PURPOSE In immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis, amyloid fibrils cause organ dysfunction. Anselamimab, a monoclonal antibody, selectively binds to amyloid fibrils, accelerating their clearance. METHODS Newly diagnosed patients with European modification of Mayo 2004 stage IIIa or IIIb AL amyloidosis were randomly assigned to receive anselamimab or placebo with cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (with or without daratumumab). The primary end point was a hierarchical composite of time to all-cause mortality (ACM) and frequency of cardiovascular hospitalizations (CVHs), analyzed using the Finkelstein-Schoenfeld test and win ratio estimation. RESULTS Among 406 randomly assigned patients, the primary end point win ratio for anselamimab versus placebo was 1.11 (95% CI, 0.83, 1.50; P = .332) and the hazard ratio (HR) for ACM was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.57, 1.13; P = .290). CVH rates in the anselamimab and placebo groups were 0.59 (95% CI, 0.42, 0.83) and 0.89 (95% CI, 0.55, 1.43), respectively ( P = .145). Among patients with kappa isotype (n = 72), the win ratio was 2.06 (95% CI, 0.98, 4.31; P = .100) and anselamimab reduced ACM by 62% versus placebo (HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.17 to 0.86; nominal P = .012), and CVH by 71% (IRR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.10 to 0.87; nominal P = .028) with improvements in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-Overall Score. There was no clinical benefit observed in the lambda population. Anselamimab was generally well-tolerated; safety data were comparable between treatment arms overall. CONCLUSION Treatment with anselamimab, an antifibril antibody used alongside antiplasma cell dyscrasia therapy, while not meeting the primary end point in the overall population, significantly improved ACM and CVH in patients with kappa AL, potentially offering a new therapeutic option for this isotype.

7501 Background: AL amyloidosis is a plasma cell dyscrasia (PCD) characterized by κ or λ Ig light chain amyloid fibrils that deposit in vital organs. Anselamimab is an investigational mAb designed to complement anti-PCD therapy through accelerated removal of amyloid fibrils. Cardiac Amyloid Reaching for Extended Survival (CARES) studies (NCT04512235 and NCT04504825) investigated the efficacy and safety of anselamimab compared with placebo, in addition to anti-PCD therapy. Methods: Alongside anti-PCD therapy with CyBorD (daratumumab was permitted) newly diagnosed patients with European modification of Mayo stage IIIa or IIIb AL amyloidosis were randomized 2:1 to receive anselamimab (1000 mg/m 2 ) or placebo (normal saline) IV every 7 days for 4 weeks followed by every 14 days for the remainder of the blinded study (18 months after the last participant enrolled). The primary endpoint was a hierarchical combination of time to all-cause mortality (ACM) and frequency of adjudicated cardiovascular hospitalizations (CVH) using the Finkelstein-Schoenfeld test and win-ratio in the combined study population. Subgroup analysis by involved κ or λ free light chain (iFLC) was prespecified. Results: 271 patients were randomized to receive anselamimab and 135 placebo. Baseline characteristics were similar between treatment arms. The median duration of treatment was 21.4 months and 21.1 in the anselamimab and placebo arms, respectively. Daratumumab was used in 79.3% and 83.7% of the anselamimab and placebo arms, respectively. Results of the primary efficacy analyses are shown in the table. Anselamimab-treated patients with κ iFLC had a 62% reduction in ACM (HR = 0.38; 95% CI, 0.17, 0.86; nominal P = 0.012) and a 71% reduction in risk for CVH (estimated CVH rate ratio = 0.29; 95% CI, 0.10, 0.87; nominal P = 0.028). Patients with λ iFLC had a 10% reduction in risk for CVH; none in ACM. Safety data were comparable between both treatment arms. In anselamimab-treated patients, safety findings were similar between κ subgroup and full population. Conclusions: Anselamimab, a κ light chain–directed anti-fibril monoclonal antibody used alongside standard of care chemotherapy, offers a first-in-class, new therapeutic option for patients with newly diagnosed κ AL amyloidosis.

