Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults (≥18) with histologically confirmed locally recurrent or metastatic malignant solid tumors, ECOG 0–1, adequate organ function, at least one measurable lesion, and who have progressed on or lack standard treatments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with poor performance status (ECOG ≥2), life expectancy under 12 weeks, active pregnancy or breastfeeding, uncontrolled organ dysfunction, or effective standard treatment options available are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies
This multicenter, open-label Phase 1 trial uses a dose-escalation stage followed by dose-expansion cohorts to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of QLS-1304 monotherapy in adults with locally recurrent or metastatic malignant solid tumors. Eligible participants must have histologically confirmed disease, ECOG 0–1, at least one measurable lesion by RECIST v1.1, and adequate organ function. The dose-escalation portion will identify dose-limiting toxicities and a recommended dose, while expansion cohorts will explore early anti-tumor activity and further safety signals. Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and all participants must agree to effective contraception during treatment and for 180 days after the last dose.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, QLS-1304 could offer a new oral treatment option that slows disease progression for some patients with advanced solid tumors who have no standard therapies left.
How similar studies have gone: Dose-escalation and expansion Phase 1 designs are standard for first-in-human oncology drugs; similar early-phase programs of novel anticancer agents have occasionally shown promising activity but many do not translate into later-stage success.
