ISA 2020 | The evolution of AL amyloidosis therapy

Many therapies for AL amyloidosis are derived from treatments commonly used for multiple myeloma, with initial trials investigating melphalan and prednisone. In this video Joel Buxbaum, MD, Scripps Research, La Jolla, CA, tells us about the evolution of AL amyloidosis therapy, delineating the trend of regimens that parallel that of multiple myeloma and commenting on alternative therapies such as TUDCA, doxycycline and epigallocatechin-3-gallate. This interview was recorded via an online conference call with The Video Journal of Hematological Oncology (VJHemOnc).
