Propylene Glycol-Free Melphalan Hydrochloride (Evomela) in AL Amyloidosis Patients

This is a single arm, open label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of
propylene glycol-free melphalan hydrochloride in patients with AL amyloidosis. Treatment will
be comprised of propylene glycol-free melphalan hydrochloride administered intravenously at a
dose of 70-100 mg/m2/day on Days -3 and -2 as conditioning prior to autologous stem cell
transplantation.

After giving written informed consent, subjects will be evaluated for eligibility for
enrollment in the study. Baseline evaluations will be performed as outlined in Section 7.
Subjects who satisfy all inclusion and exclusion criteria will begin the study drug. Subjects
will be monitored from the time of the medication administration until discharge from the
transplant program for safety. Organ function and hematologic status will also be measured at
6 and 12 month follow-up visits.

Standard response criteria for AL amyloidosis hematologic and organ response will be used.
Overall response rate will be measured and participants will be categorized into complete
response, very good partial response, partial response and progressive disease. Progression
free survival, organ response, and safety and tolerability of propylene glycol-free melphalan
hydrochloride will be assessed.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Age 18 years or older

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0-2

- Histologic diagnosis of primary systemic (AL) amyloidosis based on:

- Deposition of amyloid material by Congo red stain showing characteristic apple
green birefringence AND

or urine by immunofixation electrophoresis AND/OR abnormal serum free light chain
assay AND/OR clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow exam demonstrated by
immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, or in situ hybridization AND

- Evidence of organ involvement

institutional guidelines

is diagnosed with AL amyloidosis involving the gastrointestinal and
peripheral/autonomic nervous systems, then performance status of 3 is acceptable)
