a phase i study to assess the tolerability of 225ac-dotatate in patients with refractory and relapsing multiple myeloma expressing somatostatin receptors

Conditions: Multiple Myeloma, Refractory; Multiple Myeloma in Relapse; Multiple Myeloma Progression

Summary: this study aims to determine the safety and the recommended phase ii dose of ryz101 (actinium-225 labelled dota-octreotate (225ac-dotatate)) in participants with refractory and relapsing multiple myeloma (mm) that have received at least 3 prior lines of myeloma therapy. participants will be selected based on somatostatin receptor (sstr) positivity assessed by gallium-68 labelled dota-octreotate (68ga-dotatate) pet/ct. the response to 225ac-dotatate therapy will also be assessed in the target study population.
