Open-Label, Multi-Center, Dose Escalation Phase 1/2 Study of Anti-GM2 Ganglioside Monoclonal Antibody BIW-8962 as Monotherapy in Subjects With Previously Treated Multiple Myeloma

BIW-8962 is a monoclonal antibody which targets the GM-2 ganglioside which is expressed at
high levels on the surface of multiple myeloma cells. This is a Phase 1/2 study design. The
Phase 1 component will establish the active biologic dose (ABD) or the maximum tolerated
dose (MTD) as well as the appropriate dosing frequency based on the pharmacokinetics of the
antibody and approximately 45 subjects will be enrolled in this part of the study. The
initial dosing frequency will be every two weeks and the doses to be tested will range from
0.03 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg. Once the recommended Phase 2 dose and frequency have been
established in Phase 1, the efficacy of the drug will be investigated in approximately 35
subjects in Phase 2.

The study did not proceed beyond the Phase 1a portion.

On 30 Nov 2010, Kyowa Hakko Kirin Pharma, Inc. (KKP) notified Investigators of the decision
to terminate BIW-8962-001 due to a lack of efficacy in Multiple Myeloma.

The Phase 1 Part B and the Phase 2 components of the study were not conducted. The study
was terminated and summarized in an abbreviated clinical study report (submitted 26 June
2012; SN045). Kyowa Kirin Pharma has no current plans to pursue the use of BIW8962 in
multiple myeloma.
