About this trial
This study will investigate 99mTc-p5+14, an amyloid-reactive synthetic peptide, p5+14, radiolabeled with technetium-99m, as a radiotracer for detecting paamyloid deposits in patients with AL or ATTR-associated systemic amyloidosis, notably with cardiac involvement.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers

Be male or female >18 years of age.
WOCBP (those who have not been surgically sterilized, are not postmenopausal [i.e., last menstrual period >2 years ago without pharmaceutical intervention], and women who are fertile) must have a negative pregnancy test prior within 24 h prior to infusion.
WOCBP who are not exclusively in same-sex relationships and male participants with female sexual partners who are WOCBP must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods, defined as use of a condom by the male partner combined with use of a highly effective method of contraception by the female partner, for at least 2.5 days after injection of 99mTc-p5+14.
Disqualifiers

Treatments tested in this trial
99mTc-p5+14 is an amyloid reactive peptide labeled with technetium-99m.
DrugPeptide p5+14 is a pan-amyloid reactive, synthetic 45 L-amino acid polypeptide with a net +12 positive charge that can bind two major components of all extracellular amyloid deposits: (i) hypersulfated heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans (proteoglycans) and (ii) amyloid fibrils. The polypeptide, labeled with iodine-124, has been shown (study AMY1001) to bind amyloid in all organs including the heart. This study will evaluate a Tc-99m-labeled version of the peptide for gamma imaging.
99mTc-Pyrophosphate
Drug99mTc-PYP is an FDA-approved, commercially available bone-seeking radiotracer used routinely in nuclear medicine. 99mTC-PYP imaging is used clinically for the diagnosis of cardiac ATTR amyloidosis.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Whole body effective dosimetry measurement
Whole body effective radiation dose assessed from analysis of organ-specific radioactivity uptake in planar and SPECT images.
Secondary outcomes
Measure cardiac uptake of 99mTc-p5+14 radioactivity from planar and SPECT/CT images in comparison to 99mTc-PYP uptake
Measurement of 99mTc-p5+14 uptake in the heart of healthy volunteers and patients with systemic AL or ATTR amyloidosis and comparison with contemporaneous 99mTc-PYP cardiac radioactivity.
Measure uptake of 99mTc-p5+14 radioactivity in extracardiac tissues from planar and SPECT/CT images
Measurement of 99mTc-p5+14 radioactivity in abdominothoracic organs of healthy volunteers and patients with systemic AL or ATTR amyloidosis from planar and SPECT/CT images.
Other outcomes
Compare planar and SPECT imaging of 99mTc-p5+14 for the detection of cardiac amyloid
To compare the quantitative cardiac uptake of 99mTc-p5+14 and 99mTc-PyP in patients with systemic ATTR amyloidosis imaged by planar gamma scitigraphic and SPECT/CT imaging acquired at 1-hour and 3-hour post-injection.
