Recruiting PHASE1 Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

New treatment option for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Official title A Study of YKST02 in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06574568

What this study is testing

What is YKST02?

YKST02 is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Also referred to as YKST02 for Injection.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This study aims to provide a basis for further clinical development of YKST02. YKST02 is a study medicine that targets multiple myeloma and activates the human body to fight against this disease.
