Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Age >= 18 years
- Histopathological diagnosis of amyloidosis based on detection by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and polarizing light microscopy of green bi-refringent material in Congo red-stained tissue specimens (in an organ other than bone marrow) or characteristic electron microscopy appearance.
- Considerations for specific populations where other types of amyloidosis may be encountered:
- For male subjects 70 years of age or older who have cardiac involvement only, and patients of African descent (black subjects), mass spectrometry typing of AL amyloid in a tissue biopsy is recommended to rule out other types of amyloidosis such as age-related amyloidosis or hereditary amyloidosis (ATTR mutation)
- Presence of t(11;14) on bone marrow plasma cells (BMPC) by fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH), performed at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) cytogenetics laboratory
- >= 1 prior line of therapy for the treatment of systemic AL amyloidosis.

- Note: Induction with only autologous stem cell transplant is considered 1 line of therapy. Steroid monotherapy treatment will not be counted as 1 prior line of therapy per National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. Patients are not required to having progressed from the prior line of therapy
- No prior CD38-directed antibody treatment OR If the patient previously received CD38-directed antibody treatment, the patient achieved >= partial response (PR) and did not progress while on CD38-directed antibody therapy. Progression on CD38-directed antibody treatment will be defined as progressive disease while on therapy or within 60 days of last dose.
- Note: If the patient's last prior treatment included daratumumab and the patient relapsed (and does not meet the exclusion criteria as outlined in exclusion criterion #1) after cessation of treatment, a 3-month wash-out from CD38 antibody treatment is required. No washout period for DARA is deemed necessary when patients are already on DARA-based treatment and the treatment regimen needs to be stopped due to hematologic very good partial response (VGPR) or PR (suboptimal response) or non-DARA-related toxicity.

About this study
Official title: A Multicenter Phase 1/2 Study of Venetoclax/Daratumumab/Dexamethasone for Previously Treated Systemic Light-Chain Amyloidosis With Translocation (11;14)
This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of venetoclax, daratumumab, and dexamethasone for the treatment of systemic light-chain amyloidosis in patients with a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) abnormality called a translocation involving chromosomes 11 and 14, or "t(11;14)". Venetoclax works by attaching to a protein called Bcl-2, in order to kill cancer cells. Daratumumab works by binding to a target on the surface of cancer cells called Cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38). When daratumumab binds to CD38, it enables the immune system to find the cancer cell and kill it. Dexamethasone is a type of drug called a corticosteroid. A corticosteroid is a drug made of artificial steroid hormones, that are used to treat symptoms such as inflammation (swelling and irritation to a part of the body). The combination of these medications may more effectively treat patients with systemic light-chain amyloidosis and t(11;14).
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD)/ the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of venetoclax (VEN) with or without daratumumab subcutaneous (DARA SC) and dexamethasone (DEX), in previously treated light chain (AL) amyloidosis (PTAL) participants with t(11;14). (Phase I).
II. To evaluate the efficacy of the combination VEN/DARA SC and DEX as measured by Complete Hematologic Response (CHR rate) in PTAL participants with t(11;14). (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of VEN/DARA SC, and DEX in the treatment of PTAL participants with t(11;14). (Phase I) II. To evaluate the efficacy of VEN/DARA SC and DEX in the treatment of PTAL participants with t(11;14) as measured by overall hematologic response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), organ response rate (orRR), major organ deterioration PFS (MOD-PFS), time to complete response (TTCR), duration of response (DOR), and time to new treatment (TTNT). To evaluate safety of VEN/DARA SC and DEX in the treatment of PTAL participants with t(11;14). (Phase II) IV. To evaluate the death rate, therapy-related death rate, infection rate, and cardiac event rate, in the VEN/DARA SC and DEX arm and the DARA SC and DEX arm. (Phase II).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate the feasibility of performing M protein detection by MALDI TOF mass spectrometry on the EXENT® system on serum and urine participant-samples collected by each site during the first 6 months of the study.
II. To evaluate the agreement between MALDI TOF mass spectrometry results by the EXENT® system and standard serologic and urine measures of disease after the enrollment for both phase 1 and 2 has been complete.
III. To evaluate the complete response (CR) rate, ORR, PFS, MOD-PFS, OS, OrRR, TTCR, TTNT and DOR separated by participants who are minimal residual disease (MRD) negative versus positive by EXENT®.
IV. To evaluate the CR rate, overall hematologic response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), major organ deterioration PFS (MOD-PFS), overall survival (OS), organ response rate (OrRR), time to complete response (TTCR), time to next treatment (TTNT) and duration of response (DOR) and relationship to light-chain glycosylation patterns over time by EXENT®.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of venetoclax followed by a phase II study. If dose level 3 (VEN/DARA SC and DEX) is not the recommended phase 2 doses/maximum tolerated dose in phase 1, the study will not open to phase 2.
PHASE I: All participants receive venetoclax orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Depending on dose-level assignment, participants may also receive dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle with or without daratumumab SC on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-2, days 1 and 15 of cycles 3-6, then on day 1 of cycles thereafter. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
PHASE II: Participants receive venetoclax PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle, dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle, and daratumumab SC on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-2, days 1 and 15 of cycles 3-6, then on day 1 of cycles thereafter. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 30 days and then every 3 months until the last participant on the study completes 2 years of treatment.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proportion of participants with reported dose limiting toxicities (Phase 1)
A dose limiting toxicity (DLT) will be defined as an adverse event that are considered by the investigator to be at least possibly related to the study drugs and are observed within the DLT assessment window (Cycle 1, Days 1 to 28) except those that are clearly and incontrovertibly due to extraneous causes.
Measured: Up to 1 cycle (1 cycle is equal to 28 days)
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) (Phase 1)
The MTD is the last dose cohort at which no more than one instance of dose limiting toxicities (DLT) is observed among 6 participants treated. If the MTD cannot be determined due to lack of DLTs during the DLT window, the maximum dose level of venetoclax administered during the study will be declared the Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).
Measured: Up to 1 cycle (1 cycle is equal to 28 days)
Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) (Phase1)
If the MTD cannot be determined due to lack of DLTs during the DLT window, the maximum dose level of venetoclax administered during the study will be declared the Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
Measured: Up to 1 cycle (1 cycle is equal to 28 days)
Proportion of participants who achieve a complete hematologic response (CHR) (Phase 2)
CHR is defined per updated 2021 International Society of Amyloidosis (ISA) consensus criteria as an absence of amyloidogenic light chains (either free and/or as part of a complete immunoglobulin) defined by negative immunofixation electrophoresis of both serum and urine, and also either a free-light chain (FLC) ratio within the reference range or the uninvolved FLC concentration is greater than involved FLC concentration with or without an abnormal FLC ratio. Participants with positive serum immunofixation (S-IFE) and confirmed daratumumab immunofixation (IFE) interference, that meet all other clinical criteria for CHR, will be considered CHR. CHR requires confirmation by 1 repeat assessment. Proportion and 95% binomial exact confidence interval will be reported
Measured: Up to 2 years

