S1702 Isatuximab in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Primary Amyloidosis

Inclusion Criteria

• Patient must have relapsed or refractory primary systemic AL amyloidosis, histologically-confirmed by positive Congo red stain with green by birefringence on polarized light microscopy, OR characteristic appearance by electron microscopy AND confirmatory AL amyloid typing (mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis or immunofluorescence)
• Patient must have measurable disease within 28 days prior to registration; serum beta2 microglobulin, serum quantitative immunoglobulins (immunoglobulin [Ig]G, IgA, and IgM), serum free kappa and lambda, and serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) with M-protein quantification must be obtained within 14 days prior to registration
• Patient must demonstrate a difference in the involved serum free light chains (kappa or lambda) versus the uninvolved serum free light chain of >= 4.5 mg/dL within 14 days prior to registration
• Patient must have objective organ involvement defined by ONE (or more) of the following; all disease for involved organs must be assessed and documented on the AL baseline tumor assessment form
• Kidney: albuminuria greater than or equal to 500 mg per day on a 24-hour urine specimen within 35 days prior to registration, OR prior kidney biopsy (at time of diagnosis) showing amyloid deposition
• Heart: mean left ventricular wall thickness on echocardiogram greater than or equal to 12 mm in the absence of hypertension or valvular heart disease, OR N-terminal fragment brain natriuretic protein (NT-pro) brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) greater than 332 ng/mL provided that patient does not have impaired renal function (as defined by calculated creatinine clearance less than 25 mL/min) within 14 days prior to registration, OR prior cardiac biopsy (at time of diagnosis) showing amyloid deposition with past documented or presently noted clinical symptoms and signs supportive of a diagnosis of heart failure in the absence of an alternative explanation for heart failure
• Liver: hepatomegaly (total liver span > 15 cm) as demonstrated by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 35 days prior to registration OR elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal within 14 days prior to registration, OR prior liver biopsy (at time of diagnosis) showing amyloid deposition
• Gastrointestinal tract: prior biopsy showing amyloid deposition AND symptoms such as GI bleeding or persistent diarrhea (> 4 loose stools/day on most days over a consecutive 28-day period)
• Autonomic or peripheral nervous system: orthostatic blood pressure, symptoms of nausea, early satiety, diarrhea or constipation, abnormal sensory and/or motor findings on neurologic exam, or gastric atony by gastric emptying scan; Note: pulse and blood pressure must be recorded with the patient supine (lying down), and then again after at least 1 minute, but less than 3 minutes of standing; this assessment must be repeated on 2 separate occasions (at least 1 day apart; e.g. day -3 and day -1) within a 28-day screening period
• Soft tissue: macroglossia, or soft tissue deposits (including lymphadenopathy, recurrent peri-orbital purpura, peri-articular, skin or other soft tissue) requiring therapy
• Patients must not have active symptomatic multiple myeloma, as defined by 2015 International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria (hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia, and bone [CRAB] criteria; bone marrow plasmacytosis > 60%); kappa: lambda ratio > 100 is acceptable only if the clinical symptoms and sign are attributable only to amyloidosis and not multiple myeloma (hemoglobin [Hgb] = 14 days or investigational drug >= 28 days prior to registration, surgery (other than biopsies) >= 21 days prior to registration, and any autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) >= 100 days prior to registration
• Patients must not have received any or supplements which have been known to have some anti-amyloidogenic effect (such as: doxycycline; curcumin; prednisone; dexamet
