Active clinical trials for "Amyloidosis"

This study is a single-center exploratory clinical trial. It is estimated that 6-12 subjects will be enrolled. The "BOIN" dose escalation design is adopted. The main purpose is to evaluate the safety of FKC288 in the treatment of subjects with relapsed or refractory AL amyloidosis and explore the recommended phase II dose of FKC288 in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory systemic Light Chain (AL) amyloidosis.

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding a stem cell transplant with melphalan after completing chemotherapy with daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (Dara-VCD) versus chemotherapy with Dara-VCD alone for treating patients with newly diagnosed amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis. Melphalan is a chemotherapy given prior to a stem cell transplant. Giving chemotherapy before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. The stem cells are then returned to the patients to replace the blood forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and cancer cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cyclophosphamide and bortezomib, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to lower the body's immune response to help stop the growth of cancer cells. Giving a stem cell transplant with melphalan after Dara-VCD may kill more cancer cells in patients with newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis.

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of venetoclax, daratumumab, and dexamethasone for the treatment of systemic light-chain amyloidosis in patients with a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) abnormality called a translocation involving chromosomes 11 and 14, or "t(11;14)". Venetoclax works by attaching to a protein called Bcl-2, in order to kill cancer cells. Daratumumab works by binding to a target on the surface of cancer cells called CD38. When daratumumab binds to CD38, it enables the immune system to find the cancer cell and kill it. Dexamethasone is a type of drug called a corticosteroid. A corticosteroid is a drug made of artificial steroid hormones, that are used to treat symptoms such as inflammation (swelling and irritation to a part of the body). The combination of these medications may more effectively treat patients with systemic light-chain amyloidosis and t(11;14).

The primary aim of this observational registry is to evaluate the efficacy of CCM in patients with heart failure with mid-range or reduced EF and diagnosis of TTR amyloidosis. The efficacy will be evaluated in terms of composite of occurrence of heart failure-related hospitalizations and/or acute intravenous interventions (IVI) at 12-month follow up compared to those reported 12 months before CCM implantation. Among the secondary endpoints, clinical functional status, quality of life, drug changes and Echocardiographic parameters will be evaluated and compared from baseline to follow up.

In this study, patients diagnosed with Al-CM were selected to observe the effect of treatment and conduct long-term follow-up.

Creating a population-based registry system Amyloidosis prospective epidemiological survey risk factors diagnosis prognosis treatment monitoring survival Describe the occurrence of amyloidosis in the population of HIBA, Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires. Describe the characteristics of clinical presentation, evolution and predisposing factors of amyloidosis.

Systemic amyloidosis is a multi-system disease caused by extracellular deposition of insoluble amyloid fibrils in various tissues and organs, leading to progressive organ dysfunction. The clinical manifestations of different types of amyloidosis are complex and diverse, and the prognosis is very poor. Early detection and classification of amyloid deposition is becoming increasingly important. However, conventional imaging techniques including ultrasound and magnetic resonance are not sensitive or specific. Endocardial biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis, but it is an invasive procedure with a clinical complication rate of 6%. Positron emission tomography (PET) provides a valuable tool for diagnosing systemic amyloidosis. Recently, amyloid PET imaging agents (11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir) have been shown to be effective as novel positron tracers to detect potential amyloid deposition in some small sample studies. The investigators will use the most advanced imaging equipment, integrated PET/MR with amyloid PET imaging agents(11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir) to image patients suspected or confirmed systemic amyloidosis, the aim is to explore the value of hybrid PET/MR for systemic amyloidosis.

Secondary Data Collection : To confirm the safety and effectiveness profiles under the actual medical practice of Vyndaqel in Japan. This study is conducted in accordance with the protocol even when Vynmac is used, and information the use of Vynmac during the observation period is also collected.

This non-interventioal study will be performed by design of post-marketing surveillance (PMS) as an additional pharmacovigilance activity of the Risk Management Plan (RMP) for Vyndamax® Capsules, which is required by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) according to the local regulation. This post-marketing surveillance will investigate the safety and effectiveness of Vyndamax® Capsules as the treatment of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy during 10 years under the setting of routine practice in Korea.

The study team will generate preliminary data on whether patients with cardiac amyloidosis feel better when their beta-blocker is stopped. To achieve this objective, 20 N-of-1 trials (on vs. off) will be conducted, and the study team will subsequently interview participants to better understand their outcomes. Each subject will participate in 2 periods lasting between up to 6 weeks each based on each patient's health profile. We will also engage stakeholders to understand the acceptability and feasibility of deprescribing N-of-1 trials. The N-of-1 trials will be iteratively refined in real-time based on feedback.
