ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in the treatment of systemic light chain amyloidosis.Methods:The clinical data of 24 patients with systemic light chain amyloidosis who received daratumumab-based regimens in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2020 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The treatment process of patients was summarized and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated. Kaplan-Meier method was used to make survival analysis and the adverse reactions were analyzed.Results:All 24 patients included 2 cases (8.33%) of Mayo 2004 stageⅠ, 2 cases (8.33%) of Mayo 2004 stage Ⅱ and 20 cases (83.33%) of Mayo 2004 stage Ⅲ. All patients were treated with daratumumab-based regimen, and 17 patients had evaluable efficacy. In the chemotherapy regimens, 15 patients received DVd (daratumumab + bortezomib + dexamethasone) regimen, 7 patients received DVCd (daratumumab + bortezomib + cyclophosphamide + dexamethasone) regimen, 1 patient received DRd (daratumumab + lenalidomide + dexamethasone) regimen, and 1 patient received DTd (daratumumab +thalidomide + dexamethasone) regimen. After 1 course of daratumumab-based regimens in 17 cases with evaluable efficacy, the strict complete remission (sCR) rate was 41.18% (7/17), the overall response rate (ORR) was 88.24% (15/17). Among 17 patients who received daratumumab-based chemotherapy regimen as the first-line treatment, sCR rate of 11 cases with evaluable efficacy was 36.36% (4/11) after 1 course of treatment ORR was 90.90% (10/11). Among 5 relapsed/refractory patients, sCR rate of 4 cases with evaluable efficacy was 50.00% (2/4) after 1 course of treatment; ORR was 75.00% (3/4). Among 24 patients, renal involvement was found in 17 patients at the initial diagnosis. After 1 course of daratumumab-based chemotherapy regimen, ORR of 7 cases with evaluable efficacy was 85.71% (6/7), among which 42.86% (3/7) patients with renal involvement had an assessed renal response of very good partial remission (VGPR) or above. At the initial diagnosis, 19 cases had cardiac involvement; ORR of 14 cases with evaluable efficacy was 85.71% (12/14), among which 42.86% (6/14) patients had cardiac response to VGPR or above. After daratumumab-based chemotherapy regimen, the main adverse reactions were infusion-related adverse reactions, myelosuppression and infection, all of which were tolerated by the patients. The median follow-up time of 24 patients was 7.0 months (0.5- 16.5 months), the median progression-free survival time was 7.0 months (0.5-16.5 months) and the median overall survival time was 7.0 months (0.5-35.0 months).Conclusions:Daratumumab-based chemotherapy regimen has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of systemic light chain amyloidosis.
