Bonding Molecular Genotyping and Phenotyping to Outcome Measures in AL Amyloidosis: A EUropean REgistry and Sample Sharing networK to Promote the Diagnosis and Management of Light Chain Amyloidosis (EUREKA)

In the frame of the EUREKA Consortium, a patients' registry collecting all new cases of AL amyloidosis evaluated at referral Centers across Europe or at their satellite sites will be created, in association with a cross-border biorepository and sample sharing network for the study of both disease-causing light chains and plasma cells with advanced molecular technologies. A dedicated site will support the Consortium with big data analysis and artificial intelligence applied to health. The aims are: 1) Defining the impact of advanced molecular technologies to promote early diagnosis and guide therapeutic choices; 2) describing the natural history of the disease in a representative cohort of AL patients in the contemporary era of effective anti-plasma cell therapies; 3) investigating and refining novel advanced technologies to detect with high sensitivity residual disease-causing plasma cells/light chains in patients achieving a complete hematologic response to therapy (minimal residual disease, MRD).
