This Phase I/II, open‑label study evaluates elranatamab given by subcutaneous injection in people with relapsed or refractory AL amyloidosis. Phase 1 uses dose escalation with hospitalization during Cycle 1 dosing to find a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D); Phase 2 expands at that dose. Up to 49 participants are planned and treatment is given in six 28‑day cycles.
What it is studying. The study tests the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous elranatamab, seeks the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and measures hematologic response rates (complete response, very good partial response, partial response), duration of response, progression-free and overall survival, and the incidence and severity of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell–associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS).
What the researchers hope to learn. Determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D); evaluate objective response rate (CR, VGPR, PR); assess safety and tolerability and catalog treatment-related adverse events; measure duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival; and record incidence and grade of CRS and ICANS and major‑organ deterioration outcomes.

Eligibility
The criteria exactly as listed on ClinicalTrials.gov. Only the study team can say whether they apply to you.
Inclusion criteria
- Previously diagnosed with AL amyloidosis based on IMWG criteria who have relapsed or refractory disease after treatment with at least one prior line of therapy (minimum 2 cycles).
- Participants must have progression of light chain disease, defined as dFLC >20mg/L.
- For Phase 2 only, measurable hematologic disease, satisfying one of the following criteria: Difference between involved and uninvolved free light chain (FLC) over 40 mg/L; Abnormal level of FLC with an abnormal κ/λ ratio (except in participants with CKD stage 3 or higher where a rise of lambda FLC to an abnormal level and of at least 50% over the nadir with a normal κ/λ ratio is acceptable); A serum M spike measuring ≥ 0.5 g/dL
- Age ≥ 18 years

- The effects of elranatamab on the developing human fetus are unknown. Based on the mechanism of action, elranatamab may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman and therefore should not be used during pregnancy. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation and until 90 days since the last dose of elranatamab. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 90 days after completion of elranatamab administration.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
- Willingness to undergo study procedures, including bone marrow biopsies as detailed in the schedule of events.
- Participants should have received prior treatment with Daratumumab + CyBorD.
Exclusion criteria
- Prior BCMA-targeting bispecific antibodies or BCMA-targeting CAR-T therapy.
- Participants refractory to belantamab mafodotin OR participants that have received belantamab as the immediate past line of therapy.
- Participants who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > Grade 1) with the exception of alopecia.
- Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents for this condition.
- Participants with Stage IIIB Amyloidosis as defined by the 2004 Mayo Clinic Criteria (see above).
- History of allergic reactions to elranatamab.
- Participants with an active malignancy (including lymphoma) with the following exceptions: adequately treated basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or in situ cervical cancer; adequately treated stage I cancer from which the patient is currently in remission and has been for over 2 years; low-risk prostate cancer with a Gleason score < 7 and prostate specific antigen < 10ng/mL; other localized, indolent and/or low risk cancer may be permitted
- Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant while enrolled in this study or 4 months following discontinuation of elranatamab, whichever is longer. Pregnant women are excluded from this study because elranatamab is an agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with elranatamab, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with elranatamab.
- Have any other medical, social or psychological factors that could affect the participant's safety or ability to consent personally or comply with study procedures.
- Participants meeting criteria for active MM based on presence of CRAB criteria (a ratio of involved versus uninvolved FLC over 100 is allowed in the absence of CRAB criteria).
- Participants with active clinically significant autoimmune diseases.
- Participants seropositive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
- Severe, uncontrolled orthostatic hypotension resulting in syncopal/pre-syncopal events despite optimized medical management (e.g., midodrine, pyridostigmine) and in the absence of volume depletion.

- Major surgery that required general anesthesia within 4 weeks of randomization or is planning major surgery during the study.
- NYHA class IV symptoms or participants with acute decompensation of congestive heart failure.
- Transplant eligible participants who have not undergone transplant are not eligible.
Study description and what participation involves
The study's detailed description, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Detailed description from the registry
This is a Phase I/II, multi-center, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of elranatamab in patients with relapsed or refractory light chain (AL) amyloidosis. Phase 1 will enroll 4-20 participants, beginning enrollment at Dose Level 0. If two or more participants at Level 0 experience DLT, dose will be decreased to Level -1. Each participant will complete the 28-day dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) evaluation period prior to dosing the next patient. Assuming a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) is found, Phase 2 will enroll an additional 29 participants for a total of 49 participants. Dose level 0 consists of: Cycle 1: 12 mg (D1)/32 mg (D4)/ 76 mg (D8, 15, 22); Cycle 2: 76 mg on D1, D8, D15 and D22. If < VGPR after Cycle 2: Cycles 3-6: 76 mg on D1, 8, 15 and 22. If ≥ VGPR after Cycle 2: Cycles 3-6: 76 mg on D1 and 15 Dose Level -1 consists of: Cycle 1: 12 mg (D1)/32 mg (D4)/ 76 mg (D8, D22), Cycles 2-6: 76 mg D1 and D15

