A Phase I Study to Assess the Tolerability of 225Ac-DOTATATE in Patients with Refractory and Relapsing Multiple Myeloma Expressing Somatostatin Receptors

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.


Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

2. Age of at least 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent
3. Confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma according to the Salmon and Durie criteria

5. Must have progressed on their last line of myeloma therapy
6. Biologically active (relapsing or refractory) and measurable disease as defined by at least one of the following:

   * Serum M-protein ≥ 0.5 g/dL by serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) or, for immunoglobulin (Ig) A myeloma, by quantitative IgA

    * Total bilirubin ≤3 × ULN
    * Serum albumin ≥3.0 g/dL
14. Adequate coagulation function, defined by international normalized ratio or prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.5 × ULN, unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy and PT or aPTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
15. For women of childbearing potential (WOCBP):

    * Negative serum pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to the first dose of study treatment
    * Agreement to use barrier contraception and a second form of highly effective contraception (Clinical Trials Facilitation Group (CTFG) 2020) while receiving study treatment and for 7 months following their last dose of study treatment
16. Sexually active male subjects must use a condom during intercourse while receiving study treatment and for at least 120 days after the last dose of the study drug and should not father a child during this period

    * Male study subjects whose sexual partners are WOCBP must also agree to use a second form of highly effective contraception (CTFG 2020) while receiving study treatment and for at least 4 months following their last dose
    * Vasectomized men are also required to use a condom during intercourse, including with a male partner

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Massive bone marrow infiltration on the baseline 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan
2. History of hypersensitivity or allergy to 225Ac, 68Ga, octreotate, or any of the excipients of DOTATATE imaging agents
3. Use of anticancer agents within the following intervals prior to the first dose of study drug:

   * Chemotherapy: within \<6 weeks
   * Small molecule inhibitors: within \<4 weeks
   * Biological agents: within \<7 days or \<5 half-lives
4. Prior external beam radiotherapy on more than 25% of bone marrow
5. Prior participation in any interventional clinical study within 30 days prior to first dose of study drug
6. Have a history of primary malignancy within the past 3 years other than (1) MM; (2) adequately treated carcinoma in situ or non-melanoma carcinoma of the skin; (3) any other curatively treated malignancy that is not expected to require treatment for recurrence during participation in the study, or (4) an untreated cancer on active surveillance that may not affect the subject's survival status for ≥3 years based on clinician assessment/statement
7. Any toxicities from prior treatments that have not recovered to CTCAE Grade ≤1 at baseline, except for alopecia
8. Significant cardiovascular disease, defined as:
