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

This study will test the ability of a specially designed monoclonal antibody to destroy
multiple myeloma cells. This antibody is unique in its ability to promote the death of
multiple myeloma cells by processes known as antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity
(ADCC)and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). The study is designed to determine both
the optimal dose of the antibody to destroy multiple myeloma cells and frequency of dosing.

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Relapsed or refractory myeloma

- M-protein in serum and/or urine by IMWG criteria.

- Subjects without detectable M protein are eligible if they have an abnormal serum
free light chain ratio (FLC) or if they have at least 10% plasma cells in the bone
marrow

Exclusion Criteria:

- Ongoing infection

- Cardiac disease

- Uncontrolled hypertension

- Active liver disease
