A Global Phase 3 Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled study to assess Efficacy and Safety of Birtamimab Plus Standard of Care vs. Placebo Plus Standardof Care in Mayo Stage IV Subjects with Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis
- Conditions
- AL amyloidosis involves a hematologic disorder caused by clonal plasma cells that produce misfolded immunoglobulin light chains.Overproduction of misfolded light chains results in both soluble, aggregated forms of light chains and insoluble, fibrillar deposits ofabnormal AL protein (amyloid), in the tissues and organs. This can cause a range of symptoms and organ dysfunction including cardiac, renal, andhepatic dysfunction, gastrointestinal involvement and neuropathy and macroglossiaMedDRA version: 20.0Level: PTClassification code 10036673Term: Primary amyloidosisSystem Organ Class: 10021428 - Immune system disordersTherapeutic area: Diseases [C] - Blood and lymphatic diseases [C15]

- Target Recruitment
- 150
1.Aged =18 years
2.Newly diagnosed and AL amyloidosis treatment naive
3.Bone marrow demonstrating clonal plasma cells
4.Confirmed diagnosis of AL amyloidosis by the following:
-Histochemical diagnosis of amyloidosis determined by polarizing light
microscopy of green birefringent material in Congo red-stained tissue
specimens OR characteristic electron microscopy appearance
AND
-Confirmatory immunohistochemistry OR mass spectroscopy of AL
amyloidosis
5.Confirmed diagnosis of AL amyloidosis by mass spectrometry or
immunoelectron microscopy of amyloid material in tissue biopsy if the
subject meets any of the following:
-Is black or African American
-Is over 75 years of age with concurrent monoclonal gammopathy
-Has a history of familial amyloidosis and has concurrent monoclonal
gammopathy
OR
-If the subject meets any of the above 3 conditions and has
echocardiographic evidence of amyloidosis, biopsy-proven amyloidosis
with a monoclonal gammopathy and no tissue is available for mass
spectrometry or immunoelectron microscopy, the subject must have
gene sequencing consistent with transthyretin (TTR) wild type (e.g., no
TTR mutation present) AND must score 0 in technetium-99m-3,3-
diphosphono-1,2 propanodicarboxylic acid (99mTc DPD),
hydroxymethylenediphosphonate (99mTc HMDP), or pyrophosphate
(99mTc PYP) scintigraphy
6.Cardiac involvement as defined by all of the following:
-Past documented or presently noted clinical signs and symptoms
supportive of a diagnosis of heart failure in the setting of a confirmed
diagnosis of AL amyloidosis in the absence of an alternative explanation
for heart failure
-Either an endomyocardial biopsy demonstrating AL amyloidosis or an
echocardiogram demonstrating a mean left ventricular wall thickness at
diastole >12 mm in the absence of other causes (e.g., severe
hypertension, aortic stenosis), which would adequately explain the
degree of wall thickening
7.Confirmed Mayo Stage IV as defined by:
-NT-proBNP =1800 pg/mL and
-Troponin-T >0.03 ng/mL and
-dFLC =18 mg/dL
8.Planned first-line chemotherapy contains bortezomib administered subcutaneously weekly
9.Adequate bone marrow reserve, hepatic function, and renal function,
as demonstrated by:
-Absolute neutrophil count =1.0 × 10e9/L
-Platelet count =75 × 10e9/L

-Total bilirubin = 2 × the upper limit of normal (ULN)
-Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic oxaloacetic
transaminase =3 × ULN
-Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase
=3 × ULN
-Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) =5 × ULN (except for subjects with
hepatomegaly and isozymes specific to liver, rather than bone)
-Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) =30 mL/min/1.73 m2 as
estimated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation

11.Distance walked during each Screening 6MWT is >30 meters and
<550 meters
12.Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have 2 negative
pregnancy tests during Screening, the second within 24 hours prior to
the first administration of study drug, and must agree to use highly
effective physician-approved contraception from Screening to 90 days
following the last study drug administration

effective physician approved contraception from Screening to 90 days
