Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a single center, open label, pilot study using an amyloid-reactive peptide labeled with iodine-124 (124I-evuzamitide) and PET/CT imaging to detect the presence of cardiac and extracardiac amyloid in patients who have undergone surgical intervention for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) or carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and who have amyloid-positive connective tissue [ligamentum flavum (LF) in LSS patients or tenosynovium in CTS patients] assessed at the time of the corrective surgery.

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

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. 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.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Must be ≥ 60 years of age.
  • Must have given written informed consent (signed and dated) and any authorizations required by local law and be able to comply with all study requirements.
  • Must have a Congo red positive ligamentum flavum or tenosynovial specimen analysis after laminectomy or carpal tunnel release surgery that is visually categorized as either "extensive" amyloid load or "mild/moderate" amyloid load by an experienced reviewer.
  • Those with mild/moderate amyloid load in the connective tissue who also have a history of at least one other orthopedic clinical manifestation, including, but not limited to, carpal tunnel syndrome, lumbar spinal stenosis, trigger finger, biceps tendon rupture, and shoulder/hip/knee arthroplasty.
  • Females must be non-pregnant and non-lactating.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects on dialysis.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Biodistribution
Participants will be administered ~1 mCi of 124I-evuzamitide (up to 1 mg of peptide) by IV push at a proposed rate of ~1 mL per 5 seconds. Three hours after injection, a PET/CT image acquisition from shoulder to thigh as well as a 10 min static PET image of the heart will be performed.
Drug: 124I-evuzamitide
124I-evuzamitide is an iodine-124 (124I) labeled 45 L-amino acid peptide (also known as p5+14) suitable for single dose PET/CT imaging. The peptide binds many forms of amyloid through multivalent electrostatic interactions with the amyloid fibril and with the ubiquitous amyloid-associated hypersulfated heparan sulfate proteoglycans.
Other Names:
  • AT-01

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Detection of cardiac amyloidosis using 124I-evuzamitide PET/CT imaging
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of study is 8 days.
Cardiac PET/CT images will be classified as either positive or negative for 124I-evuzamitide uptake based on visual interpretation.
From enrollment to the end of study is 8 days.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description

Measure uptake of 124I-evuzamitide radioactivity in the heart and compare to biomarkers
