaney; McKay, Nicole S.; Paulick, Angela M.; Shady Lewis, Kristine E.; Feldman, Rebecca L.; Hornbeck, Russ C.; Allegri, Ricardo; Ances, Beau M.; Berman, Sarah B.; Brickman, Adam M.; Brooks, William S.; Cash, David M.; Chhatwal, Jasmeer P.; Farlow, Martin R.; la Fougère, Christian; Fox, Nick C.; Fulham, Michael J.; Jack, Clifford R., Jr.; Joseph-Mathurin, Nelly; Karch, Celeste M.; Lee, Athene; Levin, Johannes; Masters, Colin L.; McDade, Eric M.; Oh, Hwamee; Perrin, Richard J.; Raji, Cyrus; Salloway, Stephen P.; Schofield, Peter R.; Su, Yi; Villemagne, Victor L.; Wang, Qing; Weiner, Michael W.; Xiong, Chengjie; Yakushev, Igor; Morris, John C.; Bateman, Randall J.; Benzinger, Tammie L.S.; Neurology, School of MedicineDefining a signature of cortical regions of interest preferentially affected by Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology may offer improved sensitivity to early AD compared to hippocampal volume or mesial temporal lobe alone. Since late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD) participants tend to have age-related comorbidities, the younger-onset age in autosomal dominant AD (ADAD) may provide a more idealized model of cortical thinning in AD. To test this, the goals of this study were to compare the degree of overlap between the ADAD and LOAD cortical thinning maps and to evaluate the ability of the ADAD cortical signature regions to predict early pathological changes in cognitively normal individuals. We defined and analyzed the LOAD cortical maps of cortical thickness in 588 participants from the Knight Alzheimer Disease Research Center (Knight ADRC) and the ADAD cortical maps in 269 participants from the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network (DIAN) observational study. Both cohorts were divided into three groups: cognitively normal controls (nADRC = 381; nDIAN = 145), preclinical (nADRC = 153; nDIAN = 76), and cognitively impaired (nADRC = 54; nDIAN = 48). Both cohorts underwent clinical assessments, 3T MRI, and amyloid PET imaging with either 11C-Pittsburgh compound B or 18F-florbetapir. To generate cortical signature maps of cortical thickness, we performed a vertex-wise analysis between the cognitively normal controls and impaired groups within each cohort using six increasingly conservative statistical thresholds to determine significance. The optimal cortical map among the six statistical thresholds was determined from a receiver operating characteristic analysis testing the performance of each map in discriminating between the cognitively normal controls and preclinical groups. We then performed within-cohort and cross-cohort (e.g. ADAD maps evaluated in the Knight ADRC cohort) analyses to examine the sensitivity of the optimal cortical signature maps to the amyloid levels using only the cognitively normal individuals (cognitively normal controls and preclinical groups) in comparison to hippocampal volume. We found the optimal cortical signature maps were sensitive to early increases in amyloid for the asymptomatic individuals within their respective cohorts and were significant beyond the inclusion of hippocampus volume, but the cortical signature maps performed poorly when analyzing across cohorts. These results suggest the cortical signature maps are a useful MRI biomarker of early AD-related neurodegeneration in preclinical individuals and the pattern of decline differs between LOAD and ADAD.Item Comparison of Pittsburgh compound B and florbetapir in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies(Elsevier, 2019-02-22) Su, Yi; Flores, Shaney; Wang, Guoqiao; Hornbeck, Russ C.; Speidel, Benjamin; Joseph-Mathurin, Nelly; Vlassenko, Andrei G.; Gordon, Brian A.; Koeppe, Robert A.; Klunk, William E.; Clifford, R. Jack, Jr.; Farlow, Martin R.; Salloway, Stephen; Snider, Barbara J.; Berman, Sarah B.; Roberson, Erik D.; Broschi, Jared; Jimenez-Velazques, Ivonne; van Dyck, Christopher H.; Galasko, Douglas; Yuan, Shauna H.; Jayadev, Suman; Honig, Lawrence S.; Gauthier, Serge; Hsiung, Ging-Yuek R.; Masellis, Mario; Brooks, William