Brief summary

AL amyloidosis begins in the bone marrow where abnormal proteins misfold and create free light chains that cannot be broken down. These free light chains bind together to form amyloid fibrils that build up in the extracellular space of organs, affecting the kidneys, heart, liver, spleen, nervous system and digestive tract. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the recommended dose of CAEL-101 to facilitate progression of further clinical trials and evaluate safety and tolerability of CAEL-101 in combination with the standard of care (SoC) cyclophosphamide-bortezomib-dexamethasone (CyBorD) chemotherapy and daratumumab .

Detailed description

This is a multicenter, open-label, sequential cohort, dose-selection study of CAEL-101 in Mayo Stage I, Stage II and Stage IIIa AL amyloidosis patients. CAEL-101 will be administered in combination with the standard of care (SoC) cyclophosphamide-bortezomib-dexamethasone (CyBorD) chemotherapy and daratumumab. The study is divided into two parts with the following objectives: * Part A defines the safety and tolerability of CAEL-101 in combination with SoC CyBorD and determines the recommended Phase 3 dose (RP3D) of CAEL-101 * Part B evaluates the safety and tolerability of CAEL-101 in combination with SoC CyBorD and daratumumab The study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of CAEL-101 and explore the PK profile of CAEL-101 when given bi-weekly (q2wk) versus once-monthly (q4wk) after the first 50 weeks. Part A of the study will employ a 3+3 dose escalation design. At least 3 patients will be enrolled in each dose cohort unless adverse events (AE) preventing further dosing are observed. CAEL-101 will be administered in combination with the SoC CyBorD chemotherapy. In Part B, a minimum of 6 new patients will receive CAEL-101 administered in combination with SoC CyBorD and daratumumab. Patients from both Parts A and B will receive CAEL-101 therapy weekly and SoC throughout the safety observation period. CAEL-101 study drug infusions will continue, with dosing approximately every two weeks (q2wk) thereafter. SoC will continue per the Investigator's discretion. After completing approximately 50 weeks of treatment, participants may switch to an alternative maintenance dosing regimen of every four weeks (q4wk), if agreed upon by the Investigator and the Sponsor Medical Monitor. Approximately 25 patients will be enrolled in the study at approximately 3 investigator sites. Patients will be treated with CAEL-101 until death, unacceptable toxicity, symptomatic deterioration, Investigator decision, patient decision or Sponsor decision to terminate the study.

Interventions

The investigational product, CAEL-101, is formulated as a sterile liquid solution of protein plus excipients for dilution in a single-use, stoppered, glass vial. Each 10 mL vial contains 300 mg of CAEL-101 at a concentration of 30 mg/mL. CAEL-101 will be diluted with commercially available 0.9% Normal Saline.

Intervention model description

This is a multicenter, open-label, sequential cohort, dose-selection study of CAEL-101 in Mayo Stage I, II and IIIa AL amyloidosis patients. The study is divided into two parts: * Part A defines the safety and tolerability of CAEL-101 in combination with SoC CyBorD and determines the RP3D * Part B evaluates the safety and tolerability of CAEL-101 in combination with SoC CyBorD and daratumumab Part A will employ a 3+3 dose escalation design. At least 3 patients will be enrolled in each dose cohort unless adverse events (AE) preventing further dosing are observed. Part B will enroll a minimum of 6 patients. Patients will be seen in the clinic weekly for 4 weeks to receive study drug infusions. Study drug infusions will be bi-weekly thereafter or every 4 weeks after 50 weeks, if participants switch to an alternative dosing schedule. Patients are treated until death, toxicity, symptomatic deterioration, Investigator, patient, or Sponsor decision to terminate.

An adverse event (AE) was as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An SAE was an AE that met at least 1 of the following criteria: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization for the AE, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect (in the child of a participant who was exposed to the study drug), or an important medical event or reaction.

A summary of all Serious Adverse Events and Other Adverse Events (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Reported Adverse Events' Section.

Time frame: First dose of study drug until 140 days after last dose of study drug (Maximum exposure: 38.90 months for Part A and 32.50 months for Part B)

Population: Safety Set included all participants who were treated with at least 1 dose of CAEL-101. AE data were collected for the participants in the DLT period (Part A) by dose separately. Additionally, the AE data for participants in the DLT period were also collected regardless of dose level received along with the AE data collected during the Part A Continued Treatment (Part A) period as an Overall arm.
