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 volunteers

Qualifiers

Understand the study procedures and agree to participate in the study by giving written informed consent.

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

Due to annual dosimetry limitations, patients who have participated in another nuclear medicine amyloid imaging clinical trial protocol and received tracer injection in the last 6 months.

Is pregnant or breast-feeding.

Is mentally or legally incapacitated, has significant emotional problems at the time of the study, or has a history of psychosis.

Receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • 99mTc-p5+14 is an amyloid reactive peptide labeled with technetium-99m.

    Drug

    Peptide 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

    Drug

    99mTc-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
