Efstathios Kastritis, MD, University of Athens School of Medicine, Athens, Greece, discusses EMN22 (NCT04131309), a prospective Phase II study that investigated daratumumab monotherapy in newly diagnosed patients with stage 3B light chain (AL) amyloidosis. The study’s primary endpoint was met, with a 65% overall survival (OS) rate at six months. Prof. Kastritis highlights that the median OS of 11 months was significantly greater than in historical controls. The monotherapy also resulted in encouraging rates of hematological and cardiac response, and no unexpected toxicities were reported. This interview took place at the XIX International Symposium on Amyloidosis (ISA) in Rochester, MN.
