Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with histologically confirmed advanced solid tumors, ECOG 0–1, measurable disease by RECIST v1.1, able to provide tumor tissue, and with adequate organ function are eligible.

Probably not a fit

Patients with only brain lesions as target lesions, ECOG ≥2, very limited life expectancy, or who cannot provide required tissue samples are unlikely to benefit from this trial.

What this trial studies

This is an open-label, multicenter Phase 1b study that gives HC006 together with a PD-1 inhibitor to adults with advanced solid tumors. The trial has a dose-escalation stage to find a recommended dose followed by dose-expansion cohorts in selected tumor types. Primary objectives include safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity, with secondary measures of preliminary anti-tumor activity. HC006 is an anti-CCR8 antibody intended to deplete CCR8-positive regulatory T cells and potentially boost PD-1 inhibitor effects.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, adding HC006 could boost the immune response against tumors and improve outcomes for patients who do not fully respond to PD-1 inhibitors.

How similar studies have gone: Targeting CCR8 to deplete tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells is a relatively new approach with encouraging preclinical data and limited early clinical signals of synergy with PD-1 blockade but no definitive clinical proof yet.

2. Advanced solid tumors diagnosed by histology or cytopathology;
3. Be able to provide archived (within 2 years after the first treatment with study drug) or fresh tumor tissue samples for relevant biological sample analysis required by the protocol;
4. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST Version 1.1 (patients with only brain lesion as target lesion are not accepted);

7. Adequate organ and bone marrow function
8. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative blood pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose of investigational product and be non-lactating; Eligible patients of childbearing potential (male and female) must agree to use a reliable method of contraception (hormonal or barrier method or abstinence) with their partner for at least 6 months from signing informed consent until after the last dose of study drug. Women of non-childbearing potential may not undergo pregnancy test and contraception (postmenopausal for at least 1 year or surgically sterilized).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with imaging findings showing tumor invasion of great vessels or unclear demarcation from blood vessels;
2. Patients with combined brain metastasis, meningeal metastasis, spinal cord compression or leptomeningeal disease;
3. Previous treatment with monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, small molecule compounds and cells targeting CCR8 at any time;
4. Conditions may significantly affect the autoimmune status;
5. Patients with serious, uncontrolled and unrecoverable acute and chronic diseases:
6. Subjects with other malignant tumors within 5 years prior to the first dose of the investigational drug ;
7. Subjects who have undergone major organ surgery (excluding aspiration biopsy) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, or have experienced significant trauma, or require elective surgery during the trial;
