SYS6041: a first-in-human test in adults with advanced solid tumors

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-label, Dose-escalation and Dose-expansion Phase I/IIa Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic Profile and Antitumor Activity of SYS6041 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Run by CSPC Megalith Biopharmaceutical Co.,Ltd. · NCT07744763 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This first-in-human trial tests SYS6041 in adults with advanced solid tumors to see if it is safe, how it behaves in the body, and whether it shows any signs of shrinking tumors.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with ECOG 0–1, measurable FRα-positive advanced solid tumors (including ovarian, endometrial, NSCLC, or breast cancers) with progression after standard therapy, and adequate organ function.

Probably not a fit

Patients without FRα-positive tumors or those without measurable disease or who discontinue due to toxicity or progression may not benefit.

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

What this trial studies

This is a multi-center, open-label Phase I/IIa study of SYS6041 in adults with advanced solid tumors. The study uses a dose-escalation approach to identify safe dose levels, followed by a dose-reassignment, dose-expansion, and cohort-expansion to further assess safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity. Treatment cycles are 3 weeks long, with DLT observation during the first cycle and ongoing safety and efficacy assessments across stages. Eligible participants include FRα-positive tumors with measurable disease and progression after standard therapy, with availability of tumor tissue for testing. The trial is conducted under CSPC Megalith Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at a site in Shanghai, China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, SYS6041 could provide anti-tumor activity with an acceptable safety profile for patients with FRα-positive advanced solid tumors.

How similar studies have gone: FRα-targeted approaches have shown signals in solid tumors, but first-in-human SYS6041 results will determine feasibility and activity in this setting.
