Beta-amyloid PET/CT to See If AL-CA Therapy Works

Official title: A Follow-Up Study to Monitor Therapeutic Response in Light Chain Cardiac Amyloidosis Using Beta-amyloid PET/CT

Run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital · NCT07829705 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether beta-amyloid PET/CT scans can show if treatment for light chain cardiac amyloidosis is helping after about a year.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with newly diagnosed AL-CA who have started first-line plasma cell–directed or targeted therapies and can consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients without a measurable change in cardiac amyloid on imaging or with non-amyloid-related cardiac issues may see limited benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this Phase 2, single-center study, researchers use beta-amyloid PET/CT imaging to look for changes in amyloid burden after one year of therapy for AL-CA. They collect demographics, clinical data, and PET imaging to characterize any treatment-related changes from baseline. The goal is to determine if these molecular imaging markers reflect therapeutic response beyond standard biomarkers and imaging. Outcomes focus on whether amyloid burden reduction corresponds to clinical improvements.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may receive a more precise imaging tool to monitor treatment response and tailor therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work with beta-amyloid tracers in cardiac amyloidosis supports their potential to quantify amyloid burden, but this specific approach is still exploratory.
