About this study

Official title: 18F-Florbetaben (Neuraceq®) PET/MRI Evaluation of Cardiac Amyloid

Cardiac amyloidosis is a disorder characterized by the deposition of abnormal proteins called amyloid in the heart tissue. This makes it difficult for the heart to function properly. The investigators wish to evaluate if the radiopharmaceutical 18F-Florbetaben (Neuraceq®) that targets beta amyloid can also identify cardiac amyloid deposition.

Read the detailed description

The use of hybrid positron emission tomography/ magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) scanners in clinical practice enhance the ability to evaluate the heart from both an anatomical and functional perspective. It is hypothesized that an increased PET signal of 18F-Florbetaben (Neuraceq®) will be detected in cardiac amyloid deposits within the heart tissue, while the MRI provides the anatomical information. The ability to reliably and non-invasively image amyloid deposition in the heart would be potentially advantageous in the following scenarios:

  1. Diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis
  2. Decreasing unnecessary invasive myocardial procedures.

The investigators believe this trial will help expand the use of current PET amyloid tracers and help many patients who currently undergo myocardial biopsy for the diagnosis of cardiac amyloid.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 18F-Florbetaben (Neuraceq®) PET/MRIDrug

    Administration of 8.0 mCi 18F-Florbetaben (Neuraceq®) IV followed by simultaneous acquisition PET emission and cardiac MRI sequence scan 45-60 minutes post-injection.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
18F-Florbetaben (Neuraceq®) PET/MRIExperimentalParticipants with known or suspected cardiac amyloidosis will be injected with 8 mCi of 18F-Florbetaben (Neuraceq®) and undergo the PET/MRI image acquisition 45-60 minute post-injection. PET and MRI data will be acquired simultaneously to ensure optimal timing and spatial correspondence between MRI and PET data. Total scan time will take approximately 60 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with 18F-Florbetaben (Neuraceq®) uptake on Fused PET/MRI Images

    Diffuse (widespread), focal (point) and focal-on-diffuse (combination of the two) patterns of 18F-Florbetaben uptake will be considered positive findings indicating cardiac amyloidosis

    Measured: an estimated average of 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing 18F-Florbetaben (Neuraceq®) PET/MRI in people with Cardiac Amyloidosis, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 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 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 phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Number of participants with 18F-Florbetaben (Neuraceq®) uptake on Fused PET/MRI Images (time frame: an estimated average of 2 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 NCT03119558, 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 17 Jul 2019.
