Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to existing treatments.

Probably not a fit

Patients with uncontrolled cardiovascular or pulmonary diseases 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 multicenter, open-label Phase 1 study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of YL211 in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study is divided into three parts: the first part focuses on dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose (RED), the second part involves backfill enrollment to further evaluate safety and efficacy, and the third part is a dose-expansion phase to confirm findings at the MTD/RED. YL211 will be administered intravenously until treatment discontinuation criteria are met.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have exhausted standard therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar investigational therapies, but this specific approach is novel.

Exclusion Criteria:

2. Previously received an ADC consisting of a TopoI
3. Received continuous systemic steroids therapy for more than 28 days or require long-term (≥ 28 days) use of systemic steroids therapy within 28 days before the first administration, or have other acquired or congenital immune deficiency diseases. (Note: The protocol lists specific situational exceptions immediately following this clause).
4. A history of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis or carcinomatous meningitis
5. Brain metastasis, except for the following situations:

   Participants with asymptomatic brain metastasis who do not require immediate local or systemic treatment (such as mannitol or steroids, surgery, or radiotherapy) are allowed to be enrolled If the participant's brain metastasis is treated and the condition of the metastasis is stable (brain imaging examination at least 2 weeks before the first administration shows that the lesion is stable, there is no evidence of new or original brain metastasis enlargement, there are no new neurological symptoms, and immediate local or systemic treatment is not required), admission is allowed
6. Clinically significant concomitant pulmonary disease, including but not limited to:

A history of drug-induced pneumonitis A history of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis that requires steroids, current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening
