Daratumumab, Ixazomib, and Dexamethasone in AL Amyloidosis
United States21 participantsStarted 2018-02-07
Plain-language summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of daratumumab, ixazomib, and dexamethasone in treating participants with amyloid light chain amyloidosis. Monoclonal antibodies, such as daratumumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixazomib and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving daratumumab, ixazomib, and dexamethasone may be effective in treating participants with light chain amyloidosis.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Diagnosis of primary systemic AL amyloidosis of tissue as determined by: a. Congo red staining of tissue showing apple green birefringence AND b. Clonal plasma cell disorder as determined by: i. Immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization (ISH) or flow cytometry demonstrating kappa or lambda light chain restriction on bone marrow biopsy AND/OR ii. Monoclonal protein on serum or urine electrophoresis/immunofixation OR abnormal free light chain ratio
* Newly diagnosed OR relapsed and/or refractory AL amyloidosis. Newly diagnosed patients must be treatment naive without previous plasma cell-directed therapy with the exception of a maximum of 160 mg dexamethasone or equivalent prior to dosing on protocol. Relapsed and/or refractory is defined as follows: a. Clonal relapse after at least one previous line of therapy or high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation OR b. Refractory disease to prior therapy defined as less than a hematologic very good partial response (VGPR). If previous therapy was autologous stem cell transplant (SCT), must be \>= 3 months after SCT
* Measurable disease defined by: a. Monoclonal protein in the serum or urine by immunofixation OR plasmacytosis of bone marrow with monoclonal staining for kappa or lambda light-chain isotype b. dFLC \>= 50 mg/L (dFLC=difference in involved and uninvolved serum free light-chain levels)
* Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study related procedure no…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
