AL amyloidosis
MONDO:0019438AL Amyloidosis is a plasma cell disorder characterized by the aggregation and deposition of insoluble amyloid fibrils derived from misfolding of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains usually produced by a plasma cell tumor. It usually presents as primary systemic amyloidosis (PSA) with multiple organ involvement and less frequently as primary localized amyloidosis (PLA) restricted to a single organ.
Also known as: Light-chain amyloidosis, primary amyloidosis, Light chain amyloidosis, amyloidosis AL, amyloidosis primary systemic, primary AL amyloidosis, primary systemic AL amyloidosis, primary systemic amyloidosis

Engineered immune cells take aim at a rare Protein-Folding disease
⭐️ CURE ⭐️ Not yet recruitingThis trial is testing an experimental treatment called FKC289 for people with primary AL amyloidosis that has relapsed or not responded to standard care. FKC289 uses a patient's own immune cells, engineered to recognize and attack the abnormal plasma cells that produce the harmfu…

New drug shows promise in destroying amyloidosis cells
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study tests an experimental drug called elranatamab in people newly diagnosed with AL amyloidosis who have not yet had treatment. The drug helps the body's immune cells find and destroy the abnormal cells causing the disease. Researchers want to see if it can produce deep re…

Could a spring-powered injector make cancer drug delivery smoother for patients and nurses?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis trial tests whether a mechanical, spring-driven device called FreedomEDGE® can safely and effectively deliver daratumumab, a standard treatment for multiple myeloma and amyloidosis. Currently, nurses give these injections by hand, which can be physically demanding. About 100…

Engineered immune cells take on rare protein disease in major trial
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis phase 3 trial compares an experimental CAR-T cell therapy, NXC-201, with a standard drug combination (daratumumab plus CyBorD) in people newly diagnosed with AL amyloidosis, a rare condition where abnormal proteins damage organs. Participants receive either a single infusion…

Gene-Guided Chemo-Free strategy targets AL amyloidosis
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study tests two chemotherapy-free treatments for people newly diagnosed with AL amyloidosis, a rare blood disorder. The choice of treatment depends on whether the patient has a specific genetic change called t(11;14). Those with t(11;14) receive a daily pill called sonrotocl…

New drug aims to shrink rare protein clumps in early trial
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis early study tests whether the drug CAEL-101/anselamimab can bind to and shrink abnormal protein deposits (amyloid) in people with AL amyloidoma. Five adults with measurable amyloid deposits will receive the drug and be monitored for up to 72 weeks. The goal is to see if the …

New dual-target CAR-T therapy takes on hard-to-treat blood cancers
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis early-phase study tests a new treatment called CAR19-BCMA CAR-T for people with certain blood cancers (plasma cell neoplasms or lymphomas/leukemias) that have returned or not responded to at least three prior treatments. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells, modifie…
