| Abstract: | Amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis is the result of a clonal plasma cell expansion, in which monoclonal light chains transform to amyloid deposit in various tissues and can lead to organ dysfunction and organ failure. The median survival of patients with AL amyloidosis without therapy is 10-14 months. With high-dose melphalan (HDM) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), haematological and clinical remission rates of up to 50% of treated patients have been reported from phase II studies. HDM followed by ASCT appears to prolong survival in patients, if haematological remission can be reached. In this phase II study, we evaluated vincristine, adriamycin and dexamethasone (VAD) as induction chemotherapy prior to stem cell mobilization and HDM with ASCT. The regimen was, in general, feasible in patients with AL amyloidosis, but VAD chemotherapy had a considerable World Health Organization (WHO) grade III-IV toxicity (25%) and mortality (7%) rate. VAD pretreatment did not interfere with stem cell mobilization and HDM with ASCT was possible in 86% of patients. The overall treatment efficacy was comparable with reported results of HDM and ASCT without preceding chemotherapy. We could not show an additional benefit of VAD induction in terms of increasing haematological response rate; however the 13% mortality rate after HDM and ASCT in our series was lower than the previous report. |
