Abstract

AbstractPatients with cardiac light chain amyloidosis and Mayo stage 3b disease define a high‐risk population with very poor prognosis. Here, we report treatment outcomes of 80 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed AL and Mayo 3b who received novel regimens. Early mortality (<1 month) rate was 12.5%. On intention‐to‐treat, overall hematologic response rate was 40%, with complete response (CR)/very good partial response (VGPR) in 25% and partial response (PR) in 15%. At 1‐ and 3‐ month landmark analysis CR or VGPR/PR rates were 25%/23.5% and 34%/25.5%, respectively. Among patients that were treated with daratumumab‐based therapies, 52.6% and 85.7% achieved at least VGPR within one 1 and 3 months, respectively. Three‐month cardiac response rate was 11.3% and 6‐month was 18.8%. At least hemVGPR at 3 months was associated with cardiac response at 6 months (p = 0.034). Median overall survival (OS) was 6.3 months. At 1‐month landmark at least hemPR was associated with better median OS (24.1 vs. 4.9 months, p = 0.017) and at 3‐month landmark, at least hemVGPR was associated with a median OS of 40.7 versus 17 months for hemPR and 7.4 months for those without hematologic response (p = 0.028). Cardiac response at 3 months was associated with longer median OS (59.7 vs. 10.9 months, p = 0.044). Factors associated with poorer survival were κ‐light chain amyloidosis (median OS 2.9 vs. 7.4 months, p = 0.028), peripheral nerve involvement (3.4 vs. 10.45 months, p = 0.024), systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg (2 vs. 8 months, p = 0.002), baseline LVEF <55% (median OS 3.4 vs. 32 months, p = 0.29) and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class (2.7 months for NYHA 3B‐4 vs. 8 months for NYHA 2–3A, p = 0.02). Twenty‐one patients (26.3%) received salvage therapy and ORR was 57.1%. Median OS for patients who received second line therapy was 24 months. In conclusion, patients with Mayo 3b disease benefit from early hematologic response but cardiac response rates remain low.
