Abstract

PURPOSE

In immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis, amyloid fibrils cause organ dysfunction. Anselamimab, a monoclonal antibody, selectively binds to amyloid fibrils, accelerating their clearance.

METHODS

Newly diagnosed patients with European modification of Mayo 2004 stage IIIa or IIIb AL amyloidosis were randomly assigned to receive anselamimab or placebo with cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (with or without daratumumab). The primary end point was a hierarchical composite of time to all-cause mortality (ACM) and frequency of cardiovascular hospitalizations (CVHs), analyzed using the Finkelstein-Schoenfeld test and win ratio estimation.

RESULTS

Among 406 randomly assigned patients, the primary end point win ratio for anselamimab versus placebo was 1.11 (95% CI, 0.83, 1.50; P = .332) and the hazard ratio (HR) for ACM was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.57, 1.13; P = .290). CVH rates in the anselamimab and placebo groups were 0.59 (95% CI, 0.42, 0.83) and 0.89 (95% CI, 0.55, 1.43), respectively (P = .145). Among patients with kappa isotype (n = 72), the win ratio was 2.06 (95% CI, 0.98, 4.31; P = .100) and anselamimab reduced ACM by 62% versus placebo (HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.17 to 0.86; nominal P = .012), and CVH by 71% (IRR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.10 to 0.87; nominal P = .028) with improvements in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-Overall Score. There was no clinical benefit observed in the lambda population. Anselamimab was generally well-tolerated; safety data were comparable between treatment arms overall.

CONCLUSION

Treatment with anselamimab, an antifibril antibody used alongside antiplasma cell dyscrasia therapy, while not meeting the primary end point in the overall population, significantly improved ACM and CVH in patients with kappa AL, potentially offering a new therapeutic option for this isotype.

INTRODUCTION

Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare, life-threatening disease caused by plasma cell dyscrasia (PCD) producing excess free, unstable immunoglobulin light chains.1-3 Misfolded free light chains are cytotoxic and aggregate into fibrils that deposit in target organs, notably in the heart and kidneys.1,2,4 The disease is rapidly progressive, with high early mortality when diagnosed in advanced stages.5-7 Cardiac involvement, the primary determinant of prognosis staged by serum biomarkers of myocardial injury, is common.8,9 Approximately 79% and 21% of patients with AL amyloidosis have lambda and kappa light chain isotypes, respectively.10-12 The organ tropism and impact of the light chain isotype on clinical presentation is variable.13-15

CONTEXT

  • Key Objective

  • To determine the safety and efficacy of anselamimab in addition to standard of care in patients with advanced cardiac light chain (AL) amyloidosis.

  • Knowledge Generated

  • Anselamimab improves survival in patients with kappa isotype AL amyloidosis and was well-tolerated. Anselamimab also reduces cardiovascular hospitalizations.

  • Relevance (J.W. Friedberg)

  • Although this study was negative for its primary endpoint, the efficacy signal in kappa isotype AL amyloidosis was strong and has biological plausibility. Future trials restricting enrollment to this subset of patients should be performed to validate this finding.*

Anselamimab (originally CAEL101) is a chimeric immunoglobulin (Ig)G1 kappa monoclonal antibody (mAb) directed against human kappa light chain fibril and has shown preclinical reactivity against both isotypes.16-19 Anselamimab reacts with specificity in a conformation-dependent manner with unique epitopes on amyloid fibrils and amyloidogenic light chain aggregates, but not with nonamyloid or circulating free light chains.16 In a mouse model, anselamimab facilitated regression of amyloidomas by eliciting an immune response that facilitates elimination of prefibrillar aggregates in circulation and amyloid fibrils deposited in organs.16,18,19 Phase I and II clinical trials demonstrated that anselamimab was well-tolerated either as monotherapy or in combination with anti-PCD treatment, including daratumumab and cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (CyBorD).20-24

