View original scientific description
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether teclistamab-daratumumab combination is effective and safe in AL amyloidosis. The study treatment is divided into cycles (C) and each cycle is 28 days (D). Study treatment is expected to last 6 months.
Interventions
DRUG
Teclistamab
Teclistamab is a T-cell redirecting bispecific antibody (BsAb) targeting CD3 on T-cells and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) on plasma cells.
DRUG
Daratumumab and Hyaluronidase-fihj
Daratumumab is an monoclonal antibody that targets the CD38 protein on the surface of myeloma cells.
Primary outcome measures
Hematologic Complete Response (Heme-CR) rate
Time frame: 6 months from treatment initiation
Heme-CR will be defined as: involved free light-chain level less than the upper limit of the normal range with negative serum and urine immunofixation; normalization of the uninvolved free light-chain level or free light-chain ratio will not be required to determine a complete response.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Age \>18 years and able to sign Informed Consent Form (ICF). If the individual being considered for participation in this study is unable to provide informed consent due to medical, cognitive, or other conditions, a legally authorized representative (LAR) may consent on their behalf.
- Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgment.
- Confirmed histopathological diagnosis of systemic AL amyloidosis by mass spectrometry or immunohistochemistry (IHC) or Immunofluorescence (IF) on a tissue biopsy that is positive for Congo Red.
- Patient must not have received any prior plasma cell clone-directed therapy.
- Measurable hematologic disease, defined as one of the following:
- Difference between involved and uninvolved serum free light chain (dFLC) ≥50 mg/L and/or 5 mg/dL
- Serum M-protein ≥0.5 g/dL on protein electrophoresis
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2.
- One or more organs involved by AL amyloidosis as per consensus guidelines
- Pre-treatment clinical laboratory values meeting the following criteria during the screening phase:
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥0.75 × 10\^9/L
- Hemoglobin level ≥8.0 g/dL; red blood cell transfusion allowed until 7 days before C1D0.
- Platelet count ≥50 × 10\^9/L; Platelet transfusions are acceptable without restriction during the Screening period
- Alanine aminotransferase level (ALT) ≤2.5 times the Upper Limit of Normal (ULN)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 times the ULN
- Total bilirubin level ≤1.5 × ULN except for subjects with Gilbert syndrome, in which case direct bilirubin ≤2 × ULN
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥20 mL/min/1.73 m\^2, measured by using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.
- For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception and agreement to refrain from donating eggs. For men: Agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a condom, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm.
Exclusion criteria
- Prior therapy for AL amyloidosis or multiple myeloma with the exception of 160 mg dexamethasone (or equivalent corticosteroid) maximum exposure prior to C1D0.
- Patients meeting criteria for symptomatic multiple myeloma by any one of the following: (a) Lytic lesions on imaging (Skeletal survey, whole body CT or MRI, or PET/CT) (b) Plasmacytoma, (c) Hypercalcemia without any alternate etiology, (d) Bone marrow plasma cell infiltrate of greater than 60%. Patients with involved/uninvolved serum FLC ratio\>100 as the sole myeloma-defining event will be allowed.
- Evidence of significant cardiovascular conditions as specified below:
- NT-Pro BNP \> 8500 pg/mL, and/or
- NYHA Class IIIb or IV functional class
- History of other malignancy that could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results. Patients with a history of curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ carcinoma of the cervix, breast cancer, or Hodgkin's Lymphoma are generally eligible. Patients with a malignancy that has been treated, but not with curative intent, will be excluded, unless the malignancy has been in remission without treatment for ≥ 2 years prior to enrollment.
- Evidence of other clinically significant uncontrolled condition(s) including, but not limited to, uncontrolled systemic infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal).
- Patients on renal replacement therapy
- Patients with HIV who are not on HAART or those with active hepatitis A, B, or C infection.
- Planned stem cell transplant during the first 6 cycles of protocol therapy are excluded. Stem cell collection during the first 6 cycles of protocol therapy is permitted, as per investigators' discretion.
- Known hypersensitivity to any of the agents
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agent concurrently.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
