124I-Evuzamitide for Amyloidosis
Trial Summary
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.
Research on similar treatments, like iodine-131 tositumomab, shows that radioimmunotherapy can be effective in treating certain types of lymphoma, with some patients experiencing long-lasting remissions. This suggests that using a similar approach with 124I-Evuzamitide might also be effective for amyloidosis, although direct evidence for this specific condition is not provided.
12345124I-Evuzamitide is unique because it is a radiotracer that can bind to amyloid deposits from multiple types of amyloid proteins, allowing for non-invasive and quantitative detection of amyloid throughout the body using PET/CT imaging. This approach is novel compared to traditional methods, which often rely on indirect measurements and are less effective in early diagnosis and monitoring of amyloidosis.
678910Eligibility Criteria
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

Trial Timeline
Screening
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial
Baseline Imaging
Participants undergo hybrid 124I-Evuzamitide PET/MRI imaging (or PET/CT) to evaluate distribution and uptake
Follow-up Imaging
In a subgroup of patients, repeat imaging with the same modality will be done at an interval of 6-12 months
Follow-up
Participants are monitored for safety and effectiveness after imaging