ABSTRACT Systemic AL amyloidosis is a clonal plasma cell dyscrasia, where toxic free light chains (FLCs) lead to vital organ damage, with risk of early mortality despite effective therapies. Notably, there is a paucity of data on the incidence and predictors of early mortality in the daratumumab (Dara) era. We conducted a multi‐center retrospective cohort study to develop and validate a risk‐prediction model for early mortality (all‐cause death within 6 months) in patients treated with Dara‐based frontline regimens. We used univariate analysis to identify covariates for a logistic regression model predictive of 6‐month mortality and generated a clinical risk score. Among 339 patients across eight centers, 36 (10.6%) experienced early mortality. Multivariate analysis identified four independent predictors: NT‐proBN P > 5300 pg/mL (odds ratio [OR] 3.83, p = 0.006), A ge > 75 years (OR 2.96, p = 0.073), absence of t(11;14) on C ytogenetics (OR 3.0, p = 0.022), and E COG performance status (OR 1.72 per unit increase, p = 0.044). The resulting PACE score stratified patients into three risk groups with a 6‐month mortality of 1.2% (low‐risk), 11.7% (intermediate‐risk), and 50.0% (high‐risk). The PACE score demonstrated superior discrimination (C‐index 0.78) for early mortality compared to Mayo 2004 (0.69) and Mayo 2012 (0.55) staging systems. External validation confirmed robust discrimination (C‐index 0.73) with corresponding 6‐month mortality rates of 4.2%, 15.25%, and 37.04% across respective risk groups. The PACE score provides a clinically applicable tool for early mortality risk stratification in AL amyloidosis patients receiving Dara‐based therapy, and will enable improved patient counseling, clinical trial design, and identification of ultra‐high‐risk patients requiring intensive monitoring and novel therapies.

Abstract Rapid and profound reduction of free light chains (FLCs) improves outcomes in AL amyloidosis; however, early FLC kinetics with daratumumab‐based frontline therapy remain undefined. We retrospectively analyzed 315 patients treated with daratumumab–bortezomib–cyclophosphamide–dexamethasone (Dara–VCd) or Dara–Vd at eight centers. Involved FLC (iFLC), the difference between iFLC and uninvolved FLC (dFLC), and hematologic response (≥very good partial response [VGPR]) were assessed at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months, and correlated with light chain isotype, disease burden (bone‐marrow plasma‐cell percentage [%BMPC], baseline dFLC), and cytogenetics. Hematological ≥VGPR increased from 49.8% at 1 month to 66.0% at 3 months. The kappa isotype showed slower responses, with higher iFLC/dFLC and lower ≥VGPR at each time point compared to lambda. Higher %BMPC or baseline dFLC predicted persistently elevated iFLC/dFLC and reduced ≥VGPR. The t(11;14) translocation was associated with lower baseline FLC but similar subsequent kinetics. BMPC < 10% and dFLC < 18 mg/dL independently predicted early ≥VGPR (in ≤1 month). Early ≥VGPR conferred superior hematologic event‐free survival (heme‐EFS) and overall survival (OS) versus later responders (P < 0.001). At a 3‐month landmark, achieving dFLC < 1 mg/dL further stratified prognosis, conferring longer heme‐EFS and OS (P < 0.01). Frontline Dara‐based therapy elicits rapid, deep responses in AL amyloidosis; early ≥VGPR (within 1 month) and dFLC < 1 mg/dL by 3 months predict durable EFS and OS, whereas higher baseline disease burden delays hematologic response.

