BCMA/GPRC5D Trispecific Antibody Treatment for Newly Diagnosed Amyloidosis (AL-004)

Официальное название

A Single-arm Single-center Trial of BCMA/GPRC5D Trispecific Antibody Treatment for Newly Diagnosed Amyloidosis (AL-004)

Обзор

Systemic light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is a plasma cell disorder characterized by the production of misfolded immunoglobulin light chains that deposit in organs and lead to progressive organ dysfunction. Although daratumumab-based therapy has improved outcomes, a substantial proportion of patients fail to achieve deep hematologic responses. This is a prospective, single-arm, single-center clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the BCMA/GPRC5D/CD3 trispecific antibody QLS4131 in patients with newly diagnosed systemic AL amyloidosis.

Подробное описание

Systemic light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare plasma cell disorder caused by the production of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains that misfold and deposit in vital organs, resulting in progressive organ dysfunction and poor survival. Rapid suppression of pathogenic plasma cells and achievement of deep hematologic responses are strongly associated with improved organ recovery and survival.

Current first-line treatment based on daratumumab plus cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone has significantly improved clinical outcomes; however, approximately 40% of patients do not achieve complete hematologic remission, and early mortality remains substantial. Therefore, more effective frontline therapies are needed.

QLS4131 is a novel GPRC5D/BCMA/CD3 trispecific antibody that simultaneously targets two plasma-cell antigens (BCMA and GPRC5D) while redirecting CD3-positive T cells to eliminate malignant plasma cells. Dual-antigen targeting may improve tumor recognition, reduce antigen escape, and enhance antitumor activity without substantially increasing toxicity.

This prospective, single-arm, single-center study will enroll approximately 20 adult patients with newly diagnosed systemic AL amyloidosis. Participants will receive subcutaneous QLS4131 using a step-up dosing schedule followed by maintenance dosing for 6 to 8 treatment cycles.
