AL Amyloidosis

  • Primary AL Amyloidosis is a disorder characterized by presence of a

Monoclonal Plasma cell population in the Bone Marrow leading to production and extracellular deposition of abnormal monoclonal Immunoglobulin Light chains in one or more organs

  • Overall Incidence 8 per million per year
  • Heart and Kidney are the most commonly affected organs (70%)
  • The deposition of the Monoclonal immunoglobulin can lead to
  • rgan dysfunction manifested diastolic dysfunction and Heart failure

with cardiac involvement and Proteinuria and renal failure with renal involvement

Cardiac AL Amyloidosis-Prognosis

  • Degree of Cardiac dysfunction

remains the main prognostic factor for survival in patients with systemic Amyloidosis

  • Revised Mayo clinic staging system

consists of the following factors:

  • 1. NT-Pro-BNP ≥1800pg/ml
  • 2. Troponin T ≥ 0.025 ng/ml
  • 3. Free light chain difference ≥

18mg/dl

Fibril directed therapy for AL Amyloidosis mu11-1F4

Untreated Treated

  • mu 11-1F4 mAb is a monoclonal

IgG1 antibody that binds to a conformational epitope present

  • n both human kappa and

lambda light-chain amyloid fibrils

  • The 11-1F4 mAb leads to

dissolution of human ALλ and κ amyloidomas in mice

Global Longitudinal Strain

  • Longitudinal strain is an Echocardiographic

measurement of base to apical shortening of the left Ventricle during each cardiac cycle

  • It can be reported by each cardiac region or as a

global average called Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS)

  • Sensitive and specific marker for diagnosis as

well as prognosis of Cardiac Amyloidosis

  • As a diagnostic tool apical sparing has been

shown to be a specific marker of Cardiac Amyloidosis

dose-escalation phase 1b study of Ch IgG1 11-1F4 mAb (CAEL- 101)

  • Patients who received anti-plasma cell directed therapy in the

past but with persistent organ dysfunction.

Study Design

  • Phase 1b study of patients with systemic AL amyloidosis (N=19)
  • All patients underwent transthoracic echocardiograms at screening

and 12 weeks post therapy

  • GLS was measured using speckle-tracking (TomTec-Arena 1.2,

Germany) and calculated as an average of 4-, 2-, and 3- chamber based measurements

  • Paired student’s t-test was used to compare echocardiographic

variables at screening and 12 weeks after therapy start with CAEL-

  • 101. GLS was correlated with NT-proBNP using Pearson correlation

coefficient

Results-Organ Response (phase 1b)

  • 10 patients had cardiac involvement but 8 were considered

evaluable for NT-proBNP response

  • 6/8 (75%) evaluable patients with Cardiac involvement met cardiac

response criteria with ≥ 30% decrease in NT-proBNP

  • 4/7 (57%) patients with Renal involvement met Renal response

criteria with ≥ 50% decrease in 24 hour urine proteinuria

  • Median time to organ response was 3 weeks
  • Overall 17/19 patients were alive at a median follow up of 19

months

  • No difference in organ response rates in patients with and without

active hematologic disease

Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS)

  • Mean GLS at screening was -15.58  -4.14% in patients with cardiac

Amyloidosis vs -22.77  -3.12% in patients without cardiac Amyloidosis

  • Mean GLS improved significantly in 9/10 patients with cardiac

involvement from -15.58  -4.14% at screening to -17.37  -3.53% at week 12, p = 0.004

  • Pearson correlation coefficient between NT-proBNP response and GLS

response (in 8 cardiac evaluable patients) was 0.345

  • No changes in GLS in patients without cardiac involvement (Mean GLS -22.77  -

3.12% at screening and -22.36  -3.02% at end of treatment)

Conclusion

  • 1. Monoclonal antibody CAEL-101 is able to induce rapid
  • rgan responses in patients with AL Amyloidosis
  • 2. Improvement in Global Longitudinal Strain correlates with

improvement in NT-proBNP in in patients with cardiac AL Amyloidosis treated with CAEL-101

  • 3. Global Longitudinal Strain should be further evaluated as

a marker of early Cardiac Response in patients with Cardiac AL Amyloidosis
