Immunoglobulin light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is a lethal condition resulting from misfolded immunoglobulin ALs produced by clonal CD38-positive plasma cells. Treatment with daratumumab, an anti-human CD38 monoclonal antibody, led to higher frequencies of complete hematologic response and better clinical outcomes compared with conventional treatment. This study sought to evaluate the survival benefit of daratumumab-containing regimens in patients with AL cardiac amyloidosis.
We examined 65 consecutive patients with AL cardiac amyloidosis (mean age: 67.2 ± 10.4 years, male: 69 %) who underwent chemotherapy. We divided patients into a daratumumab group, which used daratumumab-containing regimens before second-line treatment (n = 32), and a conventional treatment group (n = 33). Compared with the conventional treatment group, the daratumumab group tended to be older, but there were no significant differences between groups in biomarkers and echocardiographic parameters. A total of 26 patients (40 %) died (median follow-up duration: 395 days). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the daratumumab group had significantly lower mortality compared with the conventional treatment group (p = 0.04; log-rank test). Cox hazard analysis revealed that use of daratumumab-containing regimens was associated with lower mortality after adjustment for the revised Mayo staging of AL amyloidosis (hazard ratio: 0.32; 95 % confidence interval: 0.12 to 0.85; p = 0.02).
Daratumumab-containing regimens may be associated with improved survival in patients with AL cardiac amyloidosis.
免疫球蛋白轻链(AL)淀粉样变性是一种由克隆性CD38阳性浆细胞产生的错误折叠免疫球蛋白AL导致的致命疾病。与传统治疗相比,使用抗人CD38单克隆抗体达雷妥尤单抗进行治疗可使完全血液学缓解的频率更高,临床结局更好。本研究旨在评估含达雷妥尤单抗方案对AL心脏淀粉样变性患者的生存获益。
我们检查了65例接受化疗的连续性AL心脏淀粉样变性患者(平均年龄:67.2±10.4岁,男性:69%)。我们将患者分为达雷妥尤单抗组(n = 32),该组在二线治疗前使用含达雷妥尤单抗的方案,以及传统治疗组(n = 33)。与传统治疗组相比,达雷妥尤单抗组患者年龄往往更大,但两组在生物标志物和超声心动图参数方面无显著差异。共有26例患者(40%)死亡(中位随访时间:395天)。Kaplan-Meier生存分析显示,达雷妥尤单抗组的死亡率显著低于传统治疗组(p = 0.04;对数秩检验)。Cox风险分析显示,在对AL淀粉样变性的修订梅奥分期进行调整后,使用含达雷妥尤单抗的方案与较低的死亡率相关(风险比:0.32;95%置信区间:0.12至0.85;p = 0.02)。
含达雷妥尤单抗的方案可能与改善AL心脏淀粉样变性患者的生存相关。
