Bortezomib is active in AL Blood. 2009 Jun 4. [Epub ahead of print]
Bortezomib +/-Dex Untreated patients had a 47% CR rate. Twice weekly bortezomib (P = .041) higher response rates. Cardiac response 29% Hematologic responses were associated with a cardiac response and NT-proBNP reduction. The 1-year survival is 76%. NT-proBNP was independently associated with survival (P = .001) J Clin Oncol. 2010 Feb 20;28(6):1031-7.

MD vs MDB in Newly Diagnosed Immunoglobulin Light Chain Amyloidosis (AL) Patients Who Are Not Candidates for ASCT MD M=0.22 mg/kg/d, days 1-4 12 courses at 6-week intervals 95 Untreated AL patients; ineligible for ASCT (N = 190*) Primary endpoint: PFS at 2 years 60%80% Stratify as cardiac stage I or II MDB Arm MD + Bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 days 1,4,8,11 95 *Eighty-six required for each arm for a=0.05 (two-sided) and b=0.80. Additional 18 patients allowed for drops-outs and ineligibles
Conclusions For patients who can be transplanted safely SCT remains a preferred option For non transplant candidates Mel Dex remains the default standard Bortezomib has clear activity but its integration into practice is not fully defined Imid therapy including CTD & MDR is being explored
