Exploratory Study of IMM01 for Injection in the Treatment of Refractory or Recurrent Hematologic Malignancy

A Phase 1 Clinical Study to Evaluate IMM01 Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Anti-tumor Activity in Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Hematologic Malignancy

This is a multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation and cohort-expansion phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics profile, efficacy and immunogenicity of IMM01 in subjects with refractory or recurrent hematologic malignancy.

IMM01 is administered via intravenous infusion once week of cycle 1- 12 (4 weeks per cycle).

The accelerated titration method and the traditional "3+3" method will be adopted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) in dose-escalation phase.

Once the RP2D is determined, will explore for Classic Hodgkin's lymphoma, B-cell lymphoma,NK/T-cell lymphoma, AML, MDS and MM cohorts.

4. There is at least one measurable or evaluable tumor lesion (preferentially enrolled the measurable lesions), measurable lesions: lymph nodes with longest diameterof ≥15 mm, metastatic lesions (≥10 mm) at other sites; lesions previously treated with local therapy such as radiotherapy are considered measurable lesions if disease progression has been demonstrated;
