CAN016 first-in-human study in advanced solid tumors
Official title: A Phase I/II, Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Multi-Centre First-in-Human Study of CAN016 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
Run by Canwell Biotech Limited · NCT07664150 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests CAN016 in adults with advanced solid tumors that express HER2 or have HER2 mutations to see if the treatment is safe and may help in a phase II setting.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent/metastatic HER2-expressing or HER2-mutant advanced solid tumors that have progressed on or are intolerant to standard therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without HER2 expression or mutation, or those whose disease does not respond to CAN016, may not benefit from the treatment.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase I/II, open-label, non-randomized, multi-center first-in-human study of CAN016 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Phase I uses accelerated titration and 3+3 dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended phase 2 dose. Phase II will enroll roughly 20–60 patients to evaluate efficacy in HER2-expressing or HER2-mutant tumors once the RP2D is established. Eligible participants are adults with confirmed recurrent or metastatic HER2-positive or HER2-mutant solid tumors who have progressed on or are intolerant to prior therapies, with at least one measurable lesion by RECIST. The study is conducted at a single center in Beijing, under Canwell Biotech Limited as sponsor.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience tumor response or disease stabilization and clearer guidance on an effective dose for future studies.
How similar studies have gone: Past first-in-human studies of HER2-targeted agents have shown variable but potential responses in selected patients; this study explores a novel approach in a defined HER2-altered population.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Provide informed consent voluntarily 2. Male or female patients ≥18 years of age. 3. Patients must have a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of recurrent or metastatic HER2 expression or mutation advanced solid tumor that has failed to or intolerable with standard treatment. 1. For Phase I dose escalation, patients must have had progression of disease on an HER2 targeted ADC and should be refractory to or intolerant of exiting therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit for their condition; 2. For Phase II, patients with advanced/unresectable or metastatic HER2 positive (IHC 3+, 2+/ISH+) breast cancer, HER2 low/ultralow expression (IHC 1+, 2+/ISH-, IHC 0 with membrane staining) breast cancer and other HER2 expression or mutation advanced solid tumors are eligible. Patients must have had progression of disease on prior HER2 targeted ADC. 4. At least one measurable lesion as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. 5. Adequate organ function with 7 days before registration 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1. 7. LVEF ≥50% by either echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) within 28 days before registration. 8. Life expectancy of ≥3 months. Exclusion Criteria 1. Patient has received any anticancer therapy (including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormonal therapy, biotherapy, immunotherapy, or other investigational agents.) within 28 days or 5 times of half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of the study treatment or who have not recovered from the side effect of such therapy. 2. Radical radiation therapy (including radiation therapy for over 25% bone marrow) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational product or received local palliative radiation therapy for bone metastases within 2 weeks. 3. Patients have autologous transplantation within 3 months. 4. Major surgery or had significant traumatic injury within 60 days prior to the first dose of the investigational product or has not recovered from major side effects. 5. Multiple primary malignancies within 5 years, except adequately resected non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in-situ disease. 6. Any toxicities from prior treatment that have not recovered to baseline or ≤CTCAE Grade 1 before the start of study treatment, with exception of hair loss.
