Autologous stem cell transplant is beneficial to patients who are diagnosed with multiple myeloma or systemic amyloidosis. However, undesired symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, nausea, pain and sleep disturbance after transplant can contribute to complications and increase the how long the patient is in the hospital, especially in patients age 60-75. Research has shown that the development and the intensity of these symptoms are closely associated with an increase in a protein called a cytokine which is involved in the inflammatory response in the human body. One of the cytokines is called Interleukin-6 or IL-6.Therefore, this study will investigate if blocking IL-6 with an agent called siltuximab, administered before and after transplant, will decrease the symptom burden after transplant to improve quality of life and recovery in the immediate post-transplant period.
Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a bone marrow disorder that affects a wide range of organs that can lead to organ dysfunction and death. Amyloid is an abnormal protein that is produced in your bone marrow and cannot be broken down. It builds up in different organs preventing them from working well. The most commonly affected organs are the kidneys, heart, liver, spleen, nervous system, and digestive tract. Treatment with chemotherapy can stop the growth of abnormal cells that produce this abnormal protein. Decrease in amyloid protein in the body improves the function of the affected organs. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the safest dose of the medications and how well you tolerate them or the "maximum tolerated dose" (MTD). The study uses Ixazomib in combination with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone to treat people with newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis. This combination of medications is an oral regimen that is taken over 6 cycles. The first part of study will determine the safety of this regimen and the second part of the study will determine how effective this combination of drugs is to treat your disease.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of NEOD001 in subjects with AL amyloidosis who have completed Study NEOD001-201.
This is a study to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of Venetoclax (ABT-199) and dexamethasone in relapsed or refractory amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis patients.
Participants with AL Amyloidosis will receive the drug daratumumab by IV infusion once weekly for two months, then every 2 weeks for four months, then once each month. Study treatment may continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or decision to withdraw from the trial. Disease evaluations will be performed every three months until disease progression.
This is a global, multicenter, Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-arm, parallel-group efficacy and safety study of NEOD001 as a single agent administered intravenously in adults with AL amyloidosis who had a hematologic response to previous treatment for their amyloidosis (e.g., chemotherapy, autologous stem cell transplant [ASCT]) and have persistent cardiac dysfunction.
The rationale for this study is to provide additional treatment with NEOD001 for subjects who complete Study NEOD001-001, and to continue to evaluate long term safety and tolerability. All subjects in the current NEOD001 trials are being dosed at 24 mg/kg, which will be continued in this study.
This is an online registry to document the psychometric properties of SF-36v2 among patients with AL Amyloidosis, to document patients' burden of disease, to better understand the patient's experience and to follow quality of life issues using a variety of QOL measures.
Standard treatment for AL Amyloidosis is high-dose melphalan and stem cell transplant. This study will compare the safety and effectiveness of standard treatment with high-dose melphalan and stem cell transplant, compared with investigational bortezomib when used in combination with standard treatment with high-dose melphalan and stem cell transplant for AL amyloidosis.
