New scan could reveal hidden organ damage without a biopsy
NCT ID NCT06974877

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.
