ANDROMEDA trial shows OS benefit in AL Amyloidosis: 5-year OS with Dara-VCd vs VCd-76% vs 64% (HR 0.62; p=0.12).

OS benefit despite ~70% of pts in VCd arm receiving Dara subsequently!

About the ANDROMEDA Trial

ANDROMEDA is the pivotal trial for the first-ever approved therapy for newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis. Daratumumab SC added to VCd significantly improved MOD-PFS (HR 0.47, P<0.0001), OS (HR 0.62, P=0.0121), and doubled cardiac + renal response rates. Accelerated approval 2021 → traditional approval November 19, 2025 on 61.4-mo median follow-up. Cardiac toxicity in stage IIIB/IV patients remains a concern; EMN22 is evaluating dara mono in this high-risk subset (77.5% hemORR). D-VCd is the new global SOC for newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis.

FDA Approval

FDA APPROVED Darzalex Faspro + VCd — Daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj (Darzalex Faspro) with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (VCd) for newly diagnosed light chain (AL) amyloidosis. Traditional approval granted November 19, 2025 based on final MOD-PFS and OS; accelerated approval first granted 2021. NOT indicated for NYHA Class IIIB/IV or Mayo Stage IIIB outside clinical trials (cardiac safety concerns).

Trial Methodology & Results

Major Organ Deterioration Progression-Free Survival (MOD-PFS) — Primary Endpoint (Final Analysis)

Median: not reached (Dara + VCd (D-VCd)) vs. 30.2 months (VCd alone). HR 0.47 (95% CI 0.33-0.67), P<0.0001 Median follow-up at final analysis rate: 61.4% (months). Phase 3 open-label randomized active-controlled trial, N=388 (D-VCd N=195, VCd N=193). Median follow-up 61.4 months. MOD-PFS (composite: hematologic progression, major organ deterioration, or death) HR 0.47 (95% CI 0.33-0.67, P<0.0001). Median MOD-PFS NOT REACHED with D-VCd vs. 30.2 months with VCd. Primary endpoint met for BOTH accelerated (2021) and traditional (Nov 2025) FDA approvals. Kastritis et al., ANDROMEDA final analysis.

✓ MOD-PFS HR 0.47 (P<0.0001); median NR vs 30.2 mo

Overall Survival (OS)

HR 0.62 (95% CI 0.42-0.90), P=0.0121 Final OS analysis: HR 0.62 (95% CI 0.42-0.90, P=0.0121) — 38% reduction in risk of death. Median OS not reached in either arm. 5-year OS rate 76.1% with D-VCd. Complete hematologic response rate at 6 months 50% (D-VCd) vs. 14% (VCd) per primary (HR 6.1, P<0.001). ORR 92% vs. 77%; ≥VGPR 79% vs. 49% (OR 3.8). 6-month cardiac response rate 42% (D-VCd) vs. 22% (VCd) (P=0.0029). 6-month renal response rate 54% vs. 27% (P<0.0001).

Safety & Tolerability

Key AEs: Grade ≥3: lymphopenia (13%), pneumonia (8%) - in D-VCd arm. Serious/fatal CARDIAC adverse reactions occurred — Warning and Precaution for cardiac toxicity in prescribing info. NOT indicated for NYHA Class IIIB/IV or Mayo Stage IIIB outside clinical trials. Other boxed concerns: hypersensitivity / administrative reactions, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, embryo-fetal toxicity, interference with cross-matching / RBC antibody screening. Recommended dose: 1,800 mg daratumumab + 30,000 units hyaluronidase-fihj SC into abdomen per schedule.

⚠ Cardiac toxicity warning; NYHA IIIB/IV excluded

Clinical Implications

FDA traditional approval (Nov 19, 2025): D-VCd is the first approved therapy for newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis. ANDROMEDA is the pivotal trial for the first-ever approved therapy for newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis. Daratumumab SC added to VCd significantly improved MOD-PFS (HR 0.47, P<0.0001), OS (HR 0.62, P=0.0121), and doubled cardiac + renal response rates. Accelerated approval 2021 → traditional approval November 19, 2025 on 61.4-mo median follow-up. Cardiac toxicity in stage IIIB/IV patients remains a concern; EMN22 is evaluating dara mono in this high-risk subset (77.5% hemORR). D-VCd is the new global SOC for newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis.
