Conditions

Advanced Solid Tumor

Brief summary

This is an open-label, multicenter Phase I study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic characteristics, and preliminary antitumor activity of JH021 injection in patients with advanced solid tumors. JH021 is a bispecific monoclonal antibody targeting EGFR and cMET. The study will assess JH021 in patients with advanced solid tumors for whom standard therapy is unavailable, intolerable, or no longer effective, and will provide data to support further clinical development.

Continuous systemic treatment with corticosteroids at a dose \>10 mg/day prednisone equivalent or other immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days before first dose or during the study. Exceptions: inhaled or topical corticosteroids at \<=10 mg/day prednisone equivalent in the absence of active autoimmune disease; short-term corticosteroids \>10 mg/day prednisone equivalent for prophylaxis (e.g., contrast allergy) or treatment of non-autoimmune conditions (e.g., delayed hypersensitivity reaction after allergen exposure). 5. Major surgery or radical radiotherapy within 4 weeks before first dose; palliative radiotherapy within 2 weeks before first dose; or therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals (e.g., strontium, samarium) within 8 weeks before first dose. 6. Active infection requiring systemic treatment within 2 weeks before first dose, including active tuberculosis or pneumonia of any grade. 7. Known interstitial lung disease. 8.
