![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Background: AL amyloidosis involves the deposition of abnormally folded immunoglobulin light chains into various organs. The source of light chains is most commonly a plasma cell neoplasm, thus treatment involves targeting plasma cell clone. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Currently, the main upfront treatment options include high dose melphalan autologous transplant or combination chemotherapy, most commonly bortezomib-based regimens. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 The activity of bortezomib in AL amyloidosis was reported by Kastritis et al (J Clin Oncol 2010; 28(6):1031-1037) in their multicenter retrospect. study, demonstrating a heme response rate of 81% in previously untreated and 68% in pretreated patients. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet anyone can participate - don't be shy with Qs or comments. #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Subsequently, several early retrospective studies looked at the combination of cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone- otherwise known as CyBorD, noting very high response rates >80% and CR rates of 42-71% in the UK and Mayo group respectively #amyloidosisJC |

![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Prior to this publication, the largest study of upfront CyBorD was by Palladini et al. (Blood 2015; 126(5):612-615), a multicenter European study of 230 patients treated with CyBorD upfront. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Andrew Staron @a_staron Hi, Andrew Staron, hem/onc fellow from @BUHemeOncFellow joining the discussion #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Holly Lee @hollyleeYJ Hello, Holly Lee - heme fellow from Calgary, Canada, no COI #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Unlike the prior smaller studies, the observed heme response rate was only 60% with 23% CR rate. 5-year OS was 55% and median time to second-line therapy or death was 13 months. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Patients with high cardiac stage (Stage IIIB) had significantly poorer outcomes, with median OS of 7 months and heme CR rate of only 14% #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 This brings us to today’s paper. This was a prospective observational study of newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis treated with bortezomib-based regimen from 2/2010 -8/2017 conducted by UK National Amyloidosis Centre. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Pt were treated locally, but seen at 3-months after start of Tx and then q6 months at the study center, where data was collected and analyzed. Heme response was assessed at 6 months and organ responses at 12 and 24 months. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Vijendra Singh @vijsinghmd @AlfredChung11 poor survival make sense, but why low heme CR rate ? #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 International amyloidosis consensus criteria was used to define organ involvement/response as well as heme-responses. The low-dFLC response criteria was used for presenting dFLC 20-50 mg/L for response assessment. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Vaishali Sanchorawala @vsanchorawala Vaishali Sanchorawala from @BU_Amyloidosis #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 A ‘stringent dFLC response’ was defined as a dFLC <10 mg/L at 6 month time point. One of the goals of the paper was to explore the outcomes associated with achieving this level of response. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet Q for those participating in #amyloidosisJC tonight: is CyBorD your initial rx of choice in stage 3b pts w #amyloidosis, or do you prefer different regimen? |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 TNT was defined as time from first-line therapy to beginning of second-line therapy. Patients that died without having progressed to 2nd line therapy were excluded from analysis of TNT – this is important to note and is different than in the Palladini paper #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Decisions for second-line treatment was decided by a multidisciplinary team. It seems the authors use TNT as a surrogate for PFS, since many patients are treated with second-line therapy prior to meeting formal criteria for progression. #amyloidosisJC |
@ @Amyloid_Planet outside of clinical trial and in fit patients, CyBorD is my regimen of choice #amyloidosisjc | |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet in many cases, failure to even get in 1-2 cycles of therapy to permit a response assessment. median OS 4-7 mos in various pubs. #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Suresh Balasubramanian @malignantheme @Amyloid_Planet we prefer CyBorD @Amyloid_Planet #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Andrew Staron @a_staron @AlfredChung11 Was this dFLC-based more stringent response validated previously? #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Edward Libby @EdwardLibby13 #amyloidosisjc My choice would be CyBorD with a 50% reduction in the dexamethasone dose. I often start the bortezomib at a reduced dose as well e.g. 1 mg/m2 |
@stuchman1 @Amyloid_Planet Classic "responders do better than non-responders." Death = non-response for analytical purposes, so early death -> low CR rate. #amyloidosisjc | |
![]() | Raj Chakraborty @rajshekharucms @AlfredChung11 Important point; also, with high early mortality [>30%!], it is important to consider response rates in the intention-to-treat population IMO #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet interest in this endpoint in part from papers looking at outcomes in #amyloidosis pts with “unmeasurable” baseline dFLC. Link to a paper from Pavia grp [REDACTED USER] https://t.co/MuitDYyn0T #amyloidosisJC |

