Study summary

This observational study will evaluate the imaging performance of the investigational positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer[18F]Fluselenamyl (FSA) in individuals with cardiac amyloidosis. The study aims to determine whether [18F]Fluselenamyl PET imaging can detect and characterize amyloid deposits in the heart.

Participants will undergo PET imaging following administration of [18F]Fluselenamyl, along with clinical assessments and other study procedures as needed. Imaging results will be used to assess tracer uptake in the heart and to evaluate the potential of [18F]Fluselenamyl as a noninvasive tool for detecting cardiac amyloidosis. The study will also collect safety information, including clinical assessments, laboratory testing, and monitoring for adverse events. This research may help establish [18F]Fluselenamyl as a novel imaging biomarker for cardiac amyloidosis.

Read the detailed description

Cardiac amyloidosis is a progressive disorder characterized by the deposition of misfolded amyloid proteins within the myocardium, leading to increased ventricular wall thickness, impaired cardiac function, heart failure, arrhythmias, and reduced survival. Early and accurate detection of cardiac amyloid deposits is important for diagnosis, treatment selection, and monitoring of disease progression. Current diagnostic approaches often require a combination of imaging studies, laboratory testing, and, in some cases, invasive tissue biopsy.

[18F]Fluselenamyl (FSA) is an investigational positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer that binds to amyloid fibrils and has shown promise for imaging amyloid deposition. This study is being conducted to evaluate the imaging characteristics of [18F]Fluselenamyl in individuals with cardiac amyloidosis and to determine its potential utility as a noninvasive imaging biomarker for cardiac amyloid burden. The investigation is based on prior development and human imaging experience with [18F]Fluselenamyl as an amyloid-targeting PET radiotracer.

Participants with known or suspected cardiac amyloidosis will undergo PET imaging following intravenous administration of [18F]Fluselenamyl. Additional study procedures may include medical history review, physical examination, laboratory testing, electrocardiography, and collection of safety data before and after tracer administration. Imaging data will be analyzed to characterize tracer uptake within the myocardium and to assess the ability of [18F]Fluselenamyl PET to identify cardiac amyloid deposition. Safety assessments will include monitoring for adverse events, vital signs, clinical laboratory values, and other clinically relevant findings.

The results of this study may support the development of [18F]Fluselenamyl as a novel PET imaging agent for the noninvasive detection and evaluation of cardiac amyloidosis and may provide information that could improve diagnosis, disease characterization, and future assessment of therapeutic response

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

  • Male or Female, any race
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Confirmed CA, clinical suspicion for CA, or markers of potential CA (i.e. left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure)
  • Willing and able to undergo [F18]-FSA PET scan, and cardiac MRI

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Incapable of providing written or lacking a legally authorized representative (LAR) to provide informed consent
  • Unwilling or unable to undergo PET scan tracer injections
  • Participants with chronic liver diseases not related to amyloidosis
  • Participant has any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, could increase the risk to the participant, limit the participant's ability to tolerate the research procedures or interfere with the collection/analysis of the data (e.g., participants with severe chronic back pain might not be able to lie still for the duration of the scanning procedures)
  • Has to [F-18]-Fluselenamyl or any of its
  • to MRI (e.g. electronic medical devices that are not compatible with MRI, inability to lie still for extended periods that make it unsafe for the individual to participate)
  • Contraindication to contrast (gadolinium) MRI given a (GFR) of the kidney\<30ml/min/1.7m2). In such case, only non-contrast MRI may be considered.
  • Severe claustrophobia
  • Currently pregnant or breast-feeding
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

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.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 18, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