Abstract Background: The t(11;14) translocation occurs in 50-60% patients with systemic AL amyloidosis. Venetoclax, an oral BCL2 inhibitor, has shown promising efficacy across t(11;14)-positive plasma cell disorders. However, till date, there are no prospective data in patients with previously treated AL amyloidosis, including those with prior exposure to anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Methods: We conducted an investigator-initiated phase 1/2 multicenter open-label trial of venetoclax (± dexamethasone) in patients with relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis. Key inclusion criteria were central-laboratory confirmed t(11;14) by FISH analysis in ≥5% of CD-138-selected cells on bone marrow aspirate, measurable hematologic disease (dFLC≥2 mg/dL and/or M-spike ≥0.5 g/dL), prior exposure to anti-CD38 mAb, and ≥1 prior line of therapy. Key exclusion criteria were NT-proBNP&gt;8500 pg/mL, NYHA class IIIb/IV, and ECOG&gt;2. Phase 1 dose escalation utilized Bayesian Optimal Interval Network (BOIN) design to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) across four levels: DL1 (venetoclax 200mg), DL2 (400mg), DL3 (400mg + dexamethasone 10mg weekly), and DL4 (400mg + dexamethasone 20mg weekly). A maximum of 6 cycles of therapy on the protocol were planned, with dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) being evaluated in cycle 1. The design accommodated 12-15 patients with ~67% probability of selecting the dose closest to the 25% target toxicity rate. Here, we present the results of the Phase 1 portion of the study, which has completed enrollment. Accrual in Phase 2 portion is currently ongoing. Results: Of 16 patients screened, 12 were enrolled and evaluable for safety and efficacy. Screen failures were attributed to second malignancy (n=2), t(11;14) positivity in &lt;5% CD-138-selected cells (n=1), and t(11;14) negativity (n=1). Enrolled patients had a median age of 64 years, with 25% female, and 17% Black representation. At screening, the median percentage of CD-138-selected cells with t(11;14)-positivity on FISH was 65%. All patients had prior anti-CD38 mAb-exposure by protocol design, with 11/12 patients also exposed to bortezomib. The median number of prior lines of therapy was 1 (range, 1-5). Disease markers at treatment initiation included median dFLC of 14.35 mg/dL (range, 2.13-186.28), median NT-proBNP of 712.5 pg/mL (range, 54-8831), and the median serum creatinine of 0.99 mg/dL (range, 0.69-3.01). Regarding safety, there were no DLTs encountered during the specified timeframe. One patient each received DLs 1, 2, and 3, with all remaining patients receiving DL 4 (400mg + dexamethasone 20mg weekly), which is the RP2D in this trial. There was only one patient that developed grade 3 infection (lung infection; COVID-19). No tumor-lysis syndrome, grade 3 or higher cytopenia, or treatment-emergent deaths occurred. Hematologic overall response (PR or better) was achieved in 11/12 patients (91.7%), with 9/12 (75%) attaining ≥VGPR [4/12 (33.3%) heme-CR, with the remaining being VGPR]. The median time from treatment initiation to best response was 29 days. Among 7 patients that were evaluable for cardiac response, one underwent heart transplant after 3 cycles of study treatment (while in heme-CR), hence was no longer evaluable for cardiac organ response. Of the remaining 6 patients, 2 have achieved cardiac response till date. Renal organ response was observed in 4/7 evaluable patients. At a median follow-up of 8.8 months, 4 out of 12 patients have completed 6 treatment cycles, with 2 receiving ongoing therapy. Six patients discontinued treatment early due to hematologic progression (n=1), suboptimal hematologic response (n=2), patient preference (n=2), and heart transplant (n=1). Patient-reported outcomes (assessed by PROMIS-29) showed no significant changes in Physical Functioning and Fatigue domains among 5 patients with paired baseline and end-of-treatment assessments. Updated follow-up data will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this represents the first prospective evaluation of venetoclax-dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory t(11;14) AL amyloidosis. The combination demonstrated substantial hematologic efficacy (75% ≥VGPR rate) and a favorable safety profile without dose-limiting toxicities. Our results support investigation of venetoclax-based combinations in the frontline treatment of newly diagnosed t(11;14) AL amyloidosis.

