124I-Evuzamitide for Amyloidosis
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new treatment called 124I-Evuzamitide (also known as AT-01 or Iodine-124 Evuzamitide) for individuals with systemic amyloidosis, a condition that can affect the heart and other organs. Researchers aim to determine how the body absorbs this treatment and its impact on organ health. Participants will undergo imaging tests such as PET/MRI or PET/CT to monitor the treatment's effects. Ideal candidates for this trial include those with systemic amyloidosis or related conditions, like transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, who can commit to these procedures. As a Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on assessing the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of participants.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you should not have received heparin or similar medications within 7 days before the study drug is given.
Is there any evidence suggesting that 124I-Evuzamitide is likely to be safe for humans?
A previous study tested 124I-evuzamitide to determine its safety and effectiveness in detecting heart problems related to amyloidosis. The study found that this imaging agent is generally safe for use, with no major safety issues reported, indicating good tolerance. Another study supported these findings, showing that 124I-evuzamitide successfully detected amyloid in various organs, such as the heart, kidney, liver, and spleen, in over 90% of patients with systemic amyloidosis. This evidence suggests that the treatment is safe and effective for its intended purpose.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike the standard of care for ATTR-CM, which often includes medications to stabilize the protein transthyretin or heart transplant in advanced cases, 124I-Evuzamitide is unique because it uses a radioactive tracer to visualize amyloid deposits in the heart. This new approach allows for hybrid PET/MRI or PET/CT imaging, offering a more detailed and dynamic view of the disease's progression and response to treatment. Researchers are excited because this method could provide a non-invasive way to monitor amyloidosis more accurately and potentially guide treatment decisions, improving patient outcomes.
What evidence suggests that 124I-Evuzamitide might be an effective treatment for amyloidosis?
Research has shown that 124I-evuzamitide, the investigational agent in this trial, is a promising tool for detecting amyloid deposits in the body. One study demonstrated its high accuracy in identifying amyloid in the heart, effectively detecting the disease. Other results indicate it is 100% accurate in diagnosing heart-related amyloidosis, proving its reliability. The agent also appeared in organs like the heart, kidney, liver, and spleen in over 90% of patients with widespread amyloidosis. These findings suggest that 124I-evuzamitide effectively identifies amyloid deposits and could help doctors understand how the disease affects different organs.35678
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for people with systemic amyloidosis, specifically those who have a mutation in the transthyretin gene and known organ involvement. It's also open to patients with multiple myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. People can't join if they're allergic to potassium iodide or gadolinium, have severe kidney issues, recently used heparin products, or can't complete imaging procedures due to claustrophobia or other conditions.Inclusion Criteria
