This phase II trial tests how well dapagliflozin works in reducing protein leakage in the urine of patients with kidney amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis. Amyloidoses are a group of diseases where abnormal proteins build up outside cells. One specific type, AL amyloidosis, is when proteins known as immunoglobulin light chains gather in various body organs, especially in kidneys. When this happens, it can cause kidney problems. One of the signs this is occurring is by finding protein in the urine. The more protein in the urine, the greater the risk of severe kidney issues. Dapagliflozin belongs to a class of drugs known as sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and is primarily used as treatment for diabetes. Dapagliflozin has been proven to reduce protein leakage in urine and protect the kidneys of individuals with chronic kidney disease, whether they have diabetes or not. Dapagliflozin may reduce protein loss in the urine and slow the decline in kidney function in patients with kidney AL amyloidosis.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the efficacy of dapagliflozin in reducing proteinuria in patients with renal AL amyloidosis.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Assess the feasibility of implementing the decentralized clinical trial (DCT) approach in terms of protocol adherence and patient satisfaction.
SAFETY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of dapagliflozin in renal AL amyloidosis patients.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess for cardiac and renal deterioration (due to amyloidosis or otherwise) over the course of the trial.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive dapagliflozin orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo collection of blood samples throughout the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients/participants are followed up at 1, 3, and 6 months.
