Trial summary

Systemic amyloidosis is a multi-system disease caused by extracellular deposition of insoluble amyloid fibrils in various tissues and organs, leading to progressive organ dysfunction. The clinical manifestations of different types of amyloidosis are complex and diverse, and the prognosis is very poor. Read more about this study

About this study

Systemic amyloidosis is a multi-system disease caused by extracellular deposition of insoluble amyloid fibrils in various tissues and organs, leading to progressive organ dysfunction. The clinical manifestations of different types of amyloidosis are complex and diverse, and the prognosis is very poor. Early detection and classification of amyloid deposition is becoming increasingly important. However, conventional imaging techniques including ultrasound and magnetic resonance are not sensitive or specific. Endocardial biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis, but it is an invasive procedure with a clinical complication rate of 6%.

Positron emission tomography (PET) provides a valuable tool for diagnosing systemic amyloidosis. Recently, amyloid PET imaging agents (11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir) have been shown to be effective as novel positron tracers to detect potential amyloid deposition in some small sample studies. The investigators will use the most advanced imaging equipment, integrated PET/MR with amyloid PET imaging agents(11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir) to image patients suspected or confirmed systemic amyloidosis, the aim is to explore the value of hybrid PET/MR for systemic amyloidosis.

Positron emission tomography (PET) provides a valuable tool for diagnosing systemic amyloidosis. Recently, amyloid PET imaging agents (11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir) have been shown to be effective as novel positron tracers to detect potential amyloid deposition in multiple organs in some small sample studies. The investigators will use the most advanced imaging equipment, integrated PET/MR with amyloid PET imaging agents(11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir) to image patients suspected or confirmed systemic amyloidosis, the aim is to explore the value of hybrid PET/MR for systemic amyloidosis.

For patients suspected of or diagnosed with systemic amyloidosis, the investigators aim to evaluate the roles of hybrid PET/MR in differential diagnosis, detecting the deposition of amyloid in various tissues and organs of the body, guiding biopsy, and determining treatment plan prior to treatment; for the patients with a history of systemic amyloidosis, the aim is to evaluate the value of hybrid PET/MR for treatment response assessment.

Being tested
11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir PET/MR before biopsy and treatment, 11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir PET/MR after treatment

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir PET/MRPatients suspected of or diagnosed with systemic amyloidosis will be scanned by 11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir PET/MR twice. One is before biopsy and treatment, and the other is after at least half a year of treatment.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: 11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir PET/MR before biopsy and treatment; Diagnostic Test: 11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir PET/MR after treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity and specificity per patient analysis

    For patient without any treatment, detection and initial diagnosis, results of 11C-PiB or 18F-florbetapir PET/MR will be compared to histopathological, clinical, laboratory, radiological evidence and follow-up result.

    Measured: up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Sensitivity and specificity per organ analysis

    For patient without any treatment, detection and initial diagnosis, results of 11C-PiB or 18F-florbetapir PET/MR will be compared to histopathological, clinical, laboratory, radiological evidence and follow-up result.

    Measured: up to 2 years

  2. Change after treatment

    For patient after treatment, change of PET/MR scan and clinical/radiological/histopathological indices.

    Measured: up to 2 years

  3. Correlation with severity

    Correlation of 11C-PiB or 18F-florbetapir uptake with clinical/radiological/histopathological indices of amyloidosis severity.

    Measured: up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systemic Amyloidosis and PET/MR, run by Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology at 1 site in China.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2023. 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 China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xiaoli Lan, MD, PhD (+86-13886193262, lxl730724@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity and specificity per patient analysis (time frame: up to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Feb 2023.