@stuchman1 @DrSinghvij @Amyloid_Planet This phenomenon is actually a fascinating topic and carries the name "immortality bias." It's a huge issue in oncology trials in particular. #amyloidosisjc | |
![]() | Suresh Balasubramanian @malignantheme @EdwardLibby13 We start with 1.3 mg/m2. Can you please enlighten us with your thoughts on 1mg/m2 on CyBorD, though i have seen that dose in VTD-PACE phase 2 studies. #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Susan Bal @SusanBal9 What are the practice patterns for Stage 3A in hem CR after Cycle#3? #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet @mpianko This paper from [REDACTED USER] Amyloid demonstrates that even within a single practice grp, indications for initiating next Rx can vary: https://t.co/NIAVEc0lwz #amyloidosisJC |

![]() | Sam Rubinstein @rubinstein_md @Amyloid_Planet We use CyBorD for the majority of patients #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Results: 915 patients were included. 71% had cardiac involvement, 68% renal involvement. 51% of patients had Mayo 2004 Stage III disease (14% Stage IIIB). 95% patients received CyBorD. See table #amyloidosisJC https://t.co/nNaCwmL6se |

![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Results: 819 pts assessable for heme response (ITT): 25% CR, 20%VGPR, 16% PR, 4% low-dFLC PR, 35% NR (including 207 deaths=25%). For Mayo Stage III: 23% CR, 19% VGPR, 11% PR, 1% low-DFLC PR, and 46% NR (39% deaths). #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | omar @omaralbanyan What is you though about excluding patient presented with dFLC <20 from response assessments? #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Andrew Staron @a_staron @AlfredChung11 Wow, there was a patient with a NT-proBNP of 93,776 #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Matthew Pianko, MD @mpianko Can I ask about practice patterns for use of doxycycline in amyloidosis? Reserved for stage III or higher, or do you use it in all groups? #amyloidosisjc |

![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Survival – median follow-up 23 months (32 months for living patients). Median OS was 72 months. 289 patients (31.6%) died without 2nd line therapy. Of remaining 626, median TNT was not reached and 55% had not progressed to further treatment at 7 years. See curves #amyloidosisJC https://t.co/NOnrnubw2X |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet you know what I'm enjoying most about tonight's #amyloidosisjc? half the participants are prior Untangling #Amyloidosis travel grant awardees and/or judges, and/or speakers. |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet necessary, as no prior data to include such patients. #amyloidosisjc |
@stuchman1 @omaralbanyan Excludes a good-risk patient population, so makes the study population look worse. But understandable to some degree, since you can't do standard response assessment. #amyloidosisjc | |

