A Phase 1 Study of 99mTc-p5+14 in Healthy Volunteers and Patients With AL or ATTR Systemic Amyloidosis

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new imaging agent called 99mTc-p5+14, which is designed to help doctors detect amyloid deposits in the body. Amyloidosis is a condition where abnormal proteins build up in organs like the heart, which can cause serious health issues. By using this special imaging agent, researchers hope to improve the way amyloidosis is diagnosed, especially in patients with heart involvement. The study is open to both healthy volunteers and patients diagnosed with AL or ATTR systemic amyloidosis, and they must be over 18 years old.

To participate, individuals need to meet certain criteria, such as having a confirmed diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis and being in good overall health. Participants will receive the imaging agent and then undergo specific imaging tests to see how well it works. Throughout the study, they will be closely monitored for safety. It’s also important to note that women who can become pregnant or their partners must take precautions to avoid pregnancy during the study. This trial is a step towards enhancing diagnostic methods for a challenging condition, potentially leading to better care for those affected by amyloidosis.

• • 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. Have a confirmed diagnosis of systemic AL amyloidosis 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. Have a diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis within 2 years of screening. PART 2
• • 1) Understand the study procedures and agree to participate in the study by giving written informed consent as described in Section 10.1 - Appendix 1.
• • 2) Be male or female \>18 years of age. 3) 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.
