The utility of repeat kidney biopsy in systemic immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis. [PDF]

open access: greenAmyloid, 2020
Background: The diagnostic utility of repeat kidney biopsy in AL amyloidosis patients in complete (CR) or very good partial hematologic response (VGPR) but with renal organ relapse is not clear.

Cryo-EM structure of cardiac amyloid fibrils from an immunoglobulin light chain AL amyloidosis patient

open access: greenNature Communications, 2019
Immunoglobulin Light Chain Amyloidosis (AL) is the most common systemic amyloidosis occurring in Western countries. Here the authors present the 4.0 Å cryo-EM structure of light chain AL55 fibrils that were isolated from the heart of an AL systemic ...

Suggestive Diagnostic Process in a Case of Multiple Myeloma with Gastrointestinal Immunoglobulin Light-Chain Amyloidosis Accompanied by Protein-Losing Enteropathy [PDF]

open access: goldCase Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine, 2021
Multiple myeloma is a type of plasma cell neoplasm that produces monoclonal immunoglobulin. Multiple myeloma is known to cause immunoglobulin light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, which frequently involves the kidney and heart.

Daratumumab-Based Treatment for Immunoglobulin Light-Chain Amyloidosis. [PDF]

open access: bronzeNew England Journal of Medicine, 2021
BACKGROUND Systemic immunoglobulin light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is characterized by deposition of amyloid fibrils of light chains produced by clonal CD38+ plasma cells. Daratumumab, a human CD38-targeting antibody, may improve outcomes for this disease.

An updated AL-Base reveals ranked enrichment of immunoglobulin light chain variable genes in AL amyloidosis

open access: greenbioRxiv
Background Each monoclonal antibody light chain associated with AL amyloidosis has a unique sequence. Defining how these sequences lead to amyloid deposition could facilitate faster diagnosis and lead to new treatments.

Long-term outcomes of IMiD-based trials in patients with immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis: a pooled analysis. [PDF]

open access: yesBlood Cancer J, 2020
Rarity of light-chain amyloidosis (AL) makes randomized studies challenging. We pooled three phase II studies of immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) to update survival, toxicity, and assess new response/progression criteria. Studies included were lenalidomide-

Lenalidomide and dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis: results from a large cohort of patients with long follow‐up [PDF]

open access: hybridBritish Journal of Haematology, 2021
Lenalidomide and dexamethasone (RD) is a standard treatment in relapsed/refractory immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis (RRAL). We retrospectively investigated toxicity, efficacy and prognostic markers in 260 patients with RRAL.
