Trial Outcomes & Findings for Imaging Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Pilot Study Using F-18 Florbetapir Positron Emission Tomography (NCT NCT01683825)

NCT ID: NCT01683825

Last Updated: 2025-11-20

Results Overview

Standardized uptake value (SUV) mean is defined as the mean F-18 florbetapir activity concentration \[kBq/ml\] measured within the left ventricular myocardial region of interest multiplied by the decay-corrected amount of injected F-18 florbetapir \[kBq\] normalized to patient weight \[g\]. In this study we will measure mean left ventricular global myocardial F-18 Florbetapir SUVmean on static images between 4 minutes to 30 minutes post injection of F-18 florbetapir.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 day

Population: 10 cardiac amyloidosis subjects, 6 control subjects without cardiac amyloidosis, and 7 subjects with cardiac amyloidosis were included.

Standardized uptake value (SUV) mean is defined as the mean F-18 florbetapir activity concentration \[kBq/ml\] measured within the left ventricular myocardial region of interest multiplied by the decay-corrected amount of injected F-18 florbetapir \[kBq\] normalized to patient weight \[g\]. In this study we will measure mean left ventricular global myocardial F-18 Florbetapir SUVmean on static images between 4 minutes to 30 minutes post injection of F-18 florbetapir.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Repeat scan was performed a median of 7 days after baseline study (range 1-46 days)

Population: Subjects with cardiac amyloidosis who underwent two F-18 florbetapir PET/CT scans.

We evaluated change in F-18 florbetapir SUVmean from scan 1 to scan 2 as a percentage value \[(SUVmean1 minus SUVmean 2)/(SUVmean 1)\*100\]. In the 7 participants with cardiac amyloidosis who underwent two studies (median of 7 days apart), the percentage change in F-18 florbetapir SUVmean from scan 1 to scan 2 ranged from -38.5% to +20.8% with a median value of +2.24%.