Measured: Up to 2 years
Organ response rate (orRR) (Phase 2)
Organ disease considered to be quantifiable for response includes cardiac disease, renal disease, and hepatic disease. Liver organ response must be monitored by the ISA Consensus Criteria. Renal organ response must be monitored by Palladini criteria. Cardiac response must be monitored by the Boston University criteria. The proportion of participants enrolled in Phase 2 who experience an organ response (Heart, kidney, and/or liver).
Measured: Up to 2 years
Median Major Organ Deterioration Progression-Free Survival (MOD-PFS) (Phase 2)
MOD-PFS is defined as the time that elapses between initiation of trial therapy and the earlier of hematologic disease progression, cardiac deterioration that requires cardiac transplant, left ventricular assist device, or intra-aortic balloon pump, end-stage renal disease that requires hemodialysis or renal transplant, or death from any cause for participants enrolled in Phase 2. Median survival times will be reported in months along with 95% confidence intervals obtained using the Brookmeyer and Crowley (1982) method.
Measured: Up to 2 years
Time to complete response (TTCR) (Phase 2)

The combination of these medications may more effectively treat patients with systemic light-chain amyloidosis and t(11;14).
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD)/ the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of venetoclax (VEN) with or without daratumumab subcutaneous (DARA SC) and dexamethasone (DEX), in previously treated light chain (AL) amyloidosis (PTAL) participants with t(11;14). (Phase I).
II. To evaluate the efficacy of the combination VEN/DARA SC and DEX as measured by Complete Hematologic Response (CHR rate) in PTAL participants with t(11;14). (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of VEN/DARA SC, and DEX in the treatment of PTAL participants with t(11;14). (Phase I) II. To evaluate the efficacy of VEN/DARA SC and DEX in the treatment of PTAL participants with t(11;14) as measured by overall hematologic response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), organ response rate (orRR), major organ deterioration PFS (MOD-PFS), time to complete response (TTCR), duration of response (DOR), and time to new treatment (TTNT). To evaluate safety of VEN/DARA SC and DEX in the treatment of PTAL participants with t(11;14). (Phase II) IV. To evaluate the death rate, therapy-related death rate, infection rate, and cardiac event rate, in the VEN/DARA SC and DEX arm and the DARA SC and DEX arm. (Phase II).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate the feasibility of performing M protein detection by MALDI TOF mass spectrometry on the EXENT® system on serum and urine participant-samples collected by each site during the first 6 months of the study.
II. To evaluate the agreement between MALDI TOF mass spectrometry results by the EXENT® system and standard serologic and urine measures of disease after the enrollment for both phase 1 and 2 has been complete.
III. To evaluate the complete response (CR) rate, ORR, PFS, MOD-PFS, OS, OrRR, TTCR, TTNT and DOR separated by participants who are minimal residual disease (MRD) negative versus positive by EXENT®.
IV. To evaluate the CR rate, overall hematologic response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), major organ deterioration PFS (MOD-PFS), overall survival (OS), organ response rate (OrRR), time to complete response (TTCR), time to next treatment (TTNT) and duration of response (DOR) and relationship to light-chain glycosylation patterns over time by EXENT®.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of venetoclax followed by a phase II study. If dose level 3 (VEN/DARA SC and DEX) is not the recommended phase 2 doses/maximum tolerated dose in phase 1, the study will not open to phase 2.
PHASE I: All participants receive venetoclax orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Depending on dose-level assignment, participants may also receive dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle with or without daratumumab SC on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-2, days 1 and 15 of cycles 3-6, then on day 1 of cycles thereafter. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
PHASE II: Participants receive venetoclax PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle, dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle, and daratumumab SC on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-2, days 1 and 15 of cycles 3-6, then on day 1 of cycles thereafter. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 30 days and then every 3 months until the last participant on the study completes 2 years of treatment.

