New treatment option for Cardiac Amyloidosis
Official title [64Cu]FBP8 PET for Early Detection of Intracardiac Thrombus in Amyloid Cardiomyopathy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07560306
What this study is testing
What is [64Cu]FBP8 PET/MR?
[64Cu]FBP8 PET/MR is an investigational medicine, given as an injectable medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for cardiac amyloidosis.
Also referred to as No other names.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The primary goal of this pilot study is to determine whether [64Cu]FBP8, a novel fibrin-binding positron emission tomography (PET) probe, can identify intracardiac thrombi when paired with simultaneous hybrid cardiac PET/MRI in twenty (20) individuals with transthyretin or light chain cardiac amyloidosis and atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AF). The primary hypothesis of this study is that [64Cu]FBP8 PET/MRI can identify intracardiac thrombi in \>90% of subjects with confirmed intracardiac thrombi based on transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE).
