Multiple Myeloma Myeloma Myeloma Multiple | Drug: KTX-1001 | Phase 1 |
This is a Phase I, open-label, dose escalation and expansion study in adult patients with RRMM.
In the dose escalation phase (Part A), patients will be evaluated for DLTs during Cycle 1 (28 days). The KTX-1001 MTD, RP2D, and schedule will be determined.
In the dose expansion phase (Part B), patients with translocation t(4;14) or a GOF mutation in MMSET (eg, E1099K) will be enrolled. Patients will receive KTX-1001 at the RP2D to further define safety and tolerability and provide preliminary efficacy information.
