About this study
Official title: A Test-retest Study to Evaluate the Reproducibility of [18F]Florbetaben PET Imaging in Patients With Cardiac Amyloidosis and Control Patients
This study is an open-label study to evaluate and characterize test-retest reliability of [18F]florbetaben PET in subjects with AL-CA and ATTR-CA compared to non-CA subjects. Quantification of the [18F]florbetaben parameters related to the deposition of amyloid in the heart (such as Myocardial Tracer Retention (MTR) or Retention Index (RI)), and the variability in these parameters after repeated imaging will be evaluated. Measurement of blood metabolites and comparison of invasive with non-invasive quantification of [18F]florbetaben uptake in the heart will be performed.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Florbetaben F18Drug
Florbetaben F18 is a radioactive diagnostic agent being developed for the indication of PET imaging of the heart to detect amyloid pathology. All patients will receive two administrations of Florbetaben F18 at a radioactive dose of 300 megabecquerel (MBq).

|---|---|---|
| Patients with cardiac disease | Experimental | All eligible AL, ATTR and non-CA patients will receive two injections of the investigational imaging agent florbetaben: at a baseline PET imaging session and at a follow-up PET imaging session to evaluate the test-retest imaging characteristics. 5 patients of each group will be required. Receives: Drug: Florbetaben F18 |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Florbetaben F18 in people with Cardiac Amyloidosis, run by Lantheus Germany GmbH at 2 sites in United Kingdom.
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 13 inclusion and 10 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 23 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United Kingdom. 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 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.
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?
Test-Retest variability of cardiac [18F]florbetaben PET uptake (time frame: The duration of the study for participants may be up to 73 days.). 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 23 Oct 2026.
