The Effect of Novel Treatments in Improving Renal Outcomes Among Patients With Light Chain Cast Nephropathy
Brigham and Women's Hospital
Summary
Objective 1: To test whether treatment with plasma exchange improves renal recovery in patients with light chain cast nephropathy Objective 2: To compare renal outcomes among patients treated with plasma exchange versus daratumumab-based regimens versus non-daratumumab based-regimens.
Description
Objective 1: We will collect data from patients treated with plasma exchange from major centers across the United States to investigate whether plasma exchange improves renal outcomes. Specifically, we will collect data on at least 150 patients treated with plasma exchange along with 300 control patients not treated with plasma exchange. Objective 2: We will compare renal outcomes among patients with light chain cast nephropathy and AKI treated with plasma exchange (n=150) versus daratumumab based regimen (eg Dara-CyborD) (n=150) versus other novel regimens (e.g., CyborD or another non-dar…