Current treatments for AL amyloidosis, including chemotherapy, targeted immunotherapy, and autologous stem cell transplantation, suppress the underlying plasma cell clone but do not directly accelerate amyloid fibril clearance.1,25 The involved light chain isotype does not influence the choice of anti-PCD treatment regimen. Although the standard first-line regimen of daratumumab and CyBorD induces a high hematologic response, treatment response by the light chain isotype has not been reported in prospective trials.5,6,11

Despite advances seen with these therapies, early mortality stemming from cardiac events remains unchanged among patients with advanced disease in reports on prospective trials although retrospective analyses have shown benefits of early intervention with daratumumab.26-28 Long-term organ dysfunction remains a major cause of decreased quality of life.11 Hence, targeted therapy for amyloid fibril removal is a critical unmet need.1

Cardiac Amyloid Reaching for Extended Survival (CARES) was designed to determine the efficacy and safety of anselamimab in combination with standard of care (SoC) anti-PCD therapy in patients with European modification of Mayo 2004 stage IIIa and IIIb kappa and lambda AL amyloidosis.

METHODS

Study Design and Oversight

The CARES program included two parallel, multicenter, international, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trials in patients with European modification of Mayo 2004 stage IIIa (CAEL101-302; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04512235) and stage IIIb (CAEL101-301; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04504825) AL amyloidosis (Data Supplement, Fig S1, online only). CARES enrolled patients from 19 countries and was approved by the independent review board or ethics committee at each site, in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice guidelines. Eligible patients provided written informed consent and were randomly assigned using a centralized interactive response technology and stratified by geographic region. An external data and safety monitoring board monitored patient safety and conducted unblinded reviews of cumulative trial data. An independent adjudication committee determined whether investigator-reported events met the definition of unplanned cardiovascular hospitalizations (CVHs) with the use of predefined end point criteria in a blinded manner. The statistical analysis was performed by the sponsor, and data tables were provided to the investigators. All authors participated in the data interpretation and review of the manuscript and vouch for the accuracy and completeness of the data and for the fidelity of the trial to the protocol, which is available with the full text of this article.

Patients and Interventions

Both studies enrolled treatment-naïve adult patients diagnosed with either Mayo stage IIIb (N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP] >8,500 ng/L; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04504825) or IIIa (NT-proBNP ≥650 and ≤8,500 ng/L; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04512235) AL amyloidosis.

Eligible patients were randomly assigned 2:1 to receive anselamimab (1,000 mg/m2) or placebo intravenously, in addition to planned anti-PCD treatment with CyBorD according to the institutional SoC. Daratumumab was permitted where available but was not required. Patients received anselamimab or placebo once every 7 (±1) days for the first four infusions and then once every 14 (±2) days for the duration of the primary evaluation treatment period (PETP). The primary analysis was conducted 18 months after the last patient was enrolled in each trial (Data Supplement, Fig S1). Data collected separately from each trial were pooled for the primary analysis.

End Points

The original trial design was based on a primary end point of time to all-cause mortality (ACM) and was intended to continue until a prespecified number of mortality events. During the conduct of the trials, it became clear that the number of prespecified mortality events would not be reached in a reasonable time because of marked improvements in anti-PCD therapy. Therefore, the protocols were amended so that the primary analysis would be conducted 18 months after the last patient was randomly assigned, regardless of the number of deaths observed. The primary end point was also revised to a hierarchical combination of time to ACM and morbidity, expressed as frequency of CVH, defined as because of arrhythmia, heart failure, stroke, myocardial infarction, or unstable angina. Adjudication was conducted by an independent panel of experts who had no other relationship to these trials and were blinded to the randomized treatment assignment.

