Study summary

This clinical trial will use the amyloid-binding radiotracer, 124I-evuzamitide, to potentially detect amyloid, in the heart and elsewhere, in patients who have a history of lumbar spinal stenosis and/or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, open label, pilot study using an amyloid-reactive peptide labeled with iodine-124 (124I-evuzamitide) and PET/CT imaging to detect the presence of cardiac and extracardiac amyloid in patients who have undergone surgical intervention for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) or carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and who have amyloid-positive connective tissue [ligamentum flavum (LF) in LSS patients or tenosynovium in CTS patients] assessed at the time of the corrective surgery.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Must be ≥ 60 years of age.
  • Must have given written (signed and dated) and any authorizations required by local law and be able to comply with all study requirements.
  • Must have a Congo red positive ligamentum flavum or tenosynovial specimen analysis after laminectomy or carpal tunnel release surgery that is visually categorized as either "extensive" amyloid load or "mild/moderate" amyloid load by an experienced reviewer.
  • Those with mild/moderate amyloid load in the connective tissue who also have a history of at least one other orthopedic clinical manifestation, including, but not limited to, carpal tunnel syndrome, lumbar spinal stenosis, trigger finger, biceps tendon rupture, and shoulder/hip/knee arthroplasty.
  • Females must be non-pregnant and non-lactating.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects on dialysis.
  • Subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis, other than musculoskeletal tissue.
  • Inability or unwillingness to comply with the study requirements.
  • Subjects taking heparin, or heparin derivatives (e.g. low molecular weight heparins) for anticoagulation.
  • Inability to lie still for \~40 minutes on the PET/CT scanner.
  • History of iodine (potassium iodide) allergy.
  • Other reason that would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

  • Experimental
    Biodistribution

    Participants will be administered \~1 mCi of 124I-evuzamitide (up to 1 mg of peptide) by IV push at a proposed rate of \~1 mL per 5 seconds. Three hours after injection, a PET/CT image acquisition from shoulder to thigh as well as a 10 min static PET image of the heart will be performed.

    Drug: 124I-evuzamitide

Interventions

  • Drug124I-evuzamitide

    124I-evuzamitide is an iodine-124 (124I) labeled 45 L-amino acid peptide (also known as p5+14) suitable for single dose PET/CT imaging. The peptide binds many forms of amyloid through multivalent electrostatic interactions with the amyloid fibril and with the ubiquitous amyloid-associated hypersulfated heparan sulfate proteoglycans.

    Also known as: AT-01

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Detection of cardiac amyloidosis using 124I-evuzamitide PET/CT imaging

    Cardiac PET/CT images will be classified as either positive or negative for 124I-evuzamitide uptake based on visual interpretation.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of study is 8 days.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Measure uptake of 124I-evuzamitide radioactivity in the heart and compare to biomarkers

    Measure cardiac 124I-evuzamitide uptake and compare to contemporaneous transthoracic echocardiographic parameters, serum NT-proBNP, and high sensitivity troponin T levels

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of study is 8 days.

  2. Measure uptake of 124I-evuzamitide radioactivity in the heart and compare to amyloid load in connective tissue

    Measure cardiac 124I-evuzamitide uptake and compare to the reported amyloid load, based on Congo red staining, in connective tissue (obtained from LSS or CTS surgery)

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of study is 8 days.

  3. Detection of extracardiac amyloid using 124I-evuzamitide PET/CT imaging

    Visual examination of extracardiac 124I-evuzamitide uptake in the PET/CT images

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of study is 8 days.
