A Phase 1 Study of 99mTc-p5+14 in Healthy Volunteers and Patients With AL or ATTR Systemic Amyloidosis
What this study is about
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.
View original scientific description
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.
Interventions
DRUG
99mTc-p5+14 is an amyloid reactive peptide labeled with technetium-99m.
Peptide p5+14 is a pan-amyloid reactive, synthetic 45 L-amino acid polypeptide with a net +12 positive charge that can bind two major components of all extracellular amyloid deposits: (i) hypersulfated heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans (proteoglycans) and (ii) amyloid fibrils. The polypeptide, labeled with iodine-124, has been shown (study AMY1001) to bind amyloid in all organs including the heart. This study will evaluate a Tc-99m-labeled version of the peptide for gamma imaging.
DRUG
99mTc-Pyrophosphate
99mTc-PYP is an FDA-approved, commercially available bone-seeking radiotracer used routinely in nuclear medicine. 99mTC-PYP imaging is used clinically for the diagnosis of cardiac ATTR amyloidosis.
Primary outcome measures
Whole body effective dosimetry measurement
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of study is 8 days
Whole body effective radiation dose assessed from analysis of organ-specific radioactivity uptake in planar and SPECT images.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