The components of the composite end point, time to ACM and frequency of CVH, were each analyzed separately as key secondary end points. Additional key secondary end points were changes from baseline (CFB) to week 50 in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-Overall Score (KCCQ-OS), the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and echocardiographic global longitudinal strain (GLS%). As there could be differential effects on kappa and lambda amyloid fibrils, a prespecified analysis of the primary and secondary end points by the light chain isotype, kappa or lambda, was conducted. Adverse events were tabulated for all patients receiving at least one dose of intervention according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0.29

Statistical Analysis

The sample size estimated for time to ACM was 124 and 267 patients for CAEL101-301 and CAEL101-302, respectively. Improvements in SoC since these trials were initiated prompted a study amendment. The primary end point was changed to a hierarchical composite end point, and the analysis plan was revised to pool the studies. Simulations assuming a 50% relative reduction in the risk of death and CVH frequency yielded a power of >85% for the revised plan. Analysis for the primary end point was conducted on the pooled intent-to-treat (ITT) population from both studies using the stratified Finkelstein-Schoenfeld (F-S) test and win ratio estimation, with strata determined by trial, geographic region (North American or rest of the world), and daratumumab use at baseline.30,31 Within each stratum, all patient pairs were compared first on time to ACM and, if a winner could not be identified, then patients were compared on CVH frequency for the F-S test. The win ratio estimate is the number of pairs of treated patient wins divided by the number of pairs of placebo patient wins. Time to ACM was tested using the stratified log-rank test, and hazard ratio (HR) was estimated using the Cox proportional hazards model. CVH frequency was analyzed using negative binomial regression. All other secondary end points were analyzed using ranked analysis of covariance. The key secondary end points were tested for nominal significance: CFB to week 50 in KCCQ-OS and the 6MWT, time to ACM from random assignment to end of PETP, frequency of CVH from random assignment to the end of PETP, and CFB to week 50 in GLS%. For hematologic response, difference (95% CI) between anselamimab and placebo in proportion of patients was estimated using a stratified Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel method.

RESULTS

Patients

A total of 406 newly diagnosed patients were randomly assigned, of whom 72 (17.7%) had the kappa isotype. The demographics and disease characteristics at baseline were balanced between the groups in the overall population (Table 1 and Data Supplement, Table S1). However, some disease characteristics were slightly different between the overall population and the kappa isotype population. The median difference between involved and uninvolved free light chains (dFLC) was 310 mg/L (range, 4-10,057 mg/L) in the overall population and 483 mg/L (range, 4-4,668 mg/L) in the kappa isotype group. Among the 406 patients, 61.8% and 33.3% were classified as Mayo stage IIIa and IIIb, respectively, and 54.2% and 41.7% of kappa isotype patients were in Mayo stage IIIa and IIIb, respectively. In addition, among the kappa isotype population receiving anselamimab, there were more patients in stage IIIb (n = 23; 47.9%) with higher median NT-proBNP levels (8,215.1 ng/L) but lower median dFLC levels (385 mg/L) than those receiving placebo (corresponding values: n = 7 [29.2%]; 5,456.0 ng/L; 514 mg/L; Table 1).

Patient Disposition

Of the 406 randomly assigned patients, 271 received at least one dose of anselamimab and 134 received at least one dose of placebo (Fig 1). By the end of the PETP (18 months after the last patient was enrolled), 143 (52.8%) patients in the anselamimab group and 76 (56.3%) patients in the placebo group had discontinued the intervention, most commonly because of death (Fig 1).

Patients received anselamimab or placebo for a median of 21.4 months and 21.1 months, respectively. Among patients with the kappa isotype, the median duration of treatment was 22.3 months in the anselamimab group and 11.8 months in the placebo group. Daratumumab was used in 215 (79.3%) and 113 (83.7%) patients at any time during the PETP in the anselamimab and placebo groups, respectively. In the kappa isotype group, 35 (72.9%) and 18 (75.0%) patients received daratumumab at any time during PETP in the anselamimab and placebo groups, respectively.

