Introduction

In recent years, there have been promising therapeutic advances in light chain (AL) amyloidosis, however, several unmet needs remain in this disease. Early and accurate diagnosis present a key challenge, and both clinicians and researchers are investigating novel strategies with the aim of improving outcomes for patients.

In this podcast, Angela Dispenzieri, MD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, Paolo Lopedote, MD, St Elizabeth’s Medical Center, Boston, MA, Vaishali Sanchorawala, MD, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, and Efstathios Kastritis, MD, University of Athens, Athens, Greece, discuss unmet needs in AL amyloidosis, as well as novel immunotherapy strategies being explored. The experts also highlight the prevalence of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) in this disease setting.
