This study will investigate 99mTc-p5+14, an amyloid-reactive synthetic peptide, p5+14, radiolabeled with technetium-99m, as a radiotracer for detecting paamyloid deposits in patients with AL or ATTR-associated systemic amyloidosis, notably with cardiac involvement.
The University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine (UTGSM) is investigating 99mTc-p5+14, an amyloid-reactive synthetic peptide, p5+14, radiolabeled with technetium-99m, as a radiotracer for planar gamma scintigraphy (PGS), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or SPECT with x-ray computed tomography (SPECT/CT) for the diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis, notably with cardiac involvement. Based on nonclinical data and clinical data of 124I-p5+14 from Study AMY1001, peptide p5+14 binds many types of human amyloid and is rapidly cleared from the central compartment. When radiolabeled with 99mTc, p5+14 may enable visualization of amyloid laden tissues and organs by SPECT/CT imaging or PGS. Thus, this study has been designed to evaluate the dosimetry and biodistribution of 99mTc-p5+14 in patients with systemic amyloidosis compared with the biodistribution in healthy volunteers.

PART 1
1) Understand the study procedures and agree to participate in the study by giving written informed consent..
2) Be male or female >18 years of age. 3) Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) (those who have not been surgically sterilized, are not postmenopausal [i.e., last menstrual period >2 years ago without pharmaceutical intervention], and women who are fertile) must have a negative pregnancy test prior within 24 h prior to infusion.
4) WOCBP who are not exclusively in same-sex relationships and male participants with female sexual partners who are WOCBP must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods, defined as use of a condom by the male partner combined with use of a highly effective method of contraception by the female partner, for at least 2.5 days after injection of 99mTc-p5+14.
5) Be a healthy volunteer (n=3) or have a confirmed diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis (n=2) based on either a histologic confirmation with a biopsy containing deposits of apple-green birefringent, Congophilic material with aberrant organ-specific biomarkers indicating amyloid involvement, physical examination, or imaging study.
6) Healthy volunteers must also meet inclusion criteria for Part 3. PART 2

PARTS 1-4
For dosimetry, healthy subjects (n=3) and patients with a confirmed diagnosis of AL (n=1) or ATTR amyloidosis (n=1) will be administered a single IV dose of up to 1 mg of 99mTc-p5+14 (\~20 mCi) by slow push (\~1 mL/5 sec.). Subjects will then undergo serial planar scintigraphic imaging at \~30 minutes, \~1 hour, \~2 hours, \~4 hours, \~6 hours, and \~24 hours post-injection. At the 4-hour time point, the subject will also undergo a single SPECT/CT scan to provide additional data for estimating dosimetry. Before injection of the radiotracer and at each imaging session, \~2 -3 mL of blood will be acquired to determine the whole blood radioactivity. An echo examination will also be performed. For physiological biodistribution, healthy volunteers (n=5) will undergo an echo examination, thereafter, they will be administered a single IV dose of 99mTc-p5+14 (20 mCi) and will undergo a planar image acquisition followed by SPECT/CT imaging at \~1 hour and \~3 hours post-injection.
Drug: 99mTc-p5+14 is an amyloid reactive peptide labeled with technetium-99m.
On Day 1, patients with a confirmed diagnosis of systemic AL or ATTR (with or without a positive PyP scan) will be administered a single IV dose of up to 1 mg of 99mTc-p5+14 (\~20 mCi) by slow push (\~1 mL/5 sec.). At \~1 hour and \~3 hours post-injection, patients will undergo whole body planar imaging followed by abdominothoracic SPECT/CT imaging. Vital signs (blood pressure, respiration rate, temperature, and pulse) will be acquired before injection of the 99mTc-p5+14, and at \~3 hours post injection. ECG measurements will be made within 1 hour prior to, and within 15 minutes after, injection. On Day 3, patient will undergo a trans thoracic echo examination. On Day 4, patients will undergo Technescan™ 99mTc-PYP (20 mCi) planar and SPECT/CT imaging at \~1 hour and \~3 hours post-injection. Vital signs (blood pressure, respiration rate, temperature, and pulse) will be acquired before injection of the 99mTc-PYP, and at \~3 hours post injection. ECG measurements will be made as on Day 1.

Peptide p5+14 is a pan-amyloid reactive, synthetic 45 L-amino acid polypeptide with a net +12 positive charge that can bind two major components of all extracellular amyloid deposits: (i) hypersulfated heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans (proteoglycans) and (ii) amyloid fibrils. The polypeptide, labeled with iodine-124, has been shown (study AMY1001) to bind amyloid in all organs including the heart. This study will evaluate a Tc-99m-labeled version of the peptide for gamma imaging.
99mTc-PYP is an FDA-approved, commercially available bone-seeking radiotracer used routinely in nuclear medicine. 99mTC-PYP imaging is used clinically for the diagnosis of cardiac ATTR amyloidosis.
