Clinical Trials

The primary purpose of this protocol is to create a registry of older (≥50 years old) patients with Hematologic Malignancies. Our main objectives include: To understand the prevalence of frailty and geriatric impairments among patients aged ≥50y and above diagnosed with a hematologic malignancy at UAB and to gather information that would lend support for future research in this vulnerable population.

Cardiac amyloidosis is a major cause of early treatment-related death and poor overall survival in individuals with systemic light chain amyloidosis. This project will develop a novel approach to visualize cardiac amyloid deposits using advanced imaging methods. The long-term goal of this work is to identify the mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction, in order to guide the development of novel life-saving treatments.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of extended dosing with eplontersen in participants with ATTR-CM.

This is a single center, prospective cohort study that is evaluating the ability of 124I-evuzamitide PET scanning to detect potential therapeutic changes in subjects under treatment for ATTR after one year has elapsed since their original 124I-evuzamitide PET scan.

Ten previously scanned subjects will re-consent to undergo another 124I-evuzamitide PET scan. Demographic, clinical and phenotypic data will be collected to characterize potential changes since their previous scans.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of extended dosing with eplontersen in participants with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloid polyneuropathy (hATTR-PN).

This study will test the hypothesis that in patients with previous daratumumab exposure, combination therapy of daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone (DPd) will yield higher complete remission (CR) rates in relapsed/refractory amyloidosis than historical pomalidomide/dexamethasone treatment.

Exercise training in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been associated with an improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life.

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of venetoclax, daratumumab, and dexamethasone for the treatment of systemic light-chain amyloidosis in patients with a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) abnormality called a translocation involving chromosomes 11 and 14, or "t(11;14)". Venetoclax works by attaching to a protein called Bcl-2, in order to kill cancer cells. Daratumumab works by binding to a target on the surface of cancer cells called Cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38).

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.

18F-Flutemetamol (Vizamyl) is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated and FDA-approved for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of the brain to estimate β-amyloid neuritic plaque density in adult patients with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer's disease (AD) or other causes of cognitive decline. This study is designed to evaluate a novel use for 18F-Flutemetamol in cardiac amyloidosis.
