About This Trial

Open-label Phase 1b Dose Escalation/Dose Expansion study exploring the safety and efficacy of NXC-201 in patients with relapsed or refractory light chain amyloidosis (AL).

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 40 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. ≥18 years of age. 2. Voluntarily signed willing to sign a consent form form (ICF). 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2. 4. Histologically proven systemic AL amyloidosis confirmed by positive Congo red staining with green birefringence on polarized light microscopy in an organ outside the bone marrow and evidence of a measurable clonal plasma cell disease that requires active treatment. 1. An underlying plasma cell disorder can be identified by one of the following: clonal plasma cells in the BM, monoclonal protein in the serum or urine, or abnormal free light chain ratio. 2. Because AL amyloidosis may present with low volumes of bone marrow plasma cells, prior biopsies demonstrating clonal plasma cell populations may be used to determine eligibility. 3. Measurable hematologic disease: difference between involved and uninvolved FLC \> 20 mg/L (or 2mg/dl) with an abnormal k/l ratio; or M-spike \> 0.5mg/dl. 5. Patients should have received at least one line of therapy with a CD38 monoclonal antibody and a proteosome inhibitor and not be in VGPR or CR at the time of inclusion. Patients who did not reach VGPR after two cycles of initial therapy or patients who did achieve VGPR or better but with a hematological relapse can be included. 6. Symptomatic organ involvement (heart, kidney, liver/GI tract, peripheral nervous system). 7. Women of child-bearing potential (WCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to treatment. All sexually active WCBP and all sexually active male subjects must agree to use effective methods of birth control throughout the study. 8. Recovery to ≤Grade 2 or baseline of any non-hematologic toxicities due to prior treatments, excluding alopecia and Grade 3 neuropathy. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

The full protocol is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and includes the primary outcome measures, eligibility criteria, and study endpoints.

Who can participate in NCT06097832?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath.

How do I contact the trial site for NCT06097832?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
