Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–75 with advanced malignancies, good performance status (ECOG 0–1), adequate liver function, measurable disease, and available tumor tissue or consent to use archived samples.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with poor liver function, poor performance status, absence of measurable disease, or progression despite other therapies may not benefit from this treatment.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1 interventional study evaluating TQB6426, an antibody-drug conjugate aimed at Glypican-3 (GPC3) expressed in various solid tumors. Eligible adults (18–75) with good performance status and measurable disease will receive the injection formulation of TQB6426. The study will monitor safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity to establish a recommended dose for further testing. Participants must provide tumor tissue or consent to use archival samples and meet specific liver and overall health criteria. Trial sites are located at three hospitals in China, led by Shanghai Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Technology Development Co., Ltd.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience tumor stabilization or reduction and contribute to determining a potentially new treatment option for advanced cancers.
How similar studies have gone: Glypican-3 targeting ADCs are under investigation in several early-phase studies, with some preclinical promise but clinical efficacy data are still preliminary.
