Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18 or older with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, measurable disease, ECOG performance status 0–1, adequate organ function, prior failure of standard therapies, and available tumor tissue are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with symptomatic central nervous system metastases, recent active second primary malignancies, poor performance status, or inadequate organ function are unlikely to benefit or be eligible for this trial.

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

What this trial studies

This open-label, multicenter Phase I trial gives escalating doses of SIM0609 to adults with histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors to define safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics and to look for early signs of antitumor activity. After dose escalation, predefined dose-expansion cohorts will enroll patients with colorectal cancer, gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and other selected solid tumors. Key eligibility includes measurable disease, ECOG 0–1, adequate organ and marrow function, and available tumor tissue for biomarker analysis. Primary endpoints focus on safety and tolerability with secondary endpoints including pharmacokinetics and preliminary tumor response.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, SIM0609 could offer a new treatment option that controls tumor growth for some patients whose cancers no longer respond to standard therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Early-phase trials of novel targeted agents have sometimes produced tumor shrinkage in selected patients but many candidates do not show durable benefit, so this approach remains exploratory.

2. Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases or CNS metastases requiring CNS-directed local therapy or corticosteroid treatment that occurred within 2 weeks prior to the first administration of the investigational treatment;
3. Has a history of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis that required steroids, current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging screening;
4. Presence of any serious or unstable concomitant systemic disorder incompatible with the clinical study ;
5. Any active infections requiring systemic therapy within 2 weeks prior to the initiation of the study treatment;
6. Uncontrollable pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring drainage or medical intervention within 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment;
7. Not recovered from previous anticancer therapy-induced AEs(Adverse Events);
8. Currently participating or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or using an investigational device within 4 weeks of first dose of study treatment;
9. Received prior therapies within the following time frames prior to the first dose of study treatment:

   1. Previous cytotoxic therapy, anticancer targeted small molecules within 2 weeks.
   2. Anti-cancer antibody, immune checkpoint inhibitor or ADC within 5 half-lives or 4 weeks (whichever is shorter).
   3. Chinese medicines/herbal preparations with anticancer indication taken within 2 weeks.
   4. Radiation therapy within 4 weeks.
10. Prior exposure to topoisomerase I inhibitor (TOP1i)-based antibody drug conjugate (ADC) therapies or CDH17-targeted ADC therapies.
11. Use of any live vaccine therapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.
12. Administration of below medications ≤14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.

    1. Strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers/inhibitors;
    2. Drugs with known risk of Torsades de Pointes(TdP);
    3. Drugs that may prolong the QT interval;
13. Major surgery within 2 weeks of receiving the first dose of study treatment;
14. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome ;
15. Active or chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection;
16. Participants with clinically significant cardiovascular diseases;
17. History of allogeneic organ transplantation or graft-versus-host disease;
18. History of hypersensitivity to active or inactive excipients of SIM0609 or drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to SIM0609;
19. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women;
20. Male participants with female partners of reproductive potential, unless they are using highly effective contraceptive methods from signing of informed consent to 180 days after the last dose of study treatment;
21. Presence of any other condition that may increase the risk associate with study participant or may interfere with the interpretation of study results, and, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into the study.
