Background

Daratumumab has improved outcomes in AL amyloidosis, but real-world data in patients with renal involvement are limited. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of daratumumab-based regimens in AL amyloidosis with renal involvement.

Methods

Retrospective single-center study including 65 patients with AL amyloidosis and renal involvement treated with daratumumab-based (n=21) or non-daratumumab regimens (n=44). Outcomes included overall survival, ESKD, and the composite of death or ESKD.

Results

Daratumumab-treated patients achieved higher hematologic complete response (CR) (38.1% vs 11.9%, p=0.037), very-good partial response (VGPR) or better (81.0% vs 28.6%, p<0.001), renal CR (38.1% vs 9.5%, p=0.014), and renal VGPR or better (61.9% vs 19.0%, p=0.002), with lower mortality (28.6% vs 81.0%, p<0.001). ECOG ≥2 and cardiac involvement independently predicted mortality, while Palladini renal renal stage predicted renal progression and ESKD. Daratumumab was independently associated with lower mortality and lower risk of death or ESKD.

Conclusion

In this real-world cohort, daratumumab-based regimens were associated with deeper hematologic and renal responses and improved survival in AL amyloidosis with renal involvement, supporting their central role in current treatment strategies.
