GroupInterventionDescription
YK012YK012Drug: YK012 Patients will be administered with YK012 by intravenous infusion every two weeks (Q2W, 4 weeks in a treatment cycle). Treatment will be continued until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, patient being lost to follow-up, death or up to 6 cycles, whichever occurs first.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of subjects with adverse events (AEs) and/or serious adverse events (SAEs)From the first infusion of YK012 until 28 Days after end of treatment

An AE is defined as any untoward medical event that occurs after a subject receives the investigational drug, which may be manifested as symptoms, signs, diseases, or laboratory abnormalities, but may not necessarily have a causal relationship with the investigational drug.

An SAE refers to an untoward medical occurrence such as death, life-threatening event, permanent or serious disability or loss of function, need for hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization after the subject receives the investigational drug, and congenital abnormalities or birth defects.

The incidence and profile of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)28 days after the first dose

The toxicities occurring within 28 days (i.e., DLT observation period) after the first dose will be defined as DLTs in the discretion of the investigator as possibly, probably, or definitely related to the IMP (Investigational Medicinal Product).

The maximum tolerated dose and/or the recommended dose for further clinical trial28 days after the first dose

The MTD will be determined based on the occurrence rate of the DLT. The MTD is defined as the highest dose in which 1/6 or less subjects experience a DLT.

Assess the Cmax after treatment with YK012

Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) after administration12 weeks

Anti-lymphoma activity by progression-free survival (PFS)24 weeks

Assess the progression-free survival (PFS) after treatment with YK012

Terminal elimination half-life (T1/2) after administration12 weeks

Assess the terminal elimination half-life (T1/2) after treatment with YK012

Percentage of participants with anti-drug antibodies (ADA)24 weeks

Assess the percentage of participants with ADA after treatment with YK012

Number of B cells and T cells in peripheral blood after administration12 weeks

Assess the number of B cells and T cells in peripheral blood after treatment with YK012

Level of cytokines in peripheral blood after administration12 weeks

The activation of immune effector cells was monitored by the measurement of peripheral blood cytokine levels including interferon gamma (IFN-ɣ), interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) .

Duration of response (DOR)24 weeks
