Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • >=18 years of age.
  • Laboratory values obtained <=14 days prior to registration.
  • No limitation on the cardiac ejection fraction
  • Bilirubin <3 mg/dL
  • Absolute neutrophil count >=500/microliters
  • Histochemical diagnosis of amyloidosis as based on detection by polarizing microscopy of green bi-refringent material in Congo red-stained tissue specimens or characteristic electron microscopy appearance.

  • Demonstrable M-protein in the serum/urine or clonal population of plasma cells in the bone marrow or immunohistochemical stain with anti-light chain anti-sera of amyloid fibrils.
  • ECOG performance status 0, 1, 2, or 3.
  • Symptomatic organ involvement with amyloid to justify therapy. This could include liver involvement, cardiac involvement, renal involvement, peripheral neuropathy, or soft tissue involvement. Must have more than purpura or carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Previously treated or untreated. No limit to prior therapy provided there is adequate residual organ function.
  • Ability to provide informed consent.
  • Ability to self-inject medication or have a caregiver who can administer the drug.

Who cannot join

  • Amyloid-specific syndrome, such as, carpal tunnel syndrome or skin purpura as only evidence of disease. The finding of vascular amyloid only in a bone marrow biopsy specimen or in a plasmacytoma is not indicative of systemic amyloidosis.
  • Presence of non-AL amyloidosis.
  • Melphalan or other alkylating agents, high-dose dexamethasone or alpha interferon <=4 weeks prior to registration.
  • Concurrent use of corticosteroids, but patients may be on chronic steroids if they are being given for disorders other than amyloid, i.e., adrenal insufficiency, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
  • Any of the following:
  • Pregnant women

  • Nursing women
  • Men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception (condoms, diaphragm, birth control pills, injections, intrauterine device [IUD], surgical sterilization, abstinence, etc.)
  • Uncontrolled infection.
  • Clinically overt multiple myeloma (monoclonal BMPC >30%), and at least one of the following:
  • Bone lesions
  • Hypercalcemia
  • Active malignancy with the exception of adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, adequately treated Stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in complete remission, or any other cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for 5 years.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Enbrel in patients with primary systemic Amyloidosis.

Read the detailed description

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Enbrel in patients with primary systemic amyloidosis using a one-stage, phase II study design with an interim analysis. This study will also assess survival and progression times, symptom relief, and toxicity associated with Enbrel in primary systemic amyloidosis patients. Two groups of patients with very different risk profiles can be identified with respect to this disease. Patients with symptomatic cardiac disease and/or at least two involved organs ar at high risk and historically have a median survival less than six months. Patients without these conditions have a significantly better prognosis. Both subgroups will be studied in the present study, and essentially two phase-II clinical trials, one for each subgroup, will be run in parallel.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Enbrel in people with Primary Systemic Amyloidosis, run by The Cleveland Clinic.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

clinical efficacy. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 May 2023.