- Sex
- All
- Healthy volunteers
- Not accepted
- Age groups
- Adult, Older adult
Key inclusion criteria (30 listed)
- Age >= 18 years
- Histopathological diagnosis of amyloidosis based on detection by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and polarizing light microscopy of green bi-refringent material in Congo red-stained tissue specimens (in an organ other than bone marrow) or characteristic electron microscopy appearance.
- Considerations for specific populations where other types of amyloidosis may be encountered:
- For male subjects 70 years of age or older who have cardiac involvement only, and patients of African descent (black subjects), mass spectrometry typing of AL amyloid in a tissue biopsy is recommended to rule out other types of amyloidosis such as age-related amyloidosis or hereditary amyloidosis (ATTR mutation)

Key exclusion criteria (43 listed)
- Any prior hematologic progression to CD38 antibody therapy (regardless of presence of a response) while on treatment or within 90 days of the last dose. Hematologic progression is defined as any ONE of the following:
- Prior exposure to BCL-2 inhibitors.
- Intolerance to anti-CD38 antibody therapy, monoclonal antibodies, or hyaluronidase
- Previous or current diagnosis of multiple myeloma by International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria, including the presence of lytic bone disease, plasmacytomas, >= 60% plasma cells in the bone marrow, or hypercalcemia.
- Systemic AL amyloidosis from a lymphoma.
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Primary outcome
Proportion of participants with reported dose limiting toxicities (Phase 1)
Time frame: Up to 1 cycle (1 cycle is equal to 28 days)
A dose limiting toxicity (DLT) will be defined as an adverse event that are considered by the investigator to be at least possibly related to the study drugs and are observed within the DLT assessment window (Cycle 1, Days 1 to 28) except those that are clearly and incontrovertibly due to extraneous causes.
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) (Phase 1)
Time frame: Up to 1 cycle (1 cycle is equal to 28 days)
The MTD is the last dose cohort at which no more than one instance of dose limiting toxicities (DLT) is observed among 6 participants treated. If the MTD cannot be determined due to lack of DLTs during the DLT window, the maximum dose level of venetoclax administered during the study will be declared the Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).
Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) (Phase1)
Time frame: Up to 1 cycle (1 cycle is equal to 28 days)
If the MTD cannot be determined due to lack of DLTs during the DLT window, the maximum dose level of venetoclax administered during the study will be declared the Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
Proportion of participants who achieve a complete hematologic response (CHR) (Phase 2)
Time frame: Up to 2 years
CHR is defined per updated 2021 International Society of Amyloidosis (ISA) consensus criteria as an absence of amyloidogenic light chains (either free and/or as part of a complete immunoglobulin) defined by negative immunofixation electrophoresis of both serum and urine, and also either a free-light chain (FLC) ratio within the reference range or the uninvolved FLC concentration is greater than involved FLC concentration with or without an abnormal FLC ratio. Participants with positive serum immunofixation (S-IFE) and confirmed daratumumab immunofixation (IFE) interference, that meet all other clinical criteria for CHR, will be considered CHR. CHR requires confirmation by 1 repeat assessment. Proportion and 95% binomial exact confidence interval will be reported

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Venetoclax, Dexamethasone and Daratumumab in people with AL Amyloidosis and Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis, run by Alfred Chung, MD.
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 30 inclusion and 43 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 combined 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.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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?
Proportion of participants with reported dose limiting toxicities (Phase 1) (time frame: Up to 1 cycle (1 cycle is equal to 28 days)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Mar 2025.
