A Focus on Minimizing Toxicity

Amyloidosis• Protein Conformation/Deposition

Disorder

• AL Amyloidosis

• Hereditary Amyloidosis– Transthyretin

– Fibrinogen Aα

– Apolipoprotein AI and AII

– Lysozyme

• Secondary Amyloidosis

AL Amyloidosis

• Monoclonal plasma cell disorder

• 3,000 cases annually in the USA

• 10% of patients are < 50 years old

• Presenting symptoms are varied

• Delays in diagnosis are common

Comenzo and Gertz, Blood, 15 June 2002, Vol. 99, No. 12, pp. 4276-4282

• Clonal plasma cell disorder

• λ to κ ratio ~ 3:1

• Plasma cells less than 30%

• Low proliferation

• Small portion of light chains are amyloidogenic

• Certain variable regions more likely

Establishing the Clinical Diagnosis

Assay% Positive

(CI)1

FLC / ratio 91 (84–96)

Serum IFE 69 (60–78)

Urine IFE 83 (74–89)

Serum IFE + urine IFE 95 (90–99)

FLC / ratio + urine IFE 91 (84–96)

FLC / ratio + serum IFE 99 (95–100)

All 3 assays 99 (95–100)

Clinical Chemistry 51: 878-881, 2005.

Prognosis

• Cardiac involvement

• Age

• Number of organs involved

• Cardiac Biomarkers

• Serum Free Light Chain

• Fluid retention during mobilization

Cardiac Biomarker Staging System

Dispenzieri A, J Clin Oncol. 2004 Sep 15;22(18):3751-7.

Stage INormal Troponin and NT-ProBNP

26 months

Stage IIEither Troponin-T >0.03ng/L or NT-ProBNP >36 pMol/L

10 months

Stage III Both abnormal3.5 months

Cardiac Biomarker are Prognostic Even in Patients without a Clinical Suspicion of Cardiac Involvement

Troponin T as Predictor of TRM

Principles of Treatment:The Overflowing Sink Theory

• Unclog the drain (impair assembly, prevent filament formation, dissolve fibrils)

• Turn off the faucet (cytoreduction of plasma cells)

Sanchorwala, IMW, 2009

New Therapies: Targeting the Clone

• Lenalidomide

• Bortezomib

• Mel/Dex/Bortezomib

• CyBorD

• Carfilzomib

Lenalidomide

• Lenalidomide: Highly active derivative of thalidomide. Effective alone and with dexamethasone for patient with myeloma

• Two independent phase II studies. The combination of dex plus lenalidomide improved response rates

Lenalidomide: Conclusions

• Toxicity significant at 25mg 21/28 days

• Starting dose should be at most 15mg 21/28 days

• Should be used in combination with dex if possible
