About this study

Official title: Evaluation of 124I-p5+14 Injection as an Imaging Agent for the Detection of Systemic Amyloidosis

This is a single-center, exploratory, Phase 1 Positron Emission Tomography/x-ray Computed Tomography (PET/CT) imaging study to detect amyloidosis that will enroll patients with a confirmed diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis. The purpose of this exploratory trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of 124I-p5+14 Injection at a single-injection dose adequate for imaging amyloid deposits by using PET/CT imaging in subjects with confirmed systemic Immunoglobulin Light Chain-associated Amyloidosis (AL), Transthyretin-associated Amyloidosis (ATTR), Leukocyte Chemotactic Factor 2-associated Amyloidosis (ALect2) as well as other types.

Read the detailed description

The rationale for this study is the discovery of a synthetic polypeptide, designated p5+14, a synthetic 45 amino acid peptide that binds many forms of amyloid, including human AL-, ATTR- and ALect2-associated amyloid, as well as human and murine serum amyloid protein A-associated (AA) amyloid. In preclinical studies, using SPECT and PET imaging, as well as microautoradiography, it has been shown that radioiodinated p5+14 binds rapidly and specifically to all amyloid deposits in abdominothoracic organs and tissues.

This is a single site, exploratory, open-label Phase I PET/CT imaging and dosimetry study. The investigational drug product (designated 124I-p5+14 Injection) is an amyloid-reactive synthetic peptide, p5+14 (also known as APi1832), radiolabeled with iodine-124 (I-124 or 124I). All patients enrolled in this exploratory trial will be outpatients with a confirmed diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis.

The first three patients enrolled in the trial (Part 1) will take part in a dose-escalation dosimetry study and will receive a single intravenous (IV) dose of 11.1 Megabecquerel (MBq) (0.3 millicuries (mCi); n = 1), 37 MBq (1 mCi; n = 1) or 74 MBq (2 mCi; n = 1) of 124I-p5+14 Injection for the purpose of determining estimates of organ-associated and whole body radioactive dosimetry.

The trial then will be opened to include another 54 patients who will receive a single IV bolus injection of 2 mCi 124I-p5+14 Injection. Every patient participating will receive < 2 mg of peptide p5+14. The study comprises five parts.

In Part 2, the trial will enroll SA patients with confirmed AL, ATTR, ALECT2, or other forms of amyloidosis.

In Part 3, the trial will study asymptomatic subjects with genetically confirmed mutation of the transthyretin gene.

Part 4 will include five healthy control subjects. Part 5 will recruit previously enrolled subjects from Parts 2 or 3 who received a 2 mC dose of 124I-p5+14 Injection and had images confirming the presence of abnormal amyloid deposits for a second exposure to 124I p5+14 Injection and second PET/CT scan.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Organ-specific radioactivity dosimetry (Part 1).

    Localization of 124I-p5+14 will be taken from PET/CT images performed at intervals during the 48 hours after injection. Organ-specific dosimetry and whole body dose measurements will be made using Olinda software (Olinda/Exp; Organ Level Internal Dose Assessment/Exponential Modeling)

    Measured: Through 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Absolute values and changes from baseline in clinical laboratory values.

    Laboratory assessments will include hematology and clinical chemistry.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 hours

  2. Clinically defined amyloidosis organ involvement.

    For each subject, the clinician/investigator will designate each organ as involved or not involved with amyloidosis, based on available medical history including prior imaging, prior biopsy results, and clinical laboratory values.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Measure of background radioactivity uptake.

    For each subject, a background radioactivity uptake measure will be derived from the PET images at an uninvolved anatomic site (the lumen of a large blood vessel).

    Measured: 6 hours and 24 hours

  4. Measure of radioactivity uptake by each organ

    Uptake of 124I-p5+14 will be derived from PET/CT scans performed at 6 hours and 24 hours after injection. Any organ with >=2-fold higher accumulation of radiotracer, relative to the background uptake, will be considered positive.

    Measured: 6 hours and 24 hours

  5. Concentration of radiotracer in specific anatomic sites, for each subject and anatomic site

    Concentration of 124I-p5+14 will be derived from PET/CT scans performed at 6 hours and 24 hours after injection.

    Measured: 6 hours and 24 hours

  6. Organ and tissue-specific sensitivity of the 124I-p5+14 Injection radiotracer

    Sensitivity for each organ will be derived from the list of clinically involved organs (Secondary Measure 1) and the list of organ radioactivity uptake (Secondary Measure 4), using the formula, true positive rate = [True positive/(True positive + False negative)].

    Measured: 6 hours and 24 hours

  7. Correlation between concentration of the radiotracer (Bq/cc) in the kidney with organ-associated clinical biomarkers.

    Statistical correlation of kidney radiotracer uptake with proteinuria, albuminuria, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN).

    Measured: 6 hours and 24 hours

  8. Correlation between concentration of the radiotracer (Bq/cc) in the heart with organ-associated clinical biomarkers.

    Statistical correlation of heart radiotracer uptake with N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-BNP) or Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) serum levels, intraventricular septal thickness, and ejection fraction (measures as available from medical history)

    Measured: 6 hours and 24 hours

  9. Peptide uptake in the heart.

    Peptide uptake will be recorded as the Standard Uptake Value (SUV) or as Bq/cc of organ volume; obtained from the Region of Interest (ROI) analysis

    Measured: 6 hours and 24 hours

  10. Peptide uptake in the kidney

    Peptide uptake will be recorded as the Standard Uptake Value (SUV) or as Bq/cc of organ volume; obtained from the Region of Interest (ROI) analysis.

    Measured: 6 hours and 24 hours

  11. Peptide uptake in organ(s) other than kidney or heart if clinically relevant

    Peptide uptake will be recorded as the Standard Uptake Value (SUV) or as Bq/cc of organ volume; obtained from the Region of Interest (ROI) analysis

    Measured: 6 hours and 24 hours

  12. Correlation between uptake of peptide and clinical status of kidney, heart and other organs

    Correlation between uptake of peptide (from ROI measurements) and the clinical status of kidney, heart, and other organs if indicated (clinical status defined as in Secondary Endpoint 1).

    Measured: Baseline and 24 hours

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Organ-specific radioactivity dosimetry (Part 1). (time frame: Through 48 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03678259, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Mar 2022.
