    Abstract Over the past two decades, significant progress has been made in the diagnosis, risk assessment and treatment of patients with multiple myeloma, translating into remarkable improvements in survival outcomes. Yet, cure remains elusive, and almost all patients eventually experience relapse, particularly those with high-risk and refractory disease. Immune-based approaches have emerged as highly effective therapeutic options that have heralded a new era in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) is one such therapy that employs the use of genetically modified autologous T-cells to redirect immune activation in a tumor-directed fashion. It has yielded impressive responses even in patients with poor-risk disease and is the first chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy to be approved for treatment in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. In this review, we examine the design and pharmacokinetics of ide-cel, audit evidence that led to its incorporation into the current treatment paradigm and provide insight into its clinical utilization with a focus on real-life intricacies.

    Abstract Opinion statement: Light-chain amyloidosis is a rare disorder where a small clone of plasma cells is producing excess toxic light chains that deposit in various organs and cause dysfunction. Cardiac involvement is a major determinant of survival and rapid reduction of light chain is critical for recovery of organ function and overall survival. Immunotherapy targeting the clonal plasma cells and amyloid fibrils has emerged as a promising candidate. Daratumumab, both alone and in combinations with other anti-myeloma agents, is able to achieve deep hematologic responses and has greatly improved outcomes. Isatuximab, elotuzumab, and CAEL101 have also shown promising results and further studies are ongoing in the frontline as well as the relapsed/refractory setting. The frailty of AL patients and the relapsing/remitting nature of the disease present unique challenges, and the low toxicity of monoclonal antibodies makes them well-suited for these patients. Other immunotherapy agents including chimeric antigen receptor T cells, bispecific antibodies, and antibody-drug conjugates have altered the landscape in treatment of multiple myeloma, and are in the early phase of evaluation in patients with AL amyloidosis with results eagerly awaited.

    Abstract Early diagnosis of AL amyloidosis and appreciation of the nutritional and coagulation abnormalities associated with liver and gastrointestinal involvement are critically important in the treatment and management. In cases of severe malabsorption total parenteral nutrition can be extremely helpful as a bridge to organ improvement. Rarely the use of antifibrinolytic agents such as oral aminocaproic acid with transfusion support may control severe bleeding in patients with coagulation abnormalities. It is important to keep in mind that organ improvement should follow in lag phase after the reduction in the pathologic free light chain with treatment. Closely following light chain levels may permit brief holidays from treatment and enable periods of recovery before resuming therapy in patients with prompt early and deep hematologic responses.

    Abstract AL amyloidosis is an incurable plasma cell dyscrasia with limited therapeutic options. The pathogenetic mechanism in AL amyloidosis is the deposition of insoluble fibrillary aggregates of misfolded immunoglobulin (Ig) free light chains (FLC) and chaperone proteins in target organs. Therefore, AL amyloidosis is the prototypic, protein-toxicity hematologic disorder. Based on laboratory evidence of increased, constitutive proteotoxic stress, PCs are intrinsically vulnerable to agents that target proteins whose function is to guarantee that nascent polypeptides either reach a functional conformation or are disposed of (proteostasis network). The clinical efficacy of proteasome inhibitors (PIs), such as bortezomib, in the treatment of plasma cell (PC) disorders has provided proof of concept that disrupting protein homeostasis is an effective and generally safe therapeutic approach. Therefore, the intrinsic biology of PC offers us the opportunity to rationally develop therapies that target this distinct proteostasis vulnerability of PC dyscrasias. In this manuscript, we will review the laboratory rationale for the effectiveness of FDA-approved and investigational agents targeting protein homeostasis in AL amyloidosis and related PC disorders.

    Abstract Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is an incurable plasma cell disorder characterized by deposition of fibrils of misfolded immunoglobulin free light chains (FLC) in target organs, leading to failure. Cardiac involvement is common in AL amyloidosis and represents the single most adverse prognostic feature. A high index of clinical suspicion with rapid tissue diagnosis and commencement of combinatorial, highly effective cytoreductive therapy is crucial to arrest the process of amyloid deposition and preserve organ function. The clinical use of molecularly targeted drugs, such as proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents, monoclonal antibodies such as daratumumab, and risk-adjusted autologous stem cell transplant in eligible patients, has radically changed the natural history of AL amyloidosis. Here, we review the state-of-the-art treatment landscape in AL amyloidosis with an eye toward future therapeutic venues to impact the outcome of this devastating illness.
