Brief Summary
This study aims to provide a basis for further clinical development of YKST02. YKST02 is a study medicine that targets multiple myeloma and activates the human body to fight against this disease.

Active central nervous system (CNS) involvement or exhibition of clinical signs of meningeal involvement of multiple myeloma, or other evidence of uncontrolled metastases to the CNS or meninges, judged by the investigator. 6. (a) History of or current relevant CNS pathology as epilepsy, seizure, paresis, aphasia, apoplexia, severe brain injuries, cerebellar disease, organic brain syndrome, psychosis; (b) Evidence for presence of inflammatory lesions and/or vasculitis on cerebral MRI. 7. History or evidence of cardiovascular disease, including: 1. Acute coronary syndromes (eg, myocardial infarction, unstable angina) within 6 months prior to enrollment; 2. Coronary angioplasty or stenting within 6 months prior to enrollment; 3. Clinically significant unstable arrhythmias (eg, atrial fibrillation), however, atrial fibrillation has been controlled for over 30 days prior to the first dose of YKST02 were allowed; 4. New York Heart Association (NYHA) stage III or higher congestive heart failure within 6 months prior to enrollment; Cardiac valve morphological abnormalities recorded by ECHO (≥ grade 2), note that grade 1 cardiac valve morphological abnormalities (such as mild regurgitation/stenosis) were allowed, but participants with moderate valve thickening were excluded; 5.
