Antiamyloid therapies currently under development for AL amyloidosis

AgentTargetComments
CAEL-101 Amyloid fibrils 
  • Targets amyloid deposits in vivo as assessed by imaging studies

  • Promising results in preliminary uncontrolled studies94 

  • Phase 3 trials comparing CyBorD vs CyBorD plus CAEL-101 in stage IIIa (NCT04512235) and IIIb (NCT04504825) subjects are ongoing

 
Birtamimab Amyloid fibrils 
  • Post hoc analysis of the phase 3 study of birtamimab vs placebo plus bortezomib-based upfront therapy suggests survival benefit in Mayo Clinic 2012 stage IV patients

  • A trial is now planned in Mayo Clinic 2012 stage IV patients

 
Doxycycline Amyloid deposits
Amyloid light chains 
  • Reduces LC proteotoxicity and inhibits the formation of and disrupts amyloid fibrils in animal models95,96

  • Two retrospective controlled studies reported a survival advantage with doxycycline97,98

  • A phase 2 trial of doxycycline in conjunction with bortezomib-based chemotherapy showed low early mortality rates99 

  • An international randomized phase 3 trial of bortezomib-based therapy with or without doxycycline is ongoing (NCT03474458)

  • A Chinese randomized phase 3 trial of CyBorD with or without doxycycline showed no improvement of progression free survival (NCT03401372)100