Abstract Background and Significance: Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia (WM) is an indolent B cell disorder characterized by proliferation of clonal lymphoplasmacytic lymphocytes in the bone marrow, lymph nodes, as well as liver and spleen, and secreting a monoclonal IgM Protein. WM is a rare disorder with about 1,700 cases diagnosed in the U.S. each year. There have been significant advances in the management of patients with WM in the last decade, with Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors (ibrutinib and zanubrutinib) emerging as a major treatment advancement in this disease. Currently, both BTK inhibitors are approved for the treatment of WM patients with newly diagnosed as well as relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease. BTK inhibitors are effective for the therapy of WM, especially among patients with MYD88 mutation, although the response rates are lower in patients with CXCR4 mutations. In addition, these drugs can cause cardiac side effects such as atrial and ventricular arrhythmias as well as an increased risk of bleeding/bruising. Thus, these drugs can be difficult to use in patients who are older and have cardiac comorbidities. BCL-2 overexpression is well described in a number of B cell malignancies, including WM, leading to inhibition of apoptosis of malignant cells. BCL-2 inhibition with venetoclax has been tested in patients with R/R WM and showed excellent activity with an overall response rate (ORR) of 85% and very good partial response (VGPR) rate of 19%. The therapy was overall well tolerated with no evidence of cardiac toxicity. Given the excellent activity and tolerability of Venetoclax in WM, we are conducting a national cooperative group randomized phase 2 trial comparing ibrutinib+rituximab (IR) vs. venetoclax+rituximab (VR) in patients with newly diagnosed WM. Our hypothesis is that with this trial, we have the potential to develop a more effective therapy targeting BCL-2 for patients with untreated WM, that does not have cardiac or hemostatic toxicity. In addition, we are testing use of a fixed duration therapy with these regimens. Study design and methods: The ongoing clinical trial () is being conducted through the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) and is enrolling at multiple SWOG, ECOG, and ALLIANCE centers throughout the US. Major inclusion criteria include 1) newly diagnosed WM confirmed by biopsy and measurable disease (≥0.5 g/dl IgM type paraprotein), 2) meeting WM-related clinical criteria to initiate therapy (cytopenias, B symptoms, bulky lymphadenopathy, neuropathy, hyperviscosity) 3) adequate blood counts (ANC &gt;1000, HGB ≥7.5, PLT ≥50,000), 4) eGFR ≥30 ml/min, 5) adequate liver function tests (total bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN and AST, ALT and alkaline phosphatase ≤3 x ULN), 6) Zubrod performance status ≤2, 7)prior treatment with single-agent R allowed as long as &gt;6 months prior to registration. Once enrolled the patients will be randomized 1:1 to IR vs. VR. I will be started at 420 mg daily at start of therapy while V will be given at 400mg daily during cycle 1 week 1 and then increased to 800 mg daily from cycle 1 day 8 onwards. R will be given weekly x 4 in cycles 2 and 5. Dose adjustments for both I and V can be done depending on toxicity. Therapy will be given for 2 years and then the patients will be observed off treatment. Patients with disease progression during these 2 years of therapy can cross-over to the other arm. The primary endpoint of the study is rate of VGPR or better. With 41 eligible participants per arm (total N=82), this design has 80% power to reject the null hypothesis of a 25% VGPR rate, given the alternative of a 50% VGPR rate, with a one-sided alpha of 10%. To account for an anticipated 10% ineligibility rate, approximately 46 participants will be accrued per arm (92 total). Current enrollment stands at 15 patients. The secondary end points include ORR, complete response rate, major response rate, progression free and overall survival rates.

