A new scan aims to watch amyloid deposits in the body over time
NCT ID NCT05968846
First seen Sep 02, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special PET/CT scan can measure changes in amyloid deposits in organs of people with systemic amyloidosis. Participants receive an injection of a radiolabeled peptide that binds to amyloid, then undergo imaging at different times. Researchers compare the scan results with each person's disease status to see if the imaging can track organ-specific amyloid load. The goal is to develop a noninvasive way to monitor disease progression and response to treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- An injectable peptide (124I-AT-01, also called evuzamitide) that binds to amyloid deposits and is visible on PET/CT scans.
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this imaging method could let doctors monitor amyloid buildup in organs over time, helping guide treatment decisions without repeated biopsies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small Phase 2 study, so the imaging changes may not reliably match disease status. The peptide involves radiation exposure from the iodine-124 label, and results may not apply to all amyloidosis types.

Inclusion Criteria: * Must have given written informed consent (signed and dated) and any authorizations required by local law and be able to comply with all study requirements. * Must have a diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis based on the patient's medical record. * Must have undergone PET/CT imaging with 124I-AT-01 as part of the AMY1001 study (IND #132282) with visually positive uptake of radiotracer in at least one abdominothoracic organ. * Must have been imaged with 124I-AT-01 as part of the AMY1001 study (IND #132282) more than 12 months prior to repeat imaging. * Females: must be non-pregnant and non-lactating and either: surgically sterile (e.g., tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy); post-menopausal (defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea in females \> 55 years of age or, in females ≤ 55 years, 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea without an alternative medical cause and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the post-menopausal range for the laboratory involved). Exclusion Criteria: * Disabling dementia or other mental or behavioral disease. * Patients on dialysis. * Inability or unwillingness to comply with the study requirements. * Patients taking heparin, or heparin derivatives (e.g. low molecular weight heparins) for anticoagulation. * Other reason that would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study. * Inability to lie still for 60 minutes on the PET/CT scanner. * History of iodine (potassium iodide) allergy. * Positive ADA finding defined as significantly higher than normal human serum mean values AND with a mean value at least five times greater than the mean value of the normal human serum control.
