Clinical Trial Summary

Cardiac amyloidosis is responsible for significant morbidity associated with heart failure, and carries a poor prognosis. Currently there are very limited treatment options for this condition. Radiotherapy has been used successfully to treat amyloidosis elsewhere in the body, however has not been tried in cardiac amyloidosis. Therefore this study aims to assess the effect of radiotherapy on cardiac amyloidosis, to evaluate whether it can successfully reduce the burden of amyloid deposits in the myocardium as assessed by 18F-Amyloid PET.


Clinical Trial Description

The intervention will involve administration of external beam radiotherapy (5 fractions of 2Gy) focused to the heart. Measurements of effect will be assessed at 12 weeks by: Amyloid PET Cardiac MRI with administration of gadolinium and ultrasound A blood venous sample (cardiac biomarkers) Quality of life assessments ;
