Wrist MRI may spot hidden amyloid clumps without needles
NCT ID NCT05150353
First seen Jun 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tested whether a special MRI scan of the wrist can detect amyloid deposits in people with systemic amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in organs. Researchers enrolled 128 adults, including patients with cardiac amyloidosis and healthy volunteers. The goal was to see if MRI mapping could non-invasively identify amyloid in the wrist, potentially offering a simpler way to diagnose the disease.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a non-invasive way to detect amyloid deposits in the wrist, potentially aiding earlier diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The MRI technique may not be accurate enough for routine use, and results may not apply to all types of amyloidosis.
