PET/CT Imaging for Amyloid in CAPS on Anakinra
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan to see if a radioactive tracer can measure changes in amyloid buildup in people with CAPS who have developed a skin reaction to anakinra. It may help doctors understand how the disease is affecting your organs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are currently in another NIH study for CAPS (protocol 17-I-0016) and have been diagnosed with MWS or NOMID.
- You agree to share your data from this study with that other NIH study.
- You have developed thickened skin where you get your anakinra injections.
- If you can become pregnant or get someone pregnant, you agree to use two effective birth control methods (one barrier method) starting 28 days before the scan and continuing for 90 days after.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not on dialysis or taking blood thinners like heparin.

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 Phase 2 study tests an iodine-based scan medicine to help learn how systemic amyloidosis affects the body and organs. It may help doctors better characterize the disease using specific imaging tests.
This trial uses heart scans to see how the drug acoramidis affects heart structure and function in people with a specific type of heart disease called ATTR cardiomyopathy. It may help doctors understand if the treatment is working.
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 trial is testing whether a special scan (beta-amyloid PET/CT) can help detect abnormal protein clumps in the brain that are linked to certain diseases, including cancer. The scan might help doctors better understand and track these conditions.
This trial tests a special scan that uses a radioactive tracer to look for amyloid protein deposits in people who have had surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine in the lower back) or carpal tunnel syndrome. The goal is to see if the scan can detect these deposits, which may be linked to ongoing orthopedic issues.
