Summary

This trial is studying how well a monoclonal antibody called isatuximab works in treating patients with primary amyloidosis that has come back or does not respond to treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with primary amyloidosis that has returned or isn't responding to treatment. They must not have taken certain anti-amyloidogenic substances recently, should be in relatively good health with a performance status of <=2, and have no severe allergies to monoclonal antibodies like isatuximab. Participants need functioning major organs, controlled blood pressure and diabetes, no HIV/AIDS complications, and cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the effectiveness of Isatuximab—a type of monoclonal antibody—in patients with relapsed or refractory primary amyloidosis. It aims to see if this drug can stop cancer cells from growing and spreading. The study also includes laboratory biomarker analysis to monitor responses.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions due to the body's response to a foreign protein (isatuximab), as well as symptoms related to immune system activation such as fever, chills, weakness, nausea, headache, rash or breathing difficulties.
