Test-Retest PET Scan Study for Heart Amyloidosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special PET scan tracer to see how consistent the images are in people with heart amyloidosis (a buildup of abnormal protein in the heart) and in people without the condition. The goal is to improve diagnosis and monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older.
- You have a diagnosis of cardiac AL or ATTR amyloidosis, or you are in a control group without the condition.
- You are not currently on or have not recently received amyloid-targeting antibody therapy.
- You can lie flat for up to 60 minutes for the scan.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or on dialysis.

This study tests a new PET imaging agent that may help doctors see amyloid buildup in the heart more clearly. It may help people with heart amyloidosis or those suspected of having it.
This study tests a new PET imaging tracer called [18F]FT8 to see if it can better detect amyloid protein buildup in the heart. It may help doctors diagnose and monitor cardiac amyloidosis more accurately.
This study uses a hybrid PET/MRI scanner to take detailed images of the heart in people with amyloidosis. The goal is to see how well this scan shows the buildup of amyloid protein, which could help doctors better diagnose and manage the condition.
This trial is testing a special PET/CT scan (Pan-Amyloid) that finds abnormal protein deposits (amyloid) in the heart and body. It is for people who have or may have cardiac amyloidosis and are already planning to get this scan.
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.
This study tests a new type of imaging scan ([64Cu]FBP8 PET) to detect blood clots that may form in the heart's left atrial appendage (a small pouch in the heart) in patients with amyloid cardiomyopathy (a disease where abnormal protein builds up in heart muscle) who also have irregular heartbeat. The scan may help doctors catch clots earlier and prevent strokes.