![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Survival- Higher Mayo Stage was associated with worse survival with median OS Stage IIIB being 4 months. Deeper responses associated with longer median TNT. See curves #amyloidosisJC https://t.co/xGKY8jPrMZ |
![]() | Matthew Pianko, MD @mpianko Or to rephrase, what proportion of patients in the study being discussed tonight received doxycycline? @alfredchung11 |
![]() | Raj Chakraborty @rajshekharucms @AlfredChung11 Although follow-up is limited compared to some of the #bmt studies, I think the median OS is impressive in this transplant-ineligible population..thoughts??@Amyloid_Planet @vsanchorawala #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet at our center, in absence of cardiac response, we'd continue induction Rx for total of ~6 cycles and stop. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Of patients considered transplant-eligible, median OS and TNT not reached. 5-year OS was 78% and 71% had not progressed to next-line therapy. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Stringent dFLC response: defined as <10 mg/L at 6 months. 30% of evaluable patients were able to reach this response criteria (table). Presenting dFLC did not impact achievement of response (33% of stringent dFLC responders had initial dFLC >200 mg/L). #amyloidosisJC https://t.co/O8kfh1z17h |
![]() | Edward Libby @EdwardLibby13 #amyloidosisjc I follow the same treatment plan for CR patients that Dr.Zonder describes. |
@stuchman1 @Amyloid_Planet What does that mean? In presence of cardiac response do you keep going? Stop sooner? We typically go 6 cycles or until max response, whichever is longer. #amyloidosisjc | |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet @mpianko honestly, variable. often wait to see how an #amyloidosis pt tolerates CyBorD alone prior to considering adding doxycycline. #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 There was significant improvement in OS and TNT for stringent dFLC response compared to lesser responses. This included significant difference in OS between CR patients with stringent response vs. w/o as well as VGPR with stringent vs w/o. See figures. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet @mpianko given tonight's paper is from London grp, the survival numbers for advanced cardiac pts in this paper probably reflect concurrent doxycycline use #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Raj Chakraborty @rajshekharucms @AlfredChung11 Interestingly, 5-year post-transplant OS in the CIBMTR paper by @adsouza_md @JCO_ASCO was similar at 77% in the 2007-2012 cohort #amyloidosisjc https://t.co/7jIGuRNGq6 |
![]() | Andrew Staron @a_staron @rajshekharucms @AlfredChung11 @Amyloid_Planet @vsanchorawala Survival curve steepest in first 6-months, and there after more gradual. Not surprising for AL amyloidosis. #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Vaishali Sanchorawala @vsanchorawala @rajshekharucms @AlfredChung11 @Amyloid_Planet Agree with you! #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Gareth Morgan @wittyremarkhere @a_staron @AlfredChung11 High because of renal failure, presumably? #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Organ responses at 12 months according to 6 month heme response. Those who achieved CR, especially CR with stringent dFLC, had best organ response rates at 12 month (59% cardiac response, 22% renal response, 45% liver response). See Table #amyloidosisJC https://t.co/cuV5f0etqB |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet agree. seems impressive - except for stage 3b pts. #amyloidosisJC |
@stuchman1 @AlfredChung11 Again I call our attention to immortality bias. Pts who achieved stringent dFLC resp had to live long enough to achieve it, so it's already a better risk pt group. (Trainees - landmark analysis is the way to look at impact of response on survival). #amyloidosisjc | |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Toxicity: see table. Sensory neuropathy 21% Gr 1-2, 1.3% Gr 3-4. Lethargy 55.7% Gr 1-2, 6.5% Gr3-4. #amyloidosisJC https://t.co/HpHvYBZb2x |
@ Agree. Making the case for speedy and accurate diagnosis.. | |
![]() | Edward Libby @EdwardLibby13 #amyloidosisjc The extent of organ response may take 3 -36 months to see. So I treat for 6 months and hope patients will have an organ response. Of course if the light chains are not falling significantly by 2-3 months I change treatment. |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet I mean in absence of cardiac response, ASCT remains a non-starter, and we carry on w CyBorD as you describe without subsequent maintenance. #amyloidosisjc |

@stuchman1 @Amyloid_Planet Ah - agree. Same here. #amyloidosisjc | |
![]() | Andrew Staron @a_staron @wittyremarkhere @AlfredChung11 Presumably. NT-proBNP more affected by reduction in GFR than plasma BNP. #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Edward Libby @EdwardLibby13 #amyloidosisjc no maintenance |
@stuchman1 @NB191186 @EdwardLibby13 @Amyloid_Planet @mpianko No maintenance. No data for it in AL alone. If they have myeloma too, we do it. #amyloidosisjc | |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet not generally w bortezomib. The options we use which tend to be used continuously are Dara (especially) and IMiDs - do others use BTZ maintenance? any diffenrece in how u use BTZ vs IXA in AL #amyloidosis? #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Gareth Morgan @wittyremarkhere @AlfredChung11 Is there a correlation between toxicity/tolerability/adverse events and disease stage? Either in this study or more generally? #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet wish AS A RULE studies would break apart Gr 1 and Gr 2 neuropathy rather than lumping. very different implications for a patient #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Andrew Staron @a_staron @AlfredChung11 I'm surprised by the renal response rate among those with hemCR. Lower than what I expected. #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Sam Rubinstein @rubinstein_md @Amyloid_Planet Agree. Especially in Nashville. G2 neuropathy can be devastating for a guitarist. #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Sam Rubinstein @rubinstein_md @a_staron @AlfredChung11 At least anecdotally, we have seen several renal responders 18 mo out or longer. May be survivorship bias, but I wonder if 12 mo is not enough follow up for this. What do others think? #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Key Points: I believe this paper highlights several important points. (1) Some patients can have quite durable responses to CyBorD (55% of surviving patients not progressing at 7 years). #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 (2) Deeper dFLC responses ("stringent dFLC") appear to be associated with better outcomes, even with patients classified as VGPR or CR previously #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 (3) Patients with Mayo 2004 Stage IIIB disease continue to have poor outcomes despite CyBorD with 40% of Stage III patients dying within 6 months of dx #amyloidosisJC. |
![]() | Vaishali Sanchorawala @vsanchorawala @a_staron @AlfredChung11 Renal responses deeper with SCT than non-SCT regimens. #amyloidosisjc |