Participants receive subcutaneous elranatamab on a multi‑dose schedule for up to six 28‑day cycles; Phase 1 determines a recommended Phase 2 dose and Phase 2 uses that dose. Phase 1 participants are hospitalized during Cycle 1 dosing (first 5 for 9 days, later participants for 5 days); Phase 2 participants receive the RP2D; the registry does not state whether Phase 2 includes the same Cycle 1 hospitalization. Study visits include regular safety checks (blood tests, ECGs), response assessments, and required bone marrow biopsies as detailed in the protocol. Dosing schedule may differ by dose level and the study includes close monitoring for side effects such as cytokine release or neurologic events.
How the study is structured. Interventional, single-group, open‑label Phase I/II trial. Phase 1 is a dose‑finding escalation with a 28‑day dose‑limiting toxicity (DLT) evaluation period; participants are hospitalized during Cycle 1 dosing. If an RP2D is identified, Phase 2 enrolls additional participants who all receive that dose. Treatment is given by subcutaneous injection for up to six 28‑day cycles.

Terms used on this page · explanations by MedicalUpdates.ai
- relapsed or refractory
- A condition that has not responded to a treatment. 'Relapsed' means it responded and then came back; 'refractory' means it did not respond in the first place.
- line of therapy
- Treatment a person has already had for the condition. A 'line of therapy' is one course of treatment; studies often require, or limit, the number of prior lines.
- dFLC
- The difference between the abnormal ('involved') and normal ('uninvolved') free light chain levels in the blood. Used in some conditions to decide whether disease is measurable and to track response.
- Phase 2
- A study that tests whether a treatment has the intended effect and continues to check safety, usually in a larger group than phase 1.
- free light chain
- Small pieces of antibody protein made by plasma cells and measured in a blood test. In some conditions, such as AL amyloidosis, abnormal free light chains are the source of the disease.
- ECOG performance status
- A scale from 0 to 5 that describes how a person's condition affects daily activity. 0 means fully active; 1 means restricted in strenuous activity; 2 means able to self-care but unable to work; higher numbers mean more limitation.
- Karnofsky
- A scale from 100 (no complaints) down to 0 that describes how well a person can carry out daily activities. Studies often require a minimum score.
- Absolute neutrophil count
- The number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that fights infection, in a blood sample. Studies often require it to be above a set level.
- upper limit of normal
- The highest value of a blood test that a laboratory considers normal. Criteria such as '≤ 3 × ULN' mean the result must be no more than three times that value.
- adverse event
- Any unwanted medical problem that happens during a study, whether or not it was caused by the treatment. A 'serious' adverse event is one that meets specific criteria, such as causing death, being life-threatening, requiring or prolonging hospital admission, causing significant disability, or another medically important outcome.
- written informed consent
- The process of explaining a study, including its risks and what participation involves, so that a person can decide freely whether to take part. Consent is usually documented in writing, and a participant can choose to leave the study later.
- bispecific
- An engineered antibody that attaches to two targets at once, often linking an immune cell to a diseased cell so the immune cell can attack it.
- CAR-T
- A treatment in which a person's own immune cells (T cells) are collected, modified in a laboratory to recognise a target, and returned to the body.
- investigational
- A treatment that is being tested and has not been approved for this use. It may be approved for a different condition. Being studied does not mean it works or is available outside the study.
- autologous stem cell transplant
- A procedure that replaces blood-forming cells after high-dose treatment. 'Autologous' uses the person's own cells collected beforehand; 'allogeneic' uses cells from a donor.
- prior to screening
- The checks done before enrolment to see whether a person qualifies, such as tests, scans or a review of medical history.
- echocardiogram
- An ultrasound scan of the heart. A transesophageal echocardiogram is done through a probe passed into the food pipe for a closer view.
- QTcF
- A recording of the heart's electrical activity. QTc is one measurement from it; some drugs are avoided if it is prolonged.
- randomization
- Participants are assigned to the study groups by chance, like a coin toss, rather than chosen by the doctor or the participant. This is done so the groups are comparable.
- Inclusion Criteria
- The conditions a person must meet to be considered for the study, for example a confirmed diagnosis, an age range or a test result.
- Exclusion Criteria
- The conditions that rule a person out even if they meet the inclusion criteria, for example other illnesses, certain medicines or pregnancy.
- open-label
- No masking is used, so the assigned intervention is not deliberately hidden from participants or study staff.
- Phase 1
- An early-stage study, usually small, mainly to check safety, side effects and how much of a treatment can be given. Whether it works is not the main question yet.
- enrollment
- The number of participants a study plans to include, or has included. 'Estimated' means the planned number; 'actual' means the number who joined.
- DLT
- A side effect, defined in advance, that is severe enough to limit how far the dose can be raised in a dose-escalation study. How many such events stop escalation is set by the study's rules.
- recommended phase 2 dose
- The dose chosen at the end of a phase 1 study for testing in later studies, based on safety and other measurements.
- VGPR
- A response category used in some blood conditions meaning the disease marker has fallen a great deal but not disappeared. The exact definition depends on the condition and the study.
