About this trial
This was a single center, prospective cohort study that is evaluating the ability of beta-amyloid dynamic PET/CT to detect potential therapeutic changes in subjects under treatment for AL-CA after one year had elapsed since their baseline beta-amyloid PET/CT. Demographic, clinical and PET imaging data were collected to characterize potential changes since their baseline scans.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in 11C-PIB/18F-Florbetapir myocardial retention index from baseline to 12 months
For calculation of the 11C-PIB retention index (RI), the mean tissue concentration between 10 and 20 min was divided by the integral of the blood time activity curve from 0 to 15 min after injection. For calculation of the 18F-Florbetapir RI, the mean tissue concentration between 10 and 30 min was divided by the integral of the blood time activity curve from 0 to 20 min after injection.
Change in 11C-PIB/18F-Florbetapir myocardial mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean) from baseline to 12 months
Median percentage change in left ventricular SUVmean. The standardized uptake value (SUV) of the myocardium was measured by drawing the contour of the whole left ventricle at an approximate thickness of 10 mm from the base to the apex.
Change in 11C-PIB/18F-Florbetapir myocardial SUV ratio (SUVR) from baseline to 12 months
For calculation of the 11C-PIB SUVR, it was defined as the SUVmean of the myocardial VOI divided by the SUVmean of the left atrium VOI between 10 and 20 minutes. For calculation of the 18F-Florbetapir SUVR, it was defined as the SUVmean of the myocardial VOI divided by the SUVmean of the left atrium VOI between 10 and 30 minutes.