![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet Compared to 2013 report from same grp where almost NO pts got BTZ combos, med OS for stage IIIa pts is better now (36 mos vs 17 mos) https://t.co/PkcgwYpFwJ IIIb pts do exactly as badly as previously. #amyloidosisJC |
@stuchman1 @rubinstein_md especially since you're an outcomes researcher, I appreciate your attention to very real concrete quality of life issues such as ability to shred. (I play guitar myself, albeit poorly ;) #amyloidosisjc | |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Discussion Point(1): What are your thoughts on the TNT endpoint? I understand that PFS is not able to be evaluated if pts treated before ISA progression criteria, but excluding patients that die likely inflates median TNT. #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet @AlfredChung11 not "likely"....it absolutely without question does. #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Raj Chakraborty @rajshekharucms @AlfredChung11 Unfortunate that early mortality remains high in patients with advanced cardiac disease. Reminds me of this editorial by @MorieGertz https://t.co/usXXkRtJe2 #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Discussion Point (2): The authors posit that these results with CyBorD rival those seen with upfront ASCT (PFS 2-4 years). What are your thoughts on this? With emerging evidence of efficacy of daratumumab in subsq line setting – does this challenge role of ASCT? #amyloidosisJC |
@stuchman1 @rajshekharucms @AlfredChung11 @MorieGertz Unfortunately this is classic AL. Patients either die early due to cardiac involvement, or they survive long enough to achieve heme response and live for years. Key is reducing early cardiac death. Cue Caelum...! #amyloidosisjc | |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet still need the elusive RCT of best 2019 (2020) non-ASCT rx vs ASCT in AL #amyloidosis (maybe more than ever) #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Discussion Point (3): What were the second-line treatments given? Did any patients get autoSCT subsequently? This would be helpful to note #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Holly Lee @hollyleeYJ @vsanchorawala @a_staron @AlfredChung11 Does SCT improve rates of achieving stringent dFLC (or MRD neg) compared to non-SCT regimens? Has this been studied? #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Alfred Chung @AlfredChung11 Discussion Point (4): Outcomes were improved with dFLC < 10 mg/L- “stringent dFLC response”. Should response assessments be modified to account for this? Should we target a stringent dFLC response (eg. Switch or add therapies if patients do not achieve this)? #amyloidosisJC |

![]() | Vaishali Sanchorawala @vsanchorawala @AlfredChung11 Controversial results #amyloidosisjc |
![]() | Gareth Morgan @wittyremarkhere @AlfredChung11 One wrinkle: the availability of second-line treatments (especially len in the UK) varied over the study time period. Might that have influenced TNT more than it would affect PFS? #amyloidosisJC |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet we're at the end of our hour - last thought? great job tonight @AlfredChung11 - one of the best #amyloidosisjc discussions yet |
![]() | Dr. Jeffrey Zonder @Amyloid_Planet @wittyremarkhere @AlfredChung11 an analysis according to either second-line therapy or year of diagnosis would answer this #amyloidosisjc |
