Rapid dFLC Response Predict CHR in AL Amyloidosis

March 6, 2026 updated by: Jin Lu, MD, Peking University People's Hospital

Rapid dFLC Response Predict Complete Hematologica Response in Systemic AL Amyloidosis Patients Treated With Daratumumab-based Regimen

Light chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis) is a rare plasma cell dyscrasia characterized by the deposition of insoluble amyloid fibrils in multiple organ systems. The treatment of amyloidosis primarily relies on anti-plasma cell therapy and supportive care. The application of anti-plasma cell therapy has significantly improved outcomes in patients with AL amyloidosis. Standard first-line therapy typically includes daratumumab, bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (Dara-BCD), achieving a complete hematologic response in nearly 60% of patients.The depth and speed of the hematologic response are strongly correlated with organ response and overall survival. An early achievement of a complete hematologic response is particularly crucial in cases of AL amyloidosis characterized by significant organ involvement. The median time to a hematologic response for the daratumumab based treatment is only 7-9 days. The retrospective data showed that the hematologic response in Day 7 in Cycle 1 (C1D7) may predict the complete hematologic response rate. In order to validate the conclusion, the investigator design this prospective study.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Group 1

All patients in this cohort receive daratumumab, bortezomib and dexamethasone as treatment.

All patients receive additional sFLC examination in C1D7, C1D14.

The treament follow the clinical routine practice, as daratumumab 16mg/kg iv qw OR dara SC 1800mg initially. The treatment schedule involve weekly administrations during cycles 1 to 2, following by biweekly administrations during cycles 3 to 6. Subsequently, monthly administrations are given as monotherapy.
Bortezomib is administered subcutaneously. The dosage range from 0.7 to 1.3 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle, for a maximum of 6 cycles
Dexamethasone is administered intravenously at a dose of 40 mg weekly for each cycle, for a maximum of 6 cycles. For patients over 70 years of age or with severe edema, heart failure, or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, dexamethasone can be administered at a dose of 10-20 mg per week.
Some patients may receive cyclophosphamide orally or intravenously at a dosage of 300 mg/m2 weekly.
The treament follow the clinical routine practice, as daratumumab 16mg/kg iv qw OR dara SC 1800mg initially. The treatment schedule involve weekly administrations during cycles 1 to 2, following by biweekly administrations during cycles 3 to 6. Subsequently, monthly administrations are given as monotherapy.
