A method of pre-screening a human subject for a clinical trial for treatment of tauopathy or an amyloidogenic disease. The method comprises obtaining a plasma sample from the subject and determining a concentration of p217+tau present in the plasma sample. The method further comprises indicating the subject for further screening for the clinical trial when the concentration of p217+tau present in the plasma sample is greater than or equal to a minimum threshold and less than or equal to a maximum threshold. The minimum threshold corresponds to an amount of p217+tau in plasma over which subjects present with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and an increased accumulation of tau tangles in the brain as compared to a cognitively normal patient. The maximum threshold corresponds to an amount of p217+tau present in plasma over which subjects present with pathology of widespread accumulation of tau tangles in multiple regions of the brain.

Based on co-drugs representing two different chemical entities and the co- and sequential administration of the two chemical entities, novel therapies for macular degeneration and TTR amyloidosis are provided. The first component (“selective TTR ligand”) is a chemical entity that binds to TTR in the RBP4 (retinol-binding protein 4)-TTR (transthyretin) complex, which participates in the delivery of retinol to the retina. This component reduces retinol transport from circulation to the retina and provides stabilization of the TTR tetramer. The second component (“C20-D3-visual chromophore-generating compound”) is a C20-D3 modified retinoid or carotenoid that, when metabolized in mammals, ultimately produces a C20-D3 visual chromophore, which is presented in the retina as C20-D3-9-cis-retinal or C20-D3-11-cis-retinal. Deuteration at C20 reduces the formation of lipofuscin biretinol, but other functions (such as providing a precursor for the synthesis of the visual chromophore 11-cis-retinaldehyde in vivo) are not reduced.
