Ultrasound treatment for heart amyloidosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies whether ultrasound therapy can help people with amyloidosis that affects the heart. It’s aimed at improving heart-related outcomes in AL or transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult: over 18 for AL amyloidosis, or over 65 for ATTR amyloidosis (or control group).
- You have confirmed amyloidosis involving the heart, based on approved test results (blood/biopsy plus heart-specific findings).
- Your heart tests are abnormal in a way the study is looking for (blood “cardiac markers,” echocardiogram thickness, or heart MRI findings).
- You can give informed consent and are medically stable enough to complete the treatment visits.
- You can safely lie flat for about 1 hour during the study (not decompensated heart failure).
- You do not have key exclusions like severe lung disease, major valve problems, severe pulmonary pressure problems, or prior heart surgery.

This study uses heart imaging to track disease progression in people with ATTR cardiac amyloidosis who are about to start tafamidis treatment. It aims to understand how the disease changes over time.
This study enrolls patients suspected of having or recently diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis—a condition where abnormal protein deposits thicken the heart muscle. Researchers will use imaging tests like echocardiography and MRI to better understand the disease and track how it changes over time, which may improve future treatment options.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise training program is safe and helpful for people with transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis. It may help improve fitness and daily functioning, and it may also compare groups for specific eligibility needs.
This study uses a new imaging technique (PET scan with a tracer called evuzamitide) to detect a type of heart disease called cardiac amyloidosis in patients whose standard heart scans were unclear but who have elevated levels of a new blood marker (TAD1). The goal is to find a better way to diagnose this condition.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise and rehabilitation program can help people with a specific type of heart amyloidosis (ATTRwt) feel better and improve their heart function. It may be a good fit if you have stable heart failure and can safely exercise.
This study looks at how a type of heart condition called transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis changes over time, using a special imaging test called a bone scan. The goal is to see if the scan can help track the disease and potentially improve care.
