1 Screening Phase
The Screening Phase begins when the ICF is signed. During the Screening Phase, eligibility criteria will be reviewed, and a complete clinical evaluation will be performed, as specified in the Schedule of events for screening, treatment phase and follow-up (Table 14). Screening tests/procedures should be performed within 28 days before approval; however, radiologic tests (eg, WB-LDCT, skeletal radiography, MRI or PET-CT) to identify potential lytic lesions, spirometry, or bone marrow aspirate/biopsy performed up to 6 weeks (42 days) before eligibility approval as routine standard of care for the participant’s disease can be used. The following data must be collected during the Screening Phase: disease characteristics, including organs involved and relevant biomarkers; date of diagnosis; Mayo cardiac stage; available pathology and molecular data; prior therapies for AL amyloidosis. Two negative pregnancy tests for FCBP must be documented at screening, including one within 24 hours prior to the first dose of the trial treatment. Trial treatment must begin within 7 days from the sponsor’s approval. Participants who fail to meet the inclusion criteria, or who fulfill any of the exclusion criteria (i.e., screen failures), may be rescreened once, if their condition changes. Rescreening must be discussed with and approved by the sponsor on a case-by-case basis. Participants who are determined to be eligible for rescreening must sign a new ICF and will be assigned a new screening number. Participants approved by the sponsor, who do not receive C1D1 trial treatment for any reason (e.g., failure to meet eligibility criteria in C1D1, withdrawal of consent, death), will be considered screen failures.
Not Applicable None
2 Treatment Phase
In the Treatment Phase, following the initial step-up dosing on C1D1 and C1D4, teclistamab will be administered at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg on C1D8 and C1D15. From Cycle 2 onwards, dosing will occur monthly (Q4W) at 3 mg/kg. All participants will undergo a standard of 6 cycles of treatment. Some participants may continue receiving trial treatment for up to a maximum of 12 cycles. Patients may continue receiving trial treatment beyond the standard 6 cycles of treatment if there is clinical benefit according to the investigator, and following Sponsor approval. Teclistamab administration will take place in 28-day cycles, ±3 days. Participants will receive teclistamab according to the dosing schedule in Section 9, for either 6 cycles or 12 cycles (if clinically indicated and upon sponsor’s approval). Six cycles will be the standard duration of treatment unless, after discussion between the investigator and the sponsor, it is determined that a participant would benefit from treatment beyond 6 cycles and up to a maximum of 12 cycles. While there will be no dose escalation phase, as the dose and drug schedule have already been determined in previous teclistamab trials in MM, there will be a safety analysis to assess the safety and tolerability of teclistamab in AL amyloidosis patients. The safety analysis will consist of data from at least 6 participants who have received at least 1 cycle of treatment, which will be evaluated by the IDMC. After the review, the IDMC will make recommendations regarding the continuation of the study. Details will be provided in a separate IDMC charter. The decision to proceed with the trial design unmodified or to modify the trial treatment plan will be made by the sponsor based on the IDMC's recommendations after data review. Participants in the safety analysis will continue with all scheduled assessments, as specified in the Schedule of events for screening, treatment phase and follow-up (Table 14), and will contribute to the overall safety and efficacy evaluation. After the End of Treatment (EoT) visit, all participants will be followed according to the evaluation schedule until the completion of 12 months after the last participant enters the Follow-up Phase.
Not Applicable None
3 Follow-up Phase
The Follow-up Phase starts after the completion of the EoT visit and will continue until lost to follow-up, death, full withdrawal of consent, or end of the trial (Section 10.1.5), whichever occurs first. If the participant has died, the date and cause of death will be collected and documented in the eCRF, if or when available. PFS, MOD-PFS and OS information, as well as AEs, will be followed as described in Section 10.6.8.1. Participants who have discontinued treatment, completed treatment, and/or have initiated a subsequent treatment for AL amyloidosis will also be followed according to this schedule. Patient follow-up will continue until the end of the trial (up to 12 months after the last participant enters the Followup Phase i.e., maximum follow-up duration of 30 months), unless the patient withdraws consent, dies due to any cause, or is lost tofollow-up. AEs will be followed for 30 days after the last dose of the trial treatment, or longer, if required (see follow-up for SAEs in Section 12.4.4); see also Section 10.5.6 for follow-up related to the risk of HBV reactivation associated with the trial treatment, which requires continued monitoring for up to 6 months after the last dose of treatment, and HCV monitoring. Any subsequent anti-AL amyloidosis treatment will be recorded, including response to treatment and the date of subsequent progression, if available till the trial ends.

Data from the initial diagnosis are accepted.
  2. 2. Genetic testing must be negative for transthyretin mutations associated with hereditary amyloidosis, or immunohistochemistry/ immunofluorescence/ immunoelectron microscopy/ mass spectrometry of amyloid deposits must provide clear evidence of κ or λ light chains in patients who present with peripheral neuropathy or heart as the dominant organ involvement. Data from the initial diagnosis are accepted.
  3. 3. Age ≥ 18 years.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. The hematologic CR rate at the completion of 3 cycles (M3) of teclistamab, according to current criteria for response in AL amyloidosis.

Secondary endpoints 13

  1. • The hematologic ORR, defined as the proportion of patients achieving a best hematologic response of PR or better, at the completion of 1 (M1), 3 (M3), and 6 cycles (M6), and every 3 months thereafter.
  2. • The VGPR rate, defined as the proportion of patients achieving a best hematologic response of VGPR or better, at the completion of 1 (M1), 3 (M3), and 6 cycles (M6), and every 3 months thereafter.
  3. • The duration of hematologic response, defined as the time from the date of initial documentation of hematologic PR, VGPR, or CR, to the date of first documented evidence of hematologic progressive disease (PD). For patients who have not progressed, data will be censored at the last disease assessment.
  4. • The rate of organ response according to standard criteria, defined as the proportion of patients achieving an organ response among patients with corresponding organ involvement, at the completion of 1 (M1), 3 (M3) and 6 cycles (M6), and every 3 months thereafter. For heart and kidney, the depth of response will be presented at the completion of 1 (M1), 3 (M3) and 6 cycles (M6), and every 3 months thereafter, based on the criteria mentioned on Table 16
  5. • The time to hematologic response, defined as the time from the date of C1D1 to the date of the first efficacy evaluation during which the patient has met all criteria for hematologic PR, VGPR or CR. Patients without a hematologic response will be censored, either at the date of PD or, in the absence of PD, at the last evaluable disease assessment.
  6. • The hemPFS, defined as the time from the date of C1D1 to the date of first documentation of hematologic PD, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Patients who are still alive and not yet progressed will be censored at the last disease assessment.
  7. • The MOD-PFS, defined as the time from the date of C1D1 to hematologic PD, manifestation of cardiac/renal failure, or death, whichever occurs first. For alive and MOD-PFS-free patients, censoring will be considered at the last adequate disease assessment.
