Abstract
In this issue of Blood, Edwards et al report the results of a phase 1a/1b trial of passive antiamyloid immunotherapy with the monoclonal antibody CAEL-101 in patients with light chain (LC) amyloidosis with persistent organ dysfunction despite response to previous chemotherapy. Two-thirds of evaluable patients attained cardiac response and 20% reached renal response at a median time of only 3 weeks. Treatment was well tolerated. These findings open new therapeutic opportunities and create new challenges.(1)File in questo prodotto:
