  1. The study's title name Immunoglobulin Light-chain Amyloidosis, a narrower term within Amyloidosis.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own title. Of 46 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 72% were exactly right and 89% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 4% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

This is a prospective, single-center study exploratory clinical trial, aim to exploring the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in patients with AL amyloidosis, patients were divided into three groups: one group received long-term treatment with daratumumab based regimen, and the other group received autologous stem cell transplantation after two standard treatment courses with daratumumab based regimen, and the third group consists of newly diagnosed stage IIIb AL amyloidosis patients who plan to receive DPD treatment. The purpose of this study is to observe the efficacy and safety of Daratumumab, in the treatment of newly diagnosed systemic AL amyloidosis.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-center study exploratory clinical trial, aim to exploring the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in patients with AL amyloidosis, patients were divided into three groups: one group received long-term treatment with daratumumab based regimen (group A) and the other group received autologous stem cell transplantation after two standard treatment courses with daratumumab based regimen (group B) , and the third group consists of newly diagnosed stage IIIb AL amyloidosis patients who plan to receive DPD treatment (group C). 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. Group C were given Daratumumab (16mg/kg), dexamethasone (40mg) and pomalidomide. The usage of Daratumumab and dexamethasone is the same as group A and B. Patients received oral pomalidomide on days 1-21 of a 28-days cycle from cycle 1 to 6. The dose of pomalidomide is adjusted based on the patient's renal function and ECOG score.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Participants must be aged ≥18 and ≤75 years;
  2. Newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis ((confirmed by pathological examination with at least one major organ involvement (heart, kidney, or liver));
  3. In group A and B, according to the Mayo 2004 staging system, the disease is classified as stage Ⅰ-ⅢA; In group C, according to the Mayo 2004 staging system, the disease is classified as stage IIIB: NT⁃proBNP>8500ng/L and cTnT>0.035μg/L or cTnI>0.01g/L;
  4. Participants must personally sign an form approved by the Ethics Committee before the start of the study;
  5. Expected survival ≥ 12 weeks;
  6. performance status≤ 2;
  7. Female participants of must agree to use effective from the day of signing the informed consent until 365 days after the infusion. Effective contraception is defined as abstinence or the use of a contraceptive method with a failure rate of \<1% per year.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. \< 30ml/min/1.73m2;
  2. Combined multiple myeloma;
  3. Acute or chronic infection requiring treatment within 30 days prior to baseline;
  4. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  5. Participants known to have life-threatening allergic reactions, , or intolerance to Monoclonal antibodies or immune modulators.
  6. Other conditions deemed by the researcher as unsuitable for enrollment.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