Efficacy

In the primary analysis that hierarchically assessed ACM, followed by frequency of CVH, treatment with anselamimab was not associated with a statistically significant benefit compared with placebo by the F-S method, with a win ratio of 1.11 (95% CI, 0.83 to 1.50; P = .332; Table 2, Fig 2A). There were no significant differences between anselamimab and placebo in any of the secondary end points. In the prespecified isotype analyses, there was a notable difference between the kappa and lambda isotype populations in the primary end point (Fig 3A). CVH by category is reported in the Data Supplement (Table S2).

In the kappa isotype population, the estimated win ratio for the primary end point between the anselamimab and placebo groups was 2.06 (95% CI, 0.98 to 4.31, nominal P = .100; Table 2). The corresponding win ratio for patients with the lambda isotype was 0.90 (95% CI, 0.64 to 1.27, nominal P = .848; Table 2). In addition, in the kappa isotype population, there was significant and clinically meaningful reduction in incidence of ACM (62% reduction; HR, 0.38 [95% CI, 0.17 to 0.86]; nominal P = .012) and frequency of CVH (71% decrease; estimated CVH rate ratio of 0.29 [95% CI, 0.10 to 0.87]; nominal P = .028) with anselamimab treatment versus placebo (Table 2, Fig 2B). In the lambda isotype population, there was no change in ACM (HR, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.68 to 1.52], P = .647) or CVH (rate ratio, 0.87 [95% CI, 0.46 to 1.65]; P = .664) versus placebo (Table 2, Fig 2C).

In the kappa isotype population, reductions by disease stage in ACM of 75% (HR, 0.25 [95% CI, 0.06 to 0.93]; nominal P = .021) and 48% (HR, 0.52 [95% CI, 0.17 to 1.54]; nominal P = .238) were observed among patients in Mayo stages IIIa (Fig 4A) and IIIb (Fig 4B), respectively. In addition, decreases in frequency of CVH of 48% (estimated rate ratio, 0.52 [95% CI, 0.09 to 3.14]; nominal P = .479) and 86% (estimated rate ratio, 0.14 [95% CI, 0.04 to 0.50]; nominal P = .003) were observed among patients in Mayo stages IIIa and IIIb, respectively. Trends favoring anselamimab for the primary end point were observed in all subgroups (≥15 patients) in the kappa isotype population (Fig 3B).

In the kappa isotype population, an estimated median improvement of 10.37 points (95% CI, –9.38 to 26.56) was observed in KCCQ-OS at week 50 between the anselamimab and placebo groups, with improvements of 8.07 points (95% CI, –15.10 to 26.83) among patients in stage IIIa and 24.22 points (95% CI, –35.16 to 50.52) among patients in stage IIIb. There was no improvement observed in the lambda isotype population (Data Supplement, Table S3). In the kappa isotype population, there was also a favorable trend for anselamimab compared with placebo in 6MWT change at week 50 of 18.00 m (95% CI, –71.60 to 95.92 m). No differences between anselamimab and placebo were observed in GLS% for either light chain isotype at week 50.

Hematologic Response

There was no meaningful difference in hematologic response between the anselamimab and placebo groups in the overall ITT population or the kappa isotype population during PETP (Data Supplement, Table S4).

Safety

Safety data were comparable between the anselamimab and placebo groups in the overall PETP population (Table 3). The most frequently reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in ≥25% of patients in either arm were diarrhea, edema peripheral, constipation, nausea, COVID-19 disease, hypotension, cough, and fatigue (Data Supplement, Table S5). In anselamimab-treated patients, safety data in the kappa isotype population were generally consistent with those observed in the overall population (Table 3 and Data Supplement, Table S6).

