A Phase I Clinical Trial of Y150 in the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, PK/PD and Immunogenicity Characteristics of Recombinant Anti-CD38 and Anti-CD3 Bispecific Antibodies (Y150) for Injection in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The main purpose of this Phase I study is to access the safety and tolerability of Y150 at different dose levels. It is hoped to find out the recommended dose for Phase II/III.

This is a Phase I, open-label，dose-escalation trial in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. There are two parts of the study: a dose-escalation part and a dose-expansion part. Dose escalation follows an accelerated design initially with 2 single subject cohorts (Cohorts 1-2) and switches to a classical 3+3 design (Cohorts 3-7). Dose-expansion means that at least 9 subjects (included subjects of the dose-escalation part) will be selected in 1 - 3 dose levels to focus on the pharmacokinetics (PK) / pharmacodynamic (PD) features and recommended dose for Phase II (RP2D). Additional purpose of the study is to find out whether the study drug has anti-tumor effects.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female ≥ 18 years.

2. Subject has a history of multiple myeloma with relapsed and refractory disease, and must have received at least 2 prior multiple myeloma treatment regimens (including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent), or can not tolerate the toxicity of PIs and IMIDS; or have drug resistance to one and toxic intolerance to the other.

   1. Relapsed multiple myeloma is defined as IMWG criteria in 2016, including clinical relapse or relapse after CR.
