Light Chain Amyloidosis Maintenance Evaluation

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the event-free survival (EFS) after 3-6 versus 18 cycles of daratumumab maintenance following 6 cycles induction of daratumumab-CyBorD in newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Histological confirmation of AL amyloidosis with adequate typing (mass spectrometry, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, immunogold).
  • AL amyloidosis with organ disease requiring therapy.
  • NOTE: Disease requiring therapy is referred to the time of diagnosis. There are no limitations in baseline measurable disease parameters.
  • Patients must have monoclonal protein studies (serum free light chain assay, serum immunofixation or serum MASS-FIX) obtained at time of diagnosis before induction therapy initiated and available for review to be enrolled.
  • NOTE: Patients are allowed to participate in this study if urine electrophoresis immunofixation study was not done at time of diagnosis or cannot be obtained.
  • Patients must have completed 6 cycles of Dara-CyBorD-based induction treatment ≤84 days prior to registration.
  • Patients must have achieved a hematological CR (irrespective of organ response achievement) or hematological VGPR (irrespective of organ response           achievement) or hematological low-dFLC PR (irrespective of organ response             achievement) or hematological PR with at least one organ response after receiving Dara-CyBorD-based induction.
  • NOTE: Patients with. baseline dFLC <5 mg/dL, must have achieved hematological CR, or dFLC <1 mg/dL or achieved organ response prior to randomization.
  • Patients in whom bortezomib and/or cyclophosphamide were omitted from induction due to toxicity concerns or adverse effects are allowed. Patients must receive at least daratumumab and dexamethasone at induction to qualify for the study.
  • NOTE: Dexamethasone use does not need to be carried to end of induction for eligibility consideration.
  • ECOG Performance Status (PS) 0, 1, 2 or 3. 
  • The following laboratory values obtained ≤28 days prior to registration:
    • Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL;
    • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1000/mm^3;
    • Platelet count ≥ 50,000/mm^3.
  • Negative pregnancy test done ≤ 7 days prior to registration, for persons of childbearing potential only.
  • NOTE: If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.
  • Provide written informed consent. NOTE: Informed consent required ≤90 days prior registration.
  • Ability to complete questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance.
  • Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (during the Active Monitoring Phase of the study).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any of the following because this study involves an agent that has possible genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects:
    • Pregnant persons;
    • Nursing persons;
    • Persons of childbearing potential {and persons able to father a child} who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception.
  • Received > 1 cycle of daratumumab maintenance after end of induction therapy and prior to registration.
  • Multiple myeloma at time of diagnosis as defined by any of the following:
    • Hypercalcemia: Serum calcium > 1 mg/dL higher than upper limit of normal or > 11 mg/dL;
    • Renal insufficiency: Creatinine clearance < 40 mL per min or serum creatinine > 2 mg/dL attributed to high circulating light chains (i.e., cast nephropathy) or hypercalcemia;
    • Anemia: Hemoglobin > 2 g/dL below lower limit of normal, or < 10 g/dL, attributed to high marrow myeloma infiltration;
    • Bone lesions: ≥1 osteolytic lesion on skeletal x-ray, CT, or PET-CT (bone imaging is not mandatory but based on clinical suspicion);
    • Clonal bone marrow plasma cells ≥ 60%;
    • >1 focal lesion on MRI (MRI is not mandatory but based on clinical suspicion);
    • If bone imaging (CT, MRI, PET-CT) was not done at time of diagnosis it is not needed to be performed at registration to rule out bone disease;
    • ≥ 40% BMPCs irrespective of the above;
    • The study will allow patients with Involved: uninvolved sFLC ratio ≥ 100 if this is the only criteria that defines amyloidosis if all the above criteria are not met.
  • Seropositive for hepatitis B (defined by a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]).
  • NOTE:  Subjects with resolved infection (i.e., subjects who are HBsAg negative but positive for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen [anti-HBc] and/or antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen [anti-HBs]) must be screened using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) measurement of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels. Those who are PCR positive will be excluded.
  • EXCEPTION: Subjects with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a known history of prior HBV vaccination, do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR.
  • Immunocompromised patients and patients known to be HIV positive and currently receiving antiretroviral therapy. 
  • NOTE: Patients known to be HIV positive, but without clinical evidence of an immunocompromised state, are eligible for this trial.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to:
    • ongoing or active infection;
    • unstable angina pectoris;
    • psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria may apply.