S.; Fulham, Michael; Clarnette, Roger; Masters, Colin L.; Wallon, David; Hannequin, Didier; Dubois, Bruno; Pariente, Jeremie; Sanchez-Valle, Raquel; Mummery, Catherine; Ringman, John M.; Bottlaender, Michel; Klein, Gregory; Milosavljevic-Ristic, Smiljana; McDade, Eric; Xiong, Chengjie; Morris, John C.; Bateman, Randall J.; Benzinger, Tammie L.S.; Neurology, School of MedicineIntroduction: Quantitative in vivo measurement of brain amyloid burden is important for both research and clinical purposes. However, the existence of multiple imaging tracers presents challenges to the interpretation of such measurements. This study presents a direct comparison of Pittsburgh compound B-based and florbetapir-based amyloid imaging in the same participants from two independent cohorts using a crossover design. Methods: Pittsburgh compound B and florbetapir amyloid PET imaging data from three different cohorts were analyzed using previously established pipelines to obtain global amyloid burden measurements. These measurements were converted to the Centiloid scale to allow fair comparison between the two tracers. The mean and inter-individual variability of the two tracers were compared using multivariate linear models both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Results: Global amyloid burden measured using the two tracers were strongly correlated in both cohorts. However, higher variability was observed when florbetapir was used as the imaging tracer. The variability may be partially caused by white matter signal as partial volume correction reduces the variability and improves the correlations between the two tracers. Amyloid burden measured using both tracers was found to be in association with clinical and psychometric measurements. Longitudinal comparison of the two tracers was also performed in similar but separate cohorts whose baseline amyloid load was considered elevated (i.e., amyloid positive). No significant difference was detected in the average annualized rate of change measurements made with these two tracers. Discussion: Although the amyloid burden measurements were quite similar using these two tracers as expected, difference was observable even after conversion into the Centiloid scale. Further investigation is warranted to identify optimal strategies to harmonize amyloid imaging data acquired using different tracers.Item Longitudinal Accumulation of Cerebral Microhemorrhages in Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Disease(American Academy of Neurology, 2021-03-23) Joseph-Mathurin, Nelly; Wang, Guoqiao; Kantarci, Kejal; Jack, Clifford R., Jr.; McDade, Eric; Hassenstab, Jason; Blazey, Tyler M.; Gordon, Brian A.; Su, Yi; Chen, Gengsheng; Massoumzadeh, Parinaz; Hornbeck, Russ C.; Allegri, Ricardo F.; Ances, Beau M.; Berman, Sarah B.; Brickman, Adam M.; Brooks, William S.; Cash, David M.; Chhatwal, Jasmeer P.; Chui, Helena C.; Correia, Stephen; Cruchaga, Carlos; Farlow, Martin R.; Fox, Nick C.; Fulham, Michael; Ghetti, Bernardino; Graff-Radford, Neill R.; Johnson, Keith A.; Karch, Celeste M.; Laske, Christoph; Lee, Athene K.W.; Levin, Johannes; Masters, Colin L.; Noble, James M.; O’Connor, Antoinette; Perrin, Richard J.; Preboske, Gregory M.; Ringman, John M.; Rowe, Christopher C.; Salloway, Stephen; Saykin, Andrew J.; Schofield, Peter R.; Shimada, Hiroyuki; Shoji, Mikio; Suzuki, Kazushi; Villemagne, Victor L.; Xiong, Chengjie; Yakushev, Igor; Morris, John C.; Bateman, Randall J.; Benzinger, Tammie L.S.; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of MedicineObjective: To investigate the inherent clinical risks associated with the presence of cerebral microhemorrhages (CMHs) or cerebral microbleeds and characterize individuals at high risk for developing hemorrhagic amyloid-related imaging abnormality (ARIA-H), we longitudinally evaluated families with dominantly inherited Alzheimer disease (DIAD). Methods: Mutation carriers (n = 310) and noncarriers (n = 201) underwent neuroimaging, including gradient echo MRI sequences to detect CMHs, and neuropsychological and clinical assessments. Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses evaluated relationships between CMHs and neuroimaging and clinical markers of disease. Results: Three percent of noncarriers and 8% of carriers developed CMHs primarily located in lobar areas. Carriers with CMHs were older, had higher diastolic blood pressure and Hachinski ischemic scores, and more clinical, cognitive, and motor impairments than those without CMHs. APOE ε4 status was not associated with the prevalence or incidence of CMHs. Prevalent or incident CMHs predicted faster change in Clinical Dementia Rating although not composite cognitive measure, cortical thickness, hippocampal volume, or white matter lesions. Critically, the presence of 2 or more CMHs was associated with a significant risk for development of additional CMHs over time (8.95 ± 10.04 per year). Conclusion: Our study highlights factors associated with the development of CMHs in individuals with DIAD. CMHs are a part of the underlying disease process in DIAD and are significantly associated with dementia. This highlights that in participants in treatment trials exposed to drugs, which carry the risk of ARIA-H as a complication, it may be challenging to separate natural incidence of CMHs from drug-related CMHs.Item Partial Volume Correction in Quantitative Amyloid Imaging.(Elsevier, 2015-02-15) Su, Yi; Blazey, Tyler M.; Snyder, Abraham Z.; Raichle, Marcus E.; Marcus, Daniel S.; Ances, Beau M.; Bateman, Randall J.; Cairns, Nigel J.; Aldea, Patricia; Cash, Lisa; Christensen, Jon J.; Friedrichsen, Karl; Hornbeck, Russ C.; Farrar, Angela M.; Owen, Christopher J.; Mayeux, Richard; Brickman, Adam M.; Klunk, William; Price, Julie C.; Thompson, Paul M.; Ghetti, Bernardino; Saykin, Andrew J.; Sperling, Reisa A.; Johnson, Keith A.; Schofield, Peter R.; Buckles, Virginia; Morris, John C.; Benzinger, Tammie LS; Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, IU School of MedicineAmyloid imaging is a valuable tool for research and diagnosis in dementing disorders. As positron emission tomography (PET) scanners have limited spatial resolution, measured signals are distorted by partial volume effects. Various techniques have been proposed for correcting partial volume effects, but there is no consensus as to whether these techniques are necessary in amyloid imaging, and, if so, how they should be implemented. We evaluated a two-component partial volume correction technique and a regional spread function technique using both simulated and human Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) PET imaging data. Both correction techniques compensated for partial volume effects and yielded improved detection of subtle changes in PiB retention. However, the regional spread function technique was more accurate in application to simulated data. Because PiB retention estimates depend on the correction technique, standardization is necessary to compare results across groups. Partial volume correction has sometimes been avoided because it increases the sensitivity to inaccuracy in image registration and segmentation. However, our results indicate that appropriate PVC may enhance our ability to detect changes in amyloid deposition.Item Presenilin-1 mutation position influences amyloidosis, small vessel disease, and dementia with disease stage(Wiley, 2024) Joseph-Mathurin, Nelly; Feldman, Rebecca L.; Lu, Ruijin; Shirzadi, Zahra; Toomer, Carmen; Saint Clair, Junie R.; Ma, Yinjiao; McKay, Nicole S.; Strain, Jeremy F.; Kilgore, Collin; Friedrichsen, Karl A.; Chen, Charles D.; Gordon, Brian A.; Chen, Gengsheng; Hornbeck, Russ C.; Massoumzadeh, Parinaz; McCullough, Austin A.; Wang, Qing; Li, Yan; Wang, Guoqiao; Keefe, Sarah J.; Schultz, Stephanie A.; Cruchaga, Carlos; Preboske, Gregory M.; Jack, Clifford R., Jr.; Llibre-Guerra, Jorge J.; Allegri, Ricardo F.; Ances, Beau M.; Berman, Sarah B.; Brooks, William S.; Cash, David M.; Day, Gregory S.; Fox, Nick C.; Fulham, Michael; Ghetti, Bernardino; Johnson, Keith A.; Jucker, Mathias; Klunk, William