About this study
Official title: A Follow-Up Study to Monitor Therapeutic Response in Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis Using Amyloid Reactive Peptide 124I-evuzamitide (AT01) PET/CT
This was a single center, prospective cohort study that is evaluating the ability of 124I-evuzamitide PET scanning to detect potential therapeutic changes in subjects under treatment for ATTR after one year had elapsed since their original 124I-evuzamitide PET scan.
Ten previously scanned subjects re-consented to undergo another 124I-evuzamitide PET scan. Demographic, clinical and phenotypic data were collected to characterize potential changes since their previous scans.
Read the detailed description
Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) causes progressive heart disease that is often overlooked. It harms the heart muscle because the unstable, unfurled amyloid proteins fold up into large pieces that get caught in between layers of heart tissue, causing amyloid deposits. The earlier it is detected, the better for the patient.
There is a need to improve the early diagnosis of this disease because echocardiography (sonograms of the heart) and cardiac MRI are not useful enough for this. There is an X-ray of the heart using a compound called PYP that can detect amyloid deposits earlier than ultrasound images or clinical signs, but it's not clear how early it does so. Also, it can't detect amyloid deposits outside the heart, which causes lots of pain and suffering in people with this disease.
In the first phase of this study the radiation compound, evuzamitide, was shown to detect amyloidosis in the heart of selected subjects. So, the investigators used it to detect potential therapeutic changes in 10 subjects undergoing treatment for Transthyretin Amyloidosis.
Changes in the uptake of evuzamitide were compared between subjects treated on stabilizer only, subjects treated on silencer only and subjects treated with two different combinations of stabilizer plus silencer

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Median of Uptake of Evuzamitide as Measured by Volume of Interest in Milliliters
Volumes of interest (VOIs) were manually traced on PET emission images fused with CT images to define the left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) contours, including cavity blood pool. Blood pool activity concentration was measured in a 10-mm-diameter left atrial spherical VOI. For 124I-evuzamitide, we used a threshold of mean + 2 standard deviations of blood pool activity concentration.
Measured: Up to one month after imaging
Median of Change in Evuzamitide Uptake as Measured by Percentage Change in Injected Dose (%ID)
Median percentage change in injected dose (%ID), calculated as VOI mean activity concentration x VOI volume/injected activity.
Measured: Up to one month after imaging
Median of Uptake of Evuzamitide as Measured by Cardiac Amyloid Activity (CAA) in Grams
Cardiac amyloid activity (CAA) in grams is measured as VOI mean standardized uptake value times VOI volume. Standardized uptake value was defined as mean or maximal VOI activity concentration/(injected activity/bodyweight), while target-to-background ratio was considered VOI mean activity concentration/blood pool mean activity concentration. VOI volume was manually traced on PET emission images fused with CT images.
Measured: Up to one month after imaging

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 17 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 18 Jul 2025. 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?
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jul 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Median of Uptake of Evuzamitide as Measured by Volume of Interest in Milliliters (time frame: Up to one month after imaging). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05635045, 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 18 Jul 2025.
