Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - CAEL-101
Other interventions - Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and Dexamethasone (CyBorD) regimen

Experimental: CAEL-101 combined with SoC plasma cell dyscrasia - CAEL-101 is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion over approximately 2 hours. It is planned that all patients will continue their double-blind treatment until the last patient is randomized in the study plus 18 months. The study is divided into 2 parts, the Primary Evaluation Treatment period part and the Open-Label Extension period of Study.

Placebo comparator: Placebo combined with SoC plasma cell dyscrasia - Patients randomized to receive placebo will receive 0.9% normal saline in an equivalent volume to a CAEL-101 infusion (approximately 250 cc). It is planned that all patients will continue their double-blind treatment until the last patient is randomized in the study plus 18 months.


Treatment: Drugs: CAEL-101
The investigational product, CAEL-101, is formulated as a sterile liquid solution of protein plus excipients for dilution in a single-use, stoppered, glass vial. Each 10 mL vial contains 300 mg of CAEL-101 at a concentration of 30 mg/mL. CAEL-101 will be diluted with commercially available 0.9% Normal Saline.

Other interventions: Placebo
Commercially available 0.9% Normal Saline will be used as the placebo.

Treatment: Drugs: cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and Dexamethasone (CyBorD) regimen
According to institutional standard of care.

Summary
Brief summary
AL (or light chain) amyloidosis begins in the bone marrow where abnormal proteins misfold and create free light chains that cannot be broken down. These free light chains bind together to form amyloid fibrils that build up in the extracellular space of organs, affecting the kidneys, heart, liver, spleen, nervous system and digestive tract.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether CAEL-101, a monoclonal antibody that removes AL amyloid deposits from tissues and organs, improves overall survival, reduces cardiovascular related hospitalizations and it is safe and well tolerated in patients with stage IIIb AL amyloidosis.
