New scan could reveal hidden organ damage without a biopsy
NCT ID NCT06974877
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a radioactive tracer called 124I-AT-01 that binds to amyloid clumps in the body. Researchers want to see if PET/CT scans can detect amyloidosis in organs of people with CAPS who developed it from anakinra injections. Thirty adults will be scanned every 6 months for 2 years. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to track amyloid buildup over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 124I-AT-01 (a radioactive tracer for PET/CT scans)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a non-invasive way to detect and monitor amyloid deposits in organs, reducing the need for biopsies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early phase 1 study with only 30 participants. The tracer may not reliably detect amyloid changes, and there is a small risk of inflammatory flare in people with CAPS.

* INCLUSION CRITERIA: An individual must meet all the following criteria to be eligible for this study: 1. Aged 18 years and older. 2. Currently enrolled on NIH protocol 17-I-0016 with a documented diagnosis of MWS or NOMID. 3. Agree to allow data collected in this study to be shared with and stored on NIH protocol 17-I-0016 for that study s research analyses. 4. Developed skin thickening at the site of anakinra injection. 5. Participants who can become pregnant or who can impregnate their partner must agree to use 2 highly effective methods of contraception, at least 1 of which must be a barrier method, when engaging in sexual activities that can result in pregnancy, beginning 28 days prior to baseline until 90 days after the last PET/CT scan. Acceptable methods of contraception include the following: 1. Barrier methods: * External or internal condom with spermicide. * Diaphragm or cervical cap with a spermicide. 2. Non-barrier methods: * Hormonal contraception. * Intrauterine device. * Hysterectomy, oophorectomy, or tubal ligation in women * Vasectomy in men 3. Other. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Known hypersensitivity to 124I-AT-01, AT-01, or any of their excipients. 2. Known hypersensitivity to KI. 3. Pregnant or breastfeeding. 4. Currently receiving dialysis. 5. Currently taking heparin or heparin derivatives (eg, low molecular weight heparins) or other blood thinners for anticoagulation. 6. Any condition that, in the opinion of the study team, contraindicates participation in this study.
