Amyloidosis Research

Amyloidosis Clinical Trials

The key to finding better treatments for rare diseases for which the standard of care is not acceptable is the constant collaboration between scientists, pharmaceutical companies and clinical investigators. This partnership is the only way to move therapies swiftly from our on-campus research labs to patients. The quality and frequency of this interaction allows us to get potentially life-extending therapies to our patients quickly.

Clinical Trials for Newly Diagnosed Patients

  • IRB No. 20342: Phase 3, double-blind, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAEL-101 and plasma cell dyscrasia treatment versus placebo and plasma cell dyscrasia treatment in plasma cell dyscrasia treatment-naive patients with Mayo Stage 3b amyloidosis
    Principal investigator: Michael Rosenzweig, M.D., M.S.
  • IRB No. 20343: Phase 3, double-blind, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAEL-101and plasma cell dyscrasia treatment versus placebo and plasma cell dyscrasia treatment in plasma cell dyscrasia treatment-naive patients with Mayo Stage 3a amyloidosis
    Principal investigator: Michael Rosenzweig, M.D., M.S.
  • IRB No. 21747: Phase 2, multicohort study of daratumumab-based therapies in participants with amyloid light chain amyloidosis
    Protocol 54767414AMY2009: relapsed disease
  • IRB No. 20563: Phase1, open-label, dose-escalation study of the safety and efficacy of an anti-CD38 antibody drug conjugate (STl-6129) in patients with relapsed or refractory systemic amyloidosis
    Principal investigator: Michael Rosenzweig, M.D., M.S.
  • IRB No. 21395: A Phase 1/la study of venetoclax, MLN9708 (ixazomib citrate) and dexamethasone for relapsed or refractory light chain amyloidosis
    Principal investigator: Michael Rosenzweig, M.D., M.S.
