Abstract
Purpose of review: This review aims to assess the therapeutic strategies available for relapsed/refractory patients with immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis who received upfront daratumumab-based regimens.
Recent findings: The treatment landscape of AL amyloidosis has changed radically thanks to the introduction in the upfront setting of daratumumab in combination with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (DaraCyBorD) which improved patients' outcomes increasing the rate of hematologic and organ responses. However, many patients eventually relapse or are refractory to daratumumab and the best salvage therapy is not well defined yet. In this contest, we reviewed the available therapeutic options after daratumumab failure, and we look towards the current advances in Bcl-2 inhibitors, novel immunotherapeutic agents as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T) therapy and bispecific antibodies (bsAbs). Relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis represent an unmet clinical need and novel targeted drugs require urgent prospective assessment.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
