∙ ii) If no historical evidence available: A. A plasma biomarker will be assessed for eligibility if allowed per regulatory requirements. The test cutoff(s) will be based on diagnostic use approval.

∙ B. If a plasma biomarker assay cannot be used or if the assay result is inconclusive, conduct one the following:

• Amyloid PET.

• Aβ42/40 ratio or pTau181/Aβ42 ratio in CSF using an HA-authorized diagnostic assay.
