New scan spots hidden organ damage before symptoms start

NCT ID NCT07624760

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study explores whether a PET/MR scan using a radioactive tracer called 18F-Florbetaben can detect amyloid deposits—abnormal protein clumps that can damage organs—in people with certain blood disorders. Participants receive a single injection of the tracer followed by a whole-body scan. The goal is to see if this method can identify amyloid buildup early and without the need for tissue biopsies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

18F-Florbetaben (Neuraceq)

What this could lead to

If successful, this imaging method could allow earlier, non-invasive detection of organ damage in people with blood disorders, potentially improving treatment timing.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early observational study. The imaging agent may not reliably detect all amyloid deposits, and results may not apply to broader populations.
