• PPMI measurement: {Bartl, 2021 #2736}
{Bartl, #2736}2021chromophore Longitudinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from PPMI (252 PD, 115 healthy controls, HC) were analyzed at six timepoints (baseline, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 months follow-up)
αSyn was significantly lower in PD (mean 103 pg/ml vs. HC: 127 pg/ml, p<0.01; area under the curve [AUC]: 0.64), while all other biomarkers were not significantly different (AUC NfL: 0.49, sTREM2: 0.54, YKL40: 0.57, GFAP: 0.55, IL-6: 0.53, S100: 0.54, p>0.05) and none showed a significant difference longitudinally.

Below LOD data

Strategies for handling data below LOD in data analysis (https://olink.com/faq/how-is-the-limit-of-detection-lod-estimated-and-handled/)

Several strategies exist for handling data below LOD that varies in complexity. Olink delivers data below LOD to allow researches to choose the strategy that is best for their study and interpret results with the complexity of data below LOD in mind. Some examples of strategies include:

  • Use actual data below LOD: As data below LOD may be non-linear this data should be interpreted cautiously. However, especially in large multiplate studies LOD is a conservative measurement. Using actual data may increase the statistical power and gives a more normal distribution of the data. Including data under LOD does commonly not increase false positives as there is generally no significant difference between groups under LOD (values tend to be condensed to a very small range).
  • Replace data below LOD: Data values below the LOD may be replaced with a fixed value, commonly the LOD. This will truncate the lower end of the data distribution rendering a less normal distribution. Estimates of e.g. the mean will be biased and parametric statistical tests may have lower statistical power.
  • Impute data below LOD: A more complex approach for handling data below LOD is to impute the true value. There exist various approaches for imputation of data below LOD.

Parameters

AUC my clin pharm colleague Michelle Jia provided the following information about AUC tau:

AUC24 and AUCtau are both AUC from 0 to 24 hours, in a QD dosing regimen. The difference is sometimes not very clear. Some people think AUC24 is Day 1 or on any Day from 0 to 24. Some people think AUCtau is at steady state, but AUCtau can also mean AUC24 on Day 7 or Day 14. To be more precise, we use AUCtau,ss to represent at steady state. In this case, AUC24,ss is as same as AUCtau,ss.

Questions

the data from a single-dose PD study could be used to predict longer-term efficacy?, 핵심그림(좌, 우 변수가 다 translationabl 해야함!)! [Dose-single dose PD- Chronic efficacy] □: efficacy (Left), ▪: TE PD (Right),

[Panel A: Target Engagement PD and BWL Efficacy versus Dose; y-axis %BWL Efficacy@14day (0–25), x-axis Dose (mg/kg) on log scale 1–100; two series, solid line with filled circles (BWL Efficacy) and dashed line with open squares (Simulated Target Engagement PD).]

- 1–3 mg/kg애기: the AUE for TE increased approx. 2.5-fold; however, this dose was not sufficient to cause BWL,
- (10 mg/kg애기구나), an efficacy of 5% BWL correlates with an approx. 5-fold increase in TE, 즉 minimum TE needed for Efficacy는 5 구나,
- (15 mg/kg애기). an efficacy of 10% BWL correlates with an approx. 10-fold increase in TE
