The purpose of this study is assess safety, safest dose, and effectiveness of venetoclax in combination with dexamethasone in participants with t(11;14) positive relapsed (comes back) or refractory (did not get better) light chain amyloidosis.
This study is a phase 1/2 study of venetoclax-dexamethasone combination therapy in relapsed/refractory t(11;14) systemic immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL) amyloidosis. The phase 1 is a dose escalation designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of venetoclax in combination with low-dose weekly dexamethasone. There will be four candidate-dosing cohorts of venetoclax with or without dexamethasone in the Phase I dose-escalation. Dose escalation will be guided by the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design with accelerated titration up to a total sample size of 15 participants.
The phase 2 portion is a randomized open-label study comparing the MTD or RP2D of venetoclax in combination with dexamethasone versus investigator's choice (daratumumab, pomalidomide, bendamustine, or ixazomib (with or without dexamethasone).

Also known as: Venclexta
Cytogenetic analysis is intended for evaluation of relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using known translocation probes. Bone marrow aspirate (BMA) samples are collected in lavender top (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)) or green top (Sodium heparin) tubes. Specimen tubes shall be transported at room temperature to the laboratory on the same day of collection.

Daratumumab will be administered at a dose of 16 mg/kg by IV infusion once weekly for weeks 1 to 8, every 2 weeks for weeks 9 to 24, and every 4 weeks thereafter for a maximum of 6 months of therapy. If subcutaneous formulation is available, participants can also receive subcutaneous daratumumab (1800 mg in 15 ml) in the same schedule.

Venetoclax MTD (200 mg or 400 mg) with Dexamethasone (10 mg or 20 mg) as determined by the phase I results
Number of Participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) (Phase 1)
The number of participants with dose limiting toxicities for each treatment dose will be used to determine the MTD. Dose limiting toxicity defined as grade 4 neutropenia lasting more than 5 days, any grade febrile neutropenia, grade 4 thrombocytopenia, grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding, other therapy related non-hematologic toxicity of grade 2 or higher that requires discontinuation of therapy, clinical tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), laboratory TLS if the metabolic abnormalities are considered clinically significant by the investigator. All other grade 3 or higher adverse events (AEs) will be considered as DLTs with a few exceptions.
Time frame: Up to 6 cycles (approximately 6 months)
Hematologic ≥ Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) Rate (Phase 2)
Hematologic ≥VGPR rate defined as proportion of participants achieving VGPR, low serum differential free light chain concentration (dFLC) partial response (PR), or a complete (CR). VGPR is defined as the difference between involved and uninvolved free light chain (FLC) \[dFLC\] \< 40 mg/L. Low dFLC PR is defined as achieving a dFLC\<10 mg/L, low dFLC PR will be considered as a deep hematologic response and included in the ≥VGPR category). CR is defined as negative serum and urine immunofixation electrophoresis along with a serum free light chain ratio that lies within the normal range or skewed towards the non-amyloid forming light chain, as per institutional laboratory values
