Screening for AL Amyloidosis in Smoldering Multiple Myeloma

Study Purpose

In this multicenter study, we will recruit 400 patients 40 years of age or older at 15 centers with a diagnosis of smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), a group of patients for whom standard of care is observation not treatment. The main goal of this study is to screen for the diagnosis of light-chain amyloidosis (AL) before the onset of symptomatic disease and to develop a training set for a likelihood algorithm.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - Patients 40 years of age and older.
  • - diagnosed with Smoldering Multiple Myeloma.
  • - dFLC greater than 23 mg/L.
  • - abnormal FLC ratio.
  • - If the patient has an eGFR less than 50 mL/min/1.73m2, the FLC ratio is inconsequential.
The patient only needs to meet the age and dFLC criterion.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Patients younger than 40 years of age are not eligible.
  • - Patients with a previous finding of amyloid in other biopsies will not be included.
- Adults unable to consent are not eligible, including the cognitively impaired Pregnant women, pregnant minors, minors (i.e., individuals who are not yet adults), wards of the state, non-viable neonates, neonates of uncertain viability, and prisoners are not eligible

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06365060
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This study is based on results from two prior studies in which 4 of 36 patients with SMM and none of 14 patients with MGUS were found to have AL. The hypothesis that we test with this protocol is that patients with

  • (1) a pre-existing diagnosis of SMM, (2) free light chain (FLC) abnormalities, (3) IGLV genes associated with AL,(4) t(11;14) or gain 1q, and (5) NT-proBNP > 332pg/mL will have undiagnosed AL or risk of progression to AL.
We will study the potential for SMM, the FLC screen, AL-related IGLV gene use, t(11;14) or gain 1q cytogenetic abnormalities, and NT-proBNP > 332pg/mL to be the variables in a likelihood algorithm for AL.
