What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether PET/CT scans using special radioactive tracers can detect amyloid protein buildup in various diseases, including cardiac amyloidosis. Researchers will give each participant a single injection of one of several tracers, then perform imaging to measure how much tracer accumulates in suspected areas. The goal is to see if these scans can accurately identify amyloid deposits, which could improve diagnosis without needing invasive biopsies. The study enrolls adults with suspected or confirmed amyloid-related conditions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Radioactive tracers (18F-92, AV45, TPZA, FT8, 11C-PIB) injected intravenously for PET/CT imaging
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more accurate, non-invasive way to diagnose amyloid-related diseases, potentially replacing biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is an early diagnostic study, and the tracers may not clearly distinguish amyloid types or may produce false positives. Results need validation in larger, diverse groups.