E.; la Fougère, Christian; Levin, Johannes; Niimi, Yoshiki; Oh, Hwamee; Perrin, Richard J.; Reischl, Gerald; Ringman, John M.; Saykin, Andrew J.; Schofield, Peter R.; Su, Yi; Supnet-Bell, Charlene; Vöglein, Jonathan; Yakushev, Igor; Brickman, Adam M.; Morris, John C.; McDade, Eric; Xiong, Chengjie; Bateman, Randall J.; Chhatwal, Jasmeer P.; Benzinger, Tammie L. S.; Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of MedicineIntroduction: Amyloidosis, including cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and markers of small vessel disease (SVD) vary across dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease (DIAD) presenilin-1 (PSEN1) mutation carriers. We investigated how mutation position relative to codon 200 (pre-/postcodon 200) influences these pathologic features and dementia at different stages. Methods: Individuals from families with known PSEN1 mutations (n = 393) underwent neuroimaging and clinical assessments. We cross-sectionally evaluated regional Pittsburgh compound B-positron emission tomography uptake, magnetic resonance imaging markers of SVD (diffusion tensor imaging-based white matter injury, white matter hyperintensity volumes, and microhemorrhages), and cognition. Results: Postcodon 200 carriers had lower amyloid burden in all regions but worse markers of SVD and worse Clinical Dementia Rating® scores compared to precodon 200 carriers as a function of estimated years to symptom onset. Markers of SVD partially mediated the mutation position effects on clinical measures. Discussion: We demonstrated the genotypic variability behind spatiotemporal amyloidosis, SVD, and clinical presentation in DIAD, which may inform patient prognosis and clinical trials. Highlights: Mutation position influences Aβ burden, SVD, and dementia. PSEN1 pre-200 group had stronger associations between Aβ burden and disease stage. PSEN1 post-200 group had stronger associations between SVD markers and disease stage. PSEN1 post-200 group had worse dementia score than pre-200 in late disease stage. Diffusion tensor imaging-based SVD markers mediated mutation position effects on dementia in the late stage.Item Utility of perfusion PET measures to assess neuronal injury in Alzheimer's disease(Elsevier, 2018-09-27) Joseph-Mathurin, Nelly; Su, Yi; Blazey, Tyler M.; Jasielec, Mateusz; Vlassenko, Andrei; Friedrichsen, Karl; Gordon, Brian A.; Hornbeck, Russ C.; Cash, Lisa; Ances, Beau M.; Veale, Thomas; Cash, David M.; Brickman, Adam M.; Buckles, Virginia; Cairns, Nigel J.; Cruchaga, Carlos; Goate, Alison; Jack, Clifford R., Jr.; Karch, Celeste; Klunk, William; Koeppe, Robert A.; Marcus, Daniel S.; Mayeux, Richard; McDade, Eric; Noble, James M.; Ringman, John; Saykin, Andrew J.; Thompson, Paul M.; Xiong, Chengjie; Morris, John C.; Bateman, Randall J.; Benzinger, Tammie L. S.; Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of MedicineIntroduction: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is commonly used to estimate neuronal injury in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we evaluate the utility of dynamic PET measures of perfusion using 11C-Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) to estimate neuronal injury in comparison to FDG PET. Methods: FDG, early frames of PiB images, and relative PiB delivery rate constants (PiB-R1) were obtained from 110 participants from the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network. Voxelwise, regional cross-sectional, and longitudinal analyses were done to evaluate the correlation between images and estimate the relationship of the imaging biomarkers with estimated time to disease progression based on family history. Results: Metabolism and perfusion images were spatially correlated. Regional PiB-R1 values and FDG, but not early frames of PiB images, significantly decreased in the mutation carriers with estimated year to onset and with increasing dementia severity. Discussion: Hypometabolism estimated by PiB-R1 may provide a measure of brain perfusion without increasing radiation exposure.
