Molecular Imaging of Myocardial Fibrosis in Cardiac Amyloidosis

Cardiac Amyloidosis

The primary aim of our pilot study is to determine whether fibrosis in the heart can be measured with [68Ga]CBP8, a positron emission tomography (PET) probe, using PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging, in 30 individuals with documented cardiac amyloidosis. The investigators will also enroll 15 individuals with recent myocardial infarction and 15 individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as positive controls for fibrosis, and the investigators will enroll 5 individuals without cardiovascular disease to undergo [68Ga]CBP8 PET/MRI imaging as a healthy control group. The primary hypothesis of this study is that [68Ga]CBP8 will bind to interstitial collagen and quantify myocardial fibrosis in patients with cardiac amyloidosis. The investigators hypothesize that [68Ga]CBP8 uptake will be greater in patients with cardiac amyloidosis, myocardial fibrosis, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy than in healthy controls. Secondly, the investigators also hypothesize that [68Ga]CBP8 activity more strongly correlates with standard MRI measures in patients with recent myocardial infarction and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (where extracellular expansion is caused by myocardial fibrosis/collagen deposition) than in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (where myocardial fibrosis is combined with infiltration).

A Phase 1 Study of 99mTc-p5+14 in Healthy Volunteers and Patients With AL or ATTR Systemic Amyloidosis...

Systemic Amyloidosis

This study will investigate 99mTc-p5+14, an amyloid-reactive synthetic peptide, p5+14, radiolabeled with technetium-99m, as a radiotracer for detecting paamyloid deposits in patients with AL or ATTR-associated systemic amyloidosis, notably with cardiac involvement.

Molecular Imaging of Primary Amyloid Cardiomyopathy

AmyloidosisPrimary1 more

Cardiac amyloidosis is a major cause of early treatment-related death and poor overall survival in individuals with systemic light chain amyloidosis. This project will develop a novel approach to visualize cardiac amyloid deposits using advanced imaging methods. The long-term goal of this work is to identify the mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction, in order to guide the development of novel life-saving treatments.

Exploring Biomarkers in Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis

Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis

Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv, v for variant) is a severe and heterogeneous systemic condition due to mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene. The availability of disease-modifying therapies has led to an urgent need to have reliable biomarkers capable of assessing the clinical severity of the disease and of monitoring the efficacy of pharmacological treatment. At the same time, early markers for the clinical onset of ATTRv amyloidosis in presymptomatic subjects are needed to enable earlier initiation of anti-amyloid therapy. In this project the investigators seek to achieve three main goals: to identify and validate disease severity biomarkers in symptomatic patients; to establish disease onset biomarkers of ATTRv amyloidosis in presymptomatic subjects; to explore new pathogenetic mechanisms underlying this multisystem disorder, such as mitochondrial dysfunction and immune response.

Characterizing Iodine-124 Evuzumitide (AT-01) in Systemic Amyloidosis

AmyloidosisTransthyretin Amyloidosis

This is a single center prospective study evaluating 124I-evuzumitide in patients with systemic amyloidosis. The purpose of this study is to 1)identify and characterize the distribution and uptake of 124I-evuzumitide in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) and 2) Correlate the uptake with the structure and function of different organs, including the heart. To achieve these goals, eligible patients will undergo primarily hybrid positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI). In a subgroup of patients who are unable to undergo PET/MR, computed tomography will be used instead of MRI (i.e. PET/CT). In a subgroup of patients, repeat imaging with the same modality will be done at a interval of 6-12 months. Clinically available data (demographics, phenotype, imaging, laboratory) will also be collected to characterize the disease in each patient.

Amyloidosis TTR Flow Reserve Evaluation

Amyloid Cardiomyopathy

Anginal symptoms and signs of ischemia have been reported in some patients with cardiac amyloidosis (TTR) without obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD). It was found that coronary microvascular dysfunction was highly prevalent in subjects with cardiac amyloidosis, even in the absence of epicardial CAD. The investigators found lower stress and rest myocardial blood flow (MBF) and lower myocardial flow reserve (MFR) in their cardiac PET (Positron emission tomography) study (13N), including 21 patients. The advances in SPECT technology including cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detectors allow to evaluate the MBF and MFR estimation by SPECT as shown in both experimental animal models and also in clinical studies with comparison to PET. SPECT is more widely available than cardiac PET. Thus, the investigators would like: to confirm the results of Dorbala et al using SPECT, and to go further with evaluation of the effect of Tafamidis on microvascular dysfunction.

Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis With Polyneuropthy

The objective of the study is to characterize adverse events (AEs) occurring within one day of TEGSEDI administration to adult patients with hATTR-PN overall and in individual patients with respect to time course of AE onset, vital sign changes, preventive measures, treatment required, risk factors, and subsequent adverse outcomes.

Molecular Imaging of the Underlying Mechanism of Cardiotoxicity in Patients With Light Chain Amyloidosis...

Cardiac Amyloidosis

The research study is being conducted to test how two different types of Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) scans could be used to image a type of heart disorder called amyloidosis (AL). There will be two groups in the study. One group will have PET/CT scans using an imaging drug called 18F-NOS and the other group will have PET/CT scans using a drug called Florbetaben. subject will be assigned to one of the groups when she/he agrees to be in the study.