DISCUSSION

Treatment with anselamimab in addition to SoC anti-PCD therapy did not demonstrate significant improvement in the hierarchical primary end point in overall population or kappa isotype patients. However, in patients with newly diagnosed kappa isotype AL amyloidosis treated in the CARES trials, anselamimab in combination with SoC demonstrated reductions in ACM and CVH and improvement in KCCQ-OS compared with placebo. There was no impact of anselamimab on patients with the lambda isotype. The estimated win ratio of composite end point in the kappa isotype population of 2.06 indicated that anselamimab-treated patients were twice as likely as placebo-treated patients to have better survival or fewer CVH. When the kappa isotype population was analyzed separately, compared with placebo, anselamimab demonstrated significant reductions in ACM among patients in Mayo stage IIIa and in CVH among patients in Mayo stage IIIb. These data may reflect that anselamimab was generated using a kappa isotype immunogen, and preclinical studies have indicated differences in affinity and binding to kappa amyloid fibrils versus lambda fibrils.16,18,19 This suggests that stronger binding to amyloid fibrils may lead to better amyloid clearance, a concept that needs further testing and evaluation.16,32 The lack of significance in the F-S test for the kappa isotype patients could be attributed to two main factors: (a) the kappa isotype population included only 72 patients, a small sample size for which the stratified F-S test is not suited, and (b) since the composite end point was hierarchical requiring evaluation of ACM first and CVH only in patients who were alive, a potential survivor bias complicated the CVH comparison. Although benefits on CVH were observed in patients who subsequently died, they did not contribute to the F-S test since CVH was only compared in patients who survived (tied in the ACM comparison). There was no additional benefit observed in patients who survived.

As expected, hematologic responses, based on reduction of dFLC in response to anti-PCD therapy, were comparable in both arms. The protocol allowed change in therapy per individual institution guidelines to achieve a favorable hematologic response. Since anselamimab targets removal of existing fibrils and not the production of new amyloidogenic light chains, it acts in a complementary manner with anti-PCD therapies. In this study, NT-proBNP decreased from baseline in the anselamimab treatment arm and the placebo arm for patients with either kappa or lambda isotype. The CFB to week 50 was greater in patients with the kappa isotype treated with anselamimab than those receiving placebo, but the difference was not nominally significant.

In the kappa isotype population, compared with placebo, anselamimab-treated patients showed improvements in KCCQ-OS substantially greater than the minimally clinically important difference (MCID), suggesting functional benefit from the treatment. Improvement was also observed for the 6MWT although it was not greater than MCID.33

There are no treatments available to eliminate amyloid fibrils already deposited in organs.1 The simplicity of identifying patients who may benefit from anselamimab is that a patient's light chain isotype is easily identified using standard tests for diagnosing AL amyloidosis.1,3,8 The clinical benefit of anselamimab in patients with kappa isotype AL amyloidosis, demonstrated independently in both CARES trials, suggests that anselamimab is a first-in-class, promising treatment that complements anti-PCD therapies. Anselamimab represents a major advancement in the treatment of AL amyloidosis by directly targeting amyloid fibrils, thereby improving survival beyond what is achievable with anti-PCD therapies alone.

The hypothesis for the development of antifibril mAb was that they would decrease light chain amyloid burden, irrespective of the isotype. However, our findings indicate that antifibril mAbs recognize highly discrete molecular epitopes and that earlier pan-amyloid strategies might have been based on an overly broad premise. This reason, along with a different mAb target and patient population, might have contributed to the different outcomes reported with other antifibril therapies.34-36

Because of the original design of the CARES trials, the size of the enrolled kappa population is a limitation. The kappa isotype represented 17.7% of the enrolled trial population, consistent with its reported prevalence. Kappa AL amyloidosis is considered ultrarare based on its epidemiology.37 The trials reported here represent the largest kappa AL amyloidosis population ever studied and include stage IIIb, which has been excluded from other clinical trials.

Anselamimab was generally well-tolerated when administered in combination with SoC treatment for PCD. Most of the commonly reported TEAEs are anticipated to occur with underlying AL amyloidosis, common comorbidities, and/or concomitant anti-PCD therapy use.

Anselamimab, a new kappa light chain–directed antifibril mAb used alongside anti-PCD therapy, may offer a fundamentally new therapeutic option for patients with newly diagnosed kappa AL amyloidosis.