Background: Despite substantial improvements in early mortality (EM) for patients with systemic light chain amyloidosis (AL), rates remained high in the bortezomib-era, at approximately 25% (Muchtar et al. Blood. 2017). However, the therapeutic landscape in AL amyloidosis has changed with the ANDROMEDA trial, which led to the approval of daratumumab in combination with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (Dara-VCd) in the frontline setting. The incidence and predictors of EM in the context of daratumumab-based frontline therapy have not been studied. Methods: We performed an international multicenter retrospective cohort study of all consecutive patients with newly diagnosed AL treated with frontline Dara-VCd or Dara-Vd, and followed until 12/31/2023. EM was defined as death from any cause within 6 months of treatment initiation. Our primary objective was to identify the rate and significant predictors of EM. Univariate logistic regression was used to identify significant predictors of EM, which were then included in a multivariate logistic regression model. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to determine the best threshold values that discriminated EM rates for the following continuous variables: age, dFLC (involved-uninvolved), eGFR, NT-proBNP, albumin, and high-sensitivity Troponin-T (hs-TnT). Other variables tested in univariate analysis were the following: ECOG performance status, NYHA functional class, sex, race, light chain isotype, percent bone marrow plasma cells, status of the following cytogenetic abnormalities-t(11;14), +1q, hyperdiploidy, del(13q), high-risk translocations, and del(17p), and the number of organs involved (2 vs 1). To build the clinical prediction score, each variable was weighted according to the β coefficient (natural logarithm of odds ratio) obtained from the multivariable regression. The β coefficients were rounded to the nearest 0.5 and multiplied by 2 to obtain an even number. Results The study cohort included 335 AL patients treated with daratumumab-based frontline therapy (92.2% Dara-VCd, 7.8% Dara-Vd), with all surviving patients having at least 6 months of follow-up. The median age at diagnosis was 66.5 years (range, 59.4 - 71.3), and 6.7% (n = 22) were Non-Hispanic blacks. Median dFLC at diagnosis was 22.91 mg/dL (range, 0.2-1093.4), and median NT-proBNP was 2415 pg/mL (range, 13-70,000). Mayo 2004 stages IIIA/IIIB represented 44% of the total cohort, with 17% having ECOG ≥ 2 and 25.4% having NYHA Class III/IV symptoms. The cumulative incidence of EM was 10.7%, with the incidence in patients with Mayo 2004 stage I, II, IIIA, and IIIB being 0%, 8%, 12.5%, and 25% respectively. On univariate analysis with unadjusted odds ratio (OR), the following variables significantly predicted EM: Age ≥ 75 (OR=2.8, p=0.013) ECOG ≥ 2, (OR 4.9, p&lt;0.001), NYHA Class ≥ III (OR=4.95, p&lt;0.001), dFLC ≥9 mg/dL (OR, 10.18, p=0.023), eGFR &lt;33 mL/min/1.73 m2 (OR=2.7, p=0.026), NT-proBNP &gt;5276 pg/mL (OR=7.69, p &lt;0.001), hs-TnT &gt;70 ng/L (OR=5.88, p&lt;0.001), and absence of t(11; 14) (OR=2.33, p=0.041). These variables were entered into multivariate regression, except for ECOG and NYHA, which were combined to create a single variable (values ranging from 0-8), and hs-TnT was dropped due to substantial missing data as centers used different troponin assays. NT-proBNP was rounded to 5300 pg/ml for ease of clinical application. Based on the multivariate analysis, the following scores were assigned to each variable: Age ≥75 (2.0), ECOG+NYHA (1.0 x combined score), NT-proBNP &gt;5,300 pg/ml (2.0), and absence of t(11;14) (3.0). This led to a score ranging from 1-15, and two risk-groups: low-risk (score &lt;9; 87.5%) and high-risk (score ≥9; 12.5%). The respective cumulative incidence of EM was 6.1% versus 50% (p&lt;0.001). The c-index of the model was 0.725 (95% CI, 0.676-0.774). Conclusion: Using variables that are readily available in the clinic, we have developed a two-tiered risk-prediction model for EM in AL amyloidosis in the context of daratumumab-based frontline therapy. The model needs to be externally validated in an independent dataset.

