Test-retest Study With [18F]FBB in Cardiac Amyloidosis (CATI)

July 31, 2026 updated by: Lantheus Germany GmbH

A Test-retest Study to Evaluate the Reproducibility of [18F]Florbetaben PET Imaging in Patients With Cardiac Amyloidosis and Control Patients

This study is an open-label study to evaluate and characterize test-retest reliability of [18F]florbetaben PET in subjects with AL-CA and ATTR-CA compared to non-CA subjects. Quantification of the [18F]florbetaben parameters related to the deposition of amyloid in the heart (such as Myocardial Tracer Retention (MTR) or Retention Index (RI)), and the variability in these parameters after repeated imaging will be evaluated. Measurement of blood metabolites and comparison of invasive with non-invasive quantification of [18F]florbetaben uptake in the heart will be performed.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Experimental: Patients with cardiac disease
All eligible AL, ATTR and non-CA patients will receive two injections of the investigational imaging agent florbetaben: at a baseline PET imaging session and at a follow-up PET imaging session to evaluate the test-retest imaging characteristics. 5 patients of each group will be required.
Drug: Florbetaben F18
Florbetaben F18 is a radioactive diagnostic agent being developed for the indication of PET imaging of the heart to detect amyloid pathology. All patients will receive two administrations of Florbetaben F18 at a radioactive dose of 300 megabecquerel (MBq).
