Systemic Light Chain Amyloidosis (AL) trials
- A Single Arm, Open-Label, Phase 1/2 Study of ZN-d5 for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis. The first part of the study is phase 1 dose-escalation and the second part will be phase 2.
- An orally bioavailable inhibitor of the anti-apoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2), with potential pro-apoptotic and antineoplastic activities. Upon oral administration, Bcl-2 inhibitor ZN-d5 targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of Bcl-2.
- A Phase 3 Randomized, MultI-Centre Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Efficacy and Safety Study of Birtamimab Plus Standard of Care vs Placebo Plus Standard of Care in Newly Diagnosed Mayo Stage IV Subjects with Light Chain AL Amyloidosis
- Birtamimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody being investigated as a treatment for amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis and potentially AA amyloidosis.
A Phase Ib/II study of Venetoclax, IBERdomide and dexamethasone for patients in first or
second relapse of Multiple myeloma and/or systemic AL amyloidosis with t(11;14)
What is the drug in question?
Iberdomide is a “CelMod”, which is similar to lenalidomide and pomalidomide. It is well tolerated with proven activity in myeloma.
It is hoped that iberdomide to be more effective and less toxic than lenalidomide in the treatment of AL amyloidosis.
Venetoclax, a BCL2 inhibitor, which used in many haematological conditions, but in myeloma and AL amyloidosis, venetoclax specifically targets the effects of t(11;14) mutation.
Who is eligible for the trial?
- Patients with AL amyloidosis who have relapsed after 1 or 2 lines of treatment previously.
- Patients must have have the t(11;14) translocation (genetic variation) detected on their bone marrow biopsy (seen in ~50% of all AL amyloidosis patients).
- Patients must have serum free light chains (SFLC) >100mg/L to qualify
How is the drug administered?
This clinical trial is designed to see if the combination of both medications with the steroid, dexamethasone, has very high response rate, has quicker response times and is well tolerated.
This is an Australian only study of 50 patients.
Note that this treatment is an all oral (tablet) treatment.
You will be given medication to minimise the risk of these side-effects.
How long does the trial go for?
The three medications will continue until it stops working or if the patient has significant sideeffects and/or wants to withdraw from the study.
While this combination is expected to be well tolerated, the more common potential sideeffects of this treatment are low blood counts, rash, infections and clots.

Study Summary
ABBV-383: Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis. AL amyloidosis has many root causes and is characterized by the overproduction of AL that are secreted by clonal bone marrow plasma cells. This is a study to determine adverse events and change in disease activity in adult participants with AL amyloidosis treated with ABBV-383.
ABBV-383 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of AL amyloidosis. This study in broken into 2 parts (dose escalation and safety expansion) with 5 arms. During dose escalation (arms 1-3) participants will receive 1 of 3 doses of ABBV-383 to determine the part 2 doses. After completion of the dose escalation portion of the study, the safety expansion (part 2) portion of the study will begin. Two arms (arm 4-5) will begin and participants will receive 1 of 2 doses as determined during the dose escalation portion (part 1). Around 76 adult participants with relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis will be enrolled at approximately 20 sites across the world.
Participants will receive ABBV-383 as an infusion into the vein for up to approximately 2 year study duration.
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and questionnaires.
Who is eligible for the trial?
Patients with relapsed or refractory systemic AL amyloidosis who have previously been treated with bortezomib and daratumumab.
Does every patient receive the actual trial drug?
All patients receive ABBV-383.
How is the drug administered?
After an initial dose step up phase ABBV-383 is given as a subcutaneous injection every 28 days.
How long does the trial go for?
The treatment continues for 2 years in an estimated 76 patients. The trial will continue to watch the response in patients for a number of years after the treatment finished.

- This is a Phase 2 open-label extension study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of AT-02.
- AT-02 is a therapeutic candidate developed by Attralus for treating systemic amyloidosis. It’s a fusion protein consisting of a pan-amyloid removal (PAR) peptide technology and a humanized IgG1 antibody. The PAR peptide binds to all types of amyloid and delivers the antibody to the amyloid deposits, stimulating the immune system to remove the amyloid.
- A phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose escalation trial combining single-ascending dose and multiple-ascending dose phases of NI006 or placebo, followed by an open-label extension phase in subjects with Amyloid Transthyretin Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).
