Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 75 with confirmed advanced or metastatic solid tumors that are refractory to standard treatments.

Probably not a fit

Patients with solid tumors that have effective standard treatment options may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This is an open-label, first-in-human phase I clinical study designed to assess the safety and tolerability of HLX42 in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study employs a 3 + 3 dose escalation method, where participants will receive escalating doses of HLX42 via intravenous infusion. The observation period for dose-limiting toxicities lasts for three weeks following the initial administration of the drug.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have limited or no effective standard therapies.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in the context of HLX42, similar studies evaluating new treatments for advanced solid tumors have shown promise in the past.
