About this study

Official title: Phase Ia/Ib Study of Chimeric Fibril-Reactive Monoclonal Antibody 11-1F4 in Patients With AL Amyloidosis

The purpose of this study is to examine the tolerance, safety, pharmacokinetics, and possible clinical benefit of the good manufacturing practice (GMP)-grade amyloid fibril-reactive chimeric (Ch) IgG1 mAb 11-1F4 in patients with amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis.

The phase 1a part will involve at least 3 patients and a maximum of 18 patients. The first patient will receive the starting dose of the antibody and, if tolerated, the following patients will each receive (if tolerated) progressively higher doses of the antibody. Patients in part 1a of the trial will receive only one infusion of the drug. Patients treated in the phase 1a part receive lower dosage which might not be effective.

Once the maximal tolerated dosage is established during the phase 1a part, the investigators will accrue patients to the phase 1b part of the trial. Patients will receive 4 infusions, once each week for 4 weeks. Patients who were treated in the part 1a of the trial and showed no toxicity can be also treated in the part 1b of the trial. The first patient will receive the starting dose of the antibody and, if tolerated, the following patients will each receive (if tolerated) progressively higher doses of the antibody. When the investigators reach the maximum tolerated dose without toxicity, the investigators will enroll another 4 patients to receive the same dose. If there are no toxicities, another 4 patients will be treated at the next dose level, and so forth. Patients treated in Phase 1b may receive lower dosages which might not be effective. The goal of Phase 1b is to establish the tolerance and possible beneficial effects of 11-1F4. If successful, treatment with this antibody would represent a novel approach in the care of individuals with AL amyloidosis.

Read the detailed description

Presently, treatment of patients with amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis is limited to reducing production of the amyloid-forming light-chain protein by giving conventional or high-dose (with stem cell transplant) anti-plasma cell chemotherapy, as used for patients with multiple myeloma. Although this approach has extended survival, the prognosis remains poor due to the persistence or progression of the amyloid deposits in vital organs, such as the heart or kidney. A different treatment strategy would be to attempt to reduce and/or eliminate these deposits. This study evaluates this by administering an anti-amyloid monoclonal antibody, 11-1F4. This compound has been shown to reduce/destroy this material in an experimental animal model of amyloidosis.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Phase IaExperimentalAdministration of Chimeric Fibril-Reactive Monoclonal Anti-body 11-1F4: A 1-patient cohort will be infused with 0.5 mg/m2 of Ch 11-1F4 and, if tolerated, the doses in the next patients will be increased to 5, 10, 50, 100, 250, and finally, 500 mg/m2. All individuals will be evaluated prior to treatment, after infusion weekly for four weeks, as well as at 8 weeks.
Receives: Drug: Chimeric Fibril-Reactive Monoclonal Anti-body 11-1F4
Phase IbExperimentalAdministration of Chimeric Fibril-Reactive Monoclonal Anti-body 11-1F4: Subjects will receive four weekly infusions of the monoclonal anti-body at Dose Level 1 (0.5 mg/m2). If tolerated, the doses in the next patients will be increased to 5, 10, 50, 100, 250, and finally, 500 mg/m2. When the highest tolerated dose is reached without toxicity in 2 patients, an additional 4 patients will be enrolled and infused at that dose. Escalation or de-escalation will continue until we have determined the highest dose level at which less than 2 patients experience toxicity. All individuals will be evaluated prior to each course of treatment, as well as at weeks 5, 8, and 12.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Ch mAb 11-1F4

    The MTD of a single application of Ch mAb 11-1F4 is defined as the highest safely-tolerated dose (mg/m2) where 0 patients experiences Dose Limiting Toxicity.

    Measured: 2 years approximately

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of subjects with positive amyloid-related organ response

    Amyloid-related organ response will be evaluated on the basis of the accepted criteria per consensus guidelines for the conduct and reporting of clinical trials in systemic light-chain amyloidosis, in patients who completed phase 1b.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Estimated mean area under the curve (AUC) for Ch mAb 11-1F4

    This is designed to determine the pharmacokinetics of Ch mAb 11-1F4 when given as a single intravenous (i.v.) infusion (phase 1a) or as a series of four weekly intravenous infusions (phase 1b).

    Measured: Phase 1a: 1, 2, 24 hours post start of infusion; then post-infusion week 1, 2, 3, 4, 8. Phase 1b: pretreatment, 1, 2, 24 hours post start of infusion; then post-infusion week 5, 8, 12.

  3. Number of participants with adverse events

    This to obtain additional safety data of Ch mAb 11-1F4 when given as a single intravenous infusion (phase 1a) or as a series of four weekly intravenous infusions (phase 1b) by obtaining adverse event information for all subjects during active follow-up visits.

    Measured: 2 years approximately

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Chimeric Fibril-Reactive Monoclonal Anti-body 11-1F4 in people with AL Amyloidosis, run by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Ch mAb 11-1F4 (time frame: 2 years approximately). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02245867, which also lists 18 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Feb 2025.
