About this study
Official title: An Open-Label, Randomized Phase 3 Trial of Linvoseltamab Compared With Daratumumab, Bortezomib, Cyclophosphamide, and Dexamethasone (Dara-Vcd) in Participants With Newly Diagnosed Systemic Light Chain Amyloidosis
This study is researching a Regeneron drug called linvoseltamab ("study drug") alone compared to standard of care (SoC) combination to see if it can help treat participants who are newly diagnosed and previously untreated for systemic amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis.
The aim of this study is to see if the safety and efficacy of linvoseltamab alone can deliver better disease control and outcomes than Dara-VCd.

The study is looking at:
- What side effects linvoseltamab alone might cause
- How well linvoseltamab works compared to Dara-VCd regimen in terms of reductions of the abnormal proteins that cause AL-amyloidosis that affects the heart and kidney functions and for how long
- How much linvoseltamab is in the blood at different times
- Whether the body makes antibodies against linvoseltamab (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)
- Being tested
- Linvoseltamab, Daratumumab, Bortezomib, Cyclophosphamide, Dexamethasone

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Linvoseltamab, Daratumumab and Bortezomib in people with Newly Diagnosed Amyloidosis and Amyloidosis Stage I-IIIA, run by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
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 4 inclusion and 6 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2026. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Clinical Trials Administrator (844-734-6643, clinicaltrials@regeneron.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Occurrence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Up to 7 years). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Oct 2026.
