Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase II clinical study investigates the efficacy and safety of a combination therapy using BL-B01D1 and PD-1 monoclonal antibodies in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, as well as other solid tumors. Participants must be aged between 18 and 75 years and have a confirmed diagnosis of the targeted conditions. The study aims to evaluate the treatment's effectiveness based on measurable lesions and specific eligibility criteria, including prior treatment toxicity levels and organ function.
