A Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of birtamimab plus standard of care compared to placebo plus standard of care in Mayo Stage IV patients with AL amyloidosis.
This is a Phase 3 multicenter, global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of birtamimab in Mayo Stage IV patients with AL amyloidosis (i.e., Double-blind Phase), followed by a long-term, open-label extension (i.e., Open-label Extension \[OLE\] Phase). The primary objective of the Double-blind Phase is to evaluate the efficacy of birtamimab by assessing time to all-cause mortality. All patients will receive bortezomib-containing chemotherapy regimen as standard of care. For the Double-blind Phase of the study, approximately 220 newly diagnosed Mayo Stage IV patients with AL amyloidosis will be enrolled and randomized in a 2:1 ratio to birtamimab or placebo. Subjects will remain on study until study completion, when the pre-defined number of events (all-cause mortality) have been reached. After completion of the Double-blind Phase, eligible subjects may enter the optional OLE Phase, in which all subjects will receive open-label birtamimab treatment, regardless of Double-blind Phase randomized treatment assignment. Treatment in the OLE Phase will continue for an additional 24 months or until birtamimab is commercially available in a subject's country of residence, whichever occurs first (in accordance with country-specific regulations). The primary objective of the OLE Phase is to evaluate the long-term safety of birtamimab plus standard of care in Mayo Stage IV subjects with AL amyloidosis.

Intravenous administration of 24 mg/kg birtamimab every 28 days
Intravenous 0.9% Saline administration as a placebo every 28 days
Bortezomib-containing chemotherapy regimen (e.g. cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (CyBorD)) according to the institutional standard of care
Time to All-cause Mortality for the Double Blind Phase
Comparison of time to all-cause mortality for birtamimab and placebo control.
Time frame: Time from the first dose of study drug until the pre-defined number of events (all-cause mortality) have been reached, assessed up to 39 months.
6MWT Distance at Month 9
Change from baseline to Month 9 in the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) distance calculated as the value at 9 months minus the value at baseline.
Time frame: Month 9
Physical Component Summary Score of the Short Form-36, Version 2 at Month 9
Change from baseline to Month 9 in the Short Form-36, version 2 (SF-36) calculated as the value at 9 months minus the value at baseline. SF-36 v2 is a 36-item self-administered quality-of-life questionnaire that measures health on functional status, well-being, and overall evaluation of health. The Physical Component Summary score ranges from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating higher health-related quality of life. The Physical Component Summary is derived primarily from questions regarding physical functioning, physical problems, bodily pain, and general health questions.
Time frame: Month 9