Abstract We performed an international retrospective study on 283 patients with light chain (AL) amyloidosis to investigate the prognostic impact of cytogenetic abnormalities by fluorescence in situ hybridization, when treated with frontline daratumumab–based therapy. The cytogenetic subgroups of interest were t(11;14), gain/amp(1q) (hereafter, +1q), hyperdiploidy, deletion(13q), del(17p), and myeloma high-risk (HR) translocations (t[4;14], t[14;16], or t[14;20]). The end points of interest were rate of hematologic complete response (heme-CR), very good partial response (VGPR) or better, and hematologic event-free survival (heme-EFS). The incidence of abnormalities was as follows: t(11;14), 53.4%; deletion (13q), 28.9%; +1q, 22.3%; hyperdiploidy, 19.4%; HR translocations, 6.6%; and deletion(17p), 4.5%. The heme-CR rate by cytogenetic subgroups were as follows: t(11;14) vs no t(11;14), 45.2% vs 41.8% (P=0.597); del(13q) vs no del(13q), 46.8% vs 42.8% (P=0.594); +1q vs no +1q, 30.2% vs 47.9% (P=0.022); hyperdiploidy vs no hyperdiploidy, 39.5% vs 44.9% (P=0.541); HR translocations vs none, 45.5% vs 43.1% (P=0.877); and del(17p) vs no del(17p), 50.0% vs 42.9% (P=0.658), respectively. Similarly, +1q was the only subgroup with a significantly lower VGPR or better rate (64.2% vs 79.0%; P=0.033). At a median follow-up of 19.8 months, the median heme-EFS was 49.6 months (95% CI, 24.7-not reached [NR]), and the 2-year overall survival (OS) was 80.98% (95% CI, 75.6-85.4). The presence of +1q was significantly associated with worse heme-EFS on multivariate analysis (HR 2.06, 95% CI, 1.14-3.71; P=0.017). Notably, there was no adverse prognostic impact of t(11;14) on heme-EFS or OS. In conclusion, +1q is associated with worse outcome in the daratumumab-era. Clinical trials testing novel frontline immunotherapies should be enriched in +1q to further improve outcomes in this subgroup.

ImportanceSystematic data on the association between anticancer therapies and thromboembolic events (TEEs) in patients with COVID-19 are lacking.ObjectiveTo assess the association between anticancer therapy exposure within 3 months prior to COVID-19 and TEEs following COVID-19 diagnosis in patients with cancer.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis registry-based retrospective cohort study included patients who were hospitalized and had active cancer and laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Data were accrued from March 2020 to December 2021 and analyzed from December 2021 to October 2022.ExposureTreatments of interest (TOIs) (endocrine therapy, vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors/tyrosine kinase inhibitors [VEGFis/TKIs], immunomodulators [IMiDs], immune checkpoint inhibitors [ICIs], chemotherapy) vs reference (no systemic therapy) in 3 months prior to COVID-19.Main Outcomes and MeasuresMain outcomes were (1) venous thromboembolism (VTE) and (2) arterial thromboembolism (ATE). Secondary outcome was severity of COVID-19 (rates of intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation, 30-day all-cause mortality following TEEs in TOI vs reference group) at 30-day follow-up.ResultsOf 4988 hospitalized patients with cancer (median [IQR] age, 69 [59-78] years; 2608 [52%] male), 1869 had received 1 or more TOIs. Incidence of VTE was higher in all TOI groups: endocrine therapy, 7%; VEGFis/TKIs, 10%; IMiDs, 8%; ICIs, 12%; and chemotherapy, 10%, compared with patients not receiving systemic therapies (6%). In multivariable log-binomial regression analyses, relative risk of VTE (adjusted risk ratio [aRR], 1.33; 95% CI, 1.04-1.69) but not ATE (aRR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.56-1.16) was significantly higher in those exposed to all TOIs pooled together vs those with no exposure. Among individual drugs, ICIs were significantly associated with VTE (aRR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.01-2.07). Also noted were significant associations between VTE and active and progressing cancer (aRR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.01-2.03), history of VTE (aRR, 3.10; 95% CI, 2.38-4.04), and high-risk site of cancer (aRR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.14-1.75). Black patients had a higher risk of TEEs (aRR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.03-1.50) than White patients. Patients with TEEs had high intensive care unit admission (46%) and mechanical ventilation (31%) rates. Relative risk of death in patients with TEEs was higher in those exposed to TOIs vs not (aRR, 1.12; 95% CI, 0.91-1.38) and was significantly associated with poor performance status (aRR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.30-2.40) and active/progressing cancer (aRR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.13-2.13).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study, relative risk of developing VTE was high among patients receiving TOIs and varied by the type of therapy, underlying risk factors, and demographics, such as race and ethnicity. These findings highlight the need for close monitoring and perhaps personalized thromboprophylaxis to prevent morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19–related thromboembolism in patients with cancer.
