About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Hematological Malignancies
Eligibility Criteria

- Willing and able to provide written consent.
- Willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
- Hematocytological or pathological diagnosis of MM, MCL, DLBCL, ATL, indolent lymphoma, such as FL and CLL/SLL, etc.

*Definition of ALL FDA approved therapies are specified as below:
Prior treatments for MM subjects:
- Received at least 3 prior anti-myeloma regimens including at least 2 consecutive cycles of lenalidomide, pomalidomide, a proteasome inhibitor, a glucocorticoid and an anti-CD38 antibody (induction with or without a bone marrow transplant with or without maintenance therapy is considered one regimen).

Prior treatments for NHL subjects:
- ATL: at least 2 prior lines of therapy containing alkylator-based chemotherapy.
- MCL: at least 2 prior lines of therapy, including CD20 antibody and alkylator chemotherapy, and a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor.
- DLBCL: at least 2 prior lines of therapy, including prior CD20 antibody therapy, and has received prior autologous bone marrow transplant (or is ineligible for bone marrow transplant).
- FL: at least 2 prior lines of therapy, including CD20 antibody therapy and alkylator chemotherapy.
- CLL/SLL: at least 2 prior lines of therapy for CLL/SLL and require treatment by 2018 iwCLL criteria.
- Other indolent NHL: Subjects must have been treated with all standard of care therapies available to the subject which, in the assessment of the investigator, may be beneficial to the subject.
Have measurable or assessable disease.
For MM:
- M-protein quantities ≥ 0.5 g/dL by serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP or SIFE) or
- M-protein quantities ≥ 200 mg/24-hour urine collection by urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP or UIFE) or
- Serum free light chain (FLC) levels > 100 mg/L involved light chain and an abnormal kappa/lambda (κ/λ) ratio in subjects without detectable serum or urine M-protein or
- For subjects with immunoglobulin (Ig) class A (IgA) myeloma whose disease can only be reliably measured by quantitative Ig measurement, a serum IgA level ≥ 0.50 g/dL.
For MCL, DLBCL, ATL, indolent lymphoma, such as FL and CLL/SLL, etc.:
• At least 1 bidimensionally measurable lesion larger than 1.5 cm in largest dimension by computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography CT (PET-CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
Meet following laboratory requirements:
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.0 × 109/L (Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor [G-CSF] or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF] allowed if received within 2 weeks prior to screening parameter).
- Hemoglobin > 7.5 g/dL (red blood cell [RBC] transfusion is allowed to meet eligibility if performed more than 7 days prior to screening parameter).
- Platelet count > 75 000/μL (platelet transfusions are allowed if received more than 2 weeks prior to screening parameter)
- Corrected serum calcium ≤ 13.5 mg/dL (≤ 3.4 mmol/L).
- AST and/or ALT < 2.5 × ULN or < 5.0 × ULN if liver tumor is present.
- Total serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN.
- Estimated serum creatinine clearance of > 60 mL/min that does not require dialysis; estimated serum creatinine clearance between 50-60 mL/min may be enrolled for KPG-818 dose ≤ 10mg/day. For subjects with serum creatinine clearance between 50-60 mL/min at screening, serum creatinine clearance levels should be monitored during the study.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2. In case of ECOG 2, the Investigator can discuss with Sponsor before making eligibility decision.
- Males and females of childbearing potential must agree to use at least two methods of contraception, as detailed in Section 6.1.3, during the study treatment and continue until 3 months after the completion of study treatment.
4.2. Exclusion Criteria
Subjects will be excluded from the study if they satisfy any of the following criteria at the Screening visit unless otherwise stated:
- Has any significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from participating in the study.
- Currently enrolled in another clinical study, except observational studies.
- Has known active central nervous system metastases and/or lymphomatous meningitis.
- Persisting toxicities related to prior anticancer treatment > Grade 1 according to NCI CTCAE v5.0.
- Major surgery or significant traumatic injury within 6 weeks prior to Screening or planned major surgery during the study period.
- Received live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks of first dose.
- Subjects with gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of the study drug.
- Subjects with a plasma cell leukemia.
Subjects with prior history of malignancies, other than MM, lymphoma, or CLL/SLL, unless the subject has been free of the disease for ≥ 5 years with the exception of the following noninvasive malignancies:
- Basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
- Carcinoma in situ.
- Incidental histological findings of prostate cancer such as T1a or T1b using the tumor/node/metastasis classification of malignant tumors or prostate cancer that is curative.

- Plasmapheresis
- Radiation therapy other than local therapy for MM associated bone lesions
