    Abstract AL amyloidosis is a systemic amyloidosis and is associated with an underlying plasma cell dyscrasia. High-dose intravenous melphalan and autologous stem cell transplantation was developed for the treatment of AL amyloidosis in the early 1990s and was prompted by its success in myeloma. This application has evolved significantly over the past three decades. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of eligibility criteria, stem cell collection, and mobilization strategies and regimens, risk-adapted melphalan dosing, role for induction and consolidation therapies as well as long-term outcome with respect to survival, hematologic response and relapse as well as organ responses following stem cell transplantation. Continued efforts to refine patient selection and management, and incorporate novel anti-plasma cell agents in combination or sequentially to further improve outcomes in AL amyloidosis are also discussed.

    Abstract Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by abnormal protein aggregate deposition that often leads to kidney involvement and end-stage kidney disease. With advancements in diagnostic techniques and treatment options, the prevalence of patients with amyloidosis requiring chronic dialysis has increased. Kidney transplantation is a promising avenue for extending survival and enhancing quality of life in these patients. However, the complex and heterogeneous nature of amyloidosis presents challenges in determining optimal referral timing for transplantation and managing post-transplantation course. This review focuses on recent developments and outcomes of kidney transplantation for amyloidosis-related end-stage kidney disease. This review also aims to guide clinical decision-making and improve management of patients with amyloidosis-associated kidney disease, offering insights into optimizing patient selection and post-transplant care for favorable outcomes.

    Abstract Light-chain amyloidosis has come far, with the first treatment getting regulatory approval in 2021. Daratumumab-based regimens achieve deep hematologic and organ responses, offering a new therapeutic backbone. Early identification, correct fibril typing, challenges of the very advanced patient, and lack of therapies to remove amyloid deposits remain under study, but are, as yet, elusive. We review the progress of treatment in AL amyloidosis, the impact of daratumumab, and the next steps after treatment.

    Abstract The management of immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is complex. Emerging data have shown promising results for several novel agents. We review the management of AL amyloidosis, including factors that determine transplant eligibility, treatment options for transplant-ineligible patients, and treatment options for relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis. For carefully selected patients, high-dose melphalan and stem cell transplantation is recommended. Transplant eligibility criteria generally include biopsy-proven amyloidosis, evidence of a plasma cell dyscrasia, involvement of at least one major organ, and adequate performance status. For transplant-ineligible patients, bortezomib-based regimens are recommended, including: 1) bortezomib, oral melphalan, and dexamethasone (BMDex); 2) bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (CyBorD or VCd); and 3) subcutaneous daratumumab (DARA SC) and VCd. The latter option is based on a landmark trial that led to the first US Food and Drug Administration-approved therapy for AL amyloidosis. For relapsed/refractory disease, novel therapeutics including proteosome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, and monoclonal antibodies have shown promising results. In this review, we summarize data for various therapeutics in different clinical scenarios of AL amyloidosis.

    Abstract The survivorship needs of patients with light-chain (AL) amyloidosis are complex, as is the diagnosis and treatment itself. Early diagnosis is critical in improving patient outcomes; however, given the nonspecific nature of the symptoms, most patients with AL amyloidosis require evaluation by multiple specialists, resulting in significant delays in diagnosis of up to 3 years. An early and accurate diagnosis can help reduce the psychological toll of the patient’s journey to diagnosis. Given the high symptom burden and complex process of diagnosis, it is not surprising that patients with AL amyloidosis report worse health-related quality of life than the general population. Organ dysfunction associated with AL amyloidosis also may make the treatment directed towards plasma cell clone difficult to tolerate, leading to morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, supportive care requires an integrated, multidimensional and patient-centered approach to improve survival and feelings of well-being, as organ responses lag behind hematologic responses. The impact of AL amyloidosis is often devastating for the patient and may last beyond the effects of treatment. Future research is needed to study and assess the needs of survivors of AL amyloidosis utilizing valid, reliable and standardized measures.
