Dual-target CAR T therapy (CD19 and BCMA) for relapsed or refractory AL (light-chain) amyloidosis
A Phase 1b/2 Study of AZD0120 (Also Known as GC012F), a Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy Targeting CD19 and B Cell Maturation Antigen in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory AL Amyloidosis.
This trial will try AZD0120, a CAR T cell therapy that targets CD19 and BCMA, to see if it is safe and helps people with relapsed or refractory AL (light-chain) amyloidosis.

What this trial studies
This open-label Phase 1b/2 trial tests AZD0120, a CAR T product engineered to target both CD19 and BCMA, in adults with relapsed or refractory AL (light-chain) amyloidosis. Phase 1b focuses on dose-finding and safety/tolerability while Phase 2 expands evaluation of hematologic and organ responses. Eligible participants must have biopsy-confirmed AL amyloidosis with measurable disease (dFLC >20 mg/L or serum M-protein >5 g/L), prior anti-plasma cell therapy, and ECOG 0–1, while patients with advanced cardiac disease (Mayo Stage IIIb) or significant cardiopulmonary compromise are excluded. The trial is sponsored by Alexion and run at selected US sites, with on-site procedures including leukapheresis, conditioning, infusion, and close post-infusion monitoring.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with biopsy-confirmed AL amyloidosis who have measurable disease (dFLC >20 mg/L or serum M-protein >5 g/L), have relapsed or are refractory after at least one line of anti-plasma cell therapy, and have ECOG performance status 0–1.
Not a fit: Patients with non‑AL forms of amyloidosis, advanced cardiac involvement (Mayo Stage IIIb), low oxygenation or blood pressure, or poor overall cardiopulmonary status are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from this therapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, AZD0120 could produce deeper hematologic remissions and meaningful organ responses for people with relapsed or refractory AL amyloidosis.
How similar studies have performed: CAR T therapies targeting BCMA (and in some cases CD19) have shown promising hematologic responses in plasma-cell disorders such as multiple myeloma, and early small studies in AL amyloidosis have reported encouraging but preliminary results.
