Trial summary

Cardiac amyloidosis is a common cause of refractory cardiomyopathy and heart failure in an adult population. There are several types of cardiac amyloidosis, but two are the most common (1): A. AL - Light chain sunset. B. ATTR - Sunset of transthyretin protein. This amyloidosis has two subtypes: 1. Read more about this study

About this study

Cardiac amyloidosis is a common cause of refractory cardiomyopathy and heart failure in an adult population. There are several types of cardiac amyloidosis, but two are the most common (1):

  1. AL - Light chain sunset.
  2. ATTR - Sunset of transthyretin protein. This amyloidosis has two subtypes:
  3. Hereditary / familial - due to genetic mutation
  4. Senile / Wild-type (WT) - Acquired with age

The main goal of this study is to evaluate cardiac amyloidosis imaging efficiency using 18F-NaF PET / CT and quantification of absorption [in standard uptake value SUVs]. and to compare cardiac amyloidosis imaging using 18F-NaF PET / CT and gamma camera imaging with 99mTc-PYP.

Read the detailed description

PET imaging has advantages over gamma imaging, including better resolution, faster and easier testing, and the ability to quantify the absorption intensity. These PET capabilities, potentially, detect subtle differences in disease burden between different heart segments and, subsequently, track response to treatment.

Research Duration:

The entire duration of the study will take about one year (or until all participants in the study complete the tests), As part of the study, tests will be conducted for 20 subjects.

Program details and research steps:

  • The study is a prospective study.
  • The research was done in collaboration with Prof. Eyal Masheni, Director of the Cyclotron and Radiochemistry Unit at Hadassah Hospital, which will provide twenty doses of 18F-NaF.
  • For the Cyclotron and Radiochemistry Unit in Hadassah Hospital, a license to operate as a radiopharmaceutical pharmacy on behalf of the Ministry of Health, and thus valid, a blanket approval by the Ministry of Health to use the materials manufactured therein.

Research phases:

  1. Patients will undergo clinical and laboratory evaluation, as well as imaging tests, at the discretion of the treating cardiologist, even before being referred for examination within the study. At this stage, patients will be recruited for the study and given an explanation of the tests that will be passed. If necessary, patients will be referred to the Institute of Nuclear Medicine for more information.
  2. The test will be performed on the Discovery 690 Nuclear Medicine Camera.
  3. On the day of the examination, the examiner will be admitted to the Office of the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and will be admitted to administrative. Prior to the test, the subject will undergo a brief interview by a physician or nurse and a 22 G Prefill will be installed on him, through which a 5 millikiric (mCi) of 18 F-NaF will be injected.
  4. An hour after the injection, the PET / CT test, which will last for about 10 minutes, will be performed during which the patient is required to rest comfortably and breathe normally.
  5. Upon completion of the mapped examination, the home will be released without any restrictions.
  6. Continued clinical follow-up will be done by the attending cardiologist.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing F18-NaF PET/CT in people with Cardiac Amyloidosis, run by Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 31 Oct 2019. 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 Israel. 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 Ira korovin (036974373, irako@tlvmc.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluating cardiac amyloidosis imaging efficiency using 18F-NaF PET / CT and quantifying the extent of absorption in SUV standard uptake value (time frame: 1 year). 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 31 Oct 2019.
