Testing ZL-6201 for safety and early activity in sarcoma and other solid tumors
Official title: An Open-label, Phase 1a/b, Multicenter Study of ZL-6201 to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Efficacy in Participants With Sarcoma and Selected Solid Tumors
Run by Zai Lab (Hong Kong), Ltd. · NCT07374848 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will see if the antibody-drug conjugate ZL-6201 is safe and shows early anti-cancer activity in adults with sarcoma or certain other advanced solid tumors.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic sarcoma or selected epithelial solid tumors, ECOG 0–1, at least one measurable lesion, limited prior systemic therapy (≤2 lines for sarcoma; ≤3 for other selected tumors), and willing to provide tumor tissue are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with poor performance status, significant organ dysfunction, active HIV/HBV/HCV infection, or those who have received more prior lines of therapy than allowed are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit.

What this trial studies
This open-label, multicenter Phase 1a/b study gives escalating doses of ZL-6201 to adults with unresectable or metastatic sarcoma and selected solid tumors to characterize safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and initial anti-tumor activity. Participants must have measurable disease, ECOG performance status 0–1, adequate organ and marrow function, be negative for HIV/HBV/HCV, and provide a tumor biopsy or archival tissue. The design includes dose-escalation followed by expansion cohorts in selected tumor types, with regular imaging per RECIST v1.1 and scheduled PK sampling. Safety events, lab results, and tumor responses will be tracked to establish a recommended dose for future studies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, ZL-6201 could provide a new targeted treatment option that shrinks tumors or slows progression in some patients with LRRC15-expressing sarcomas and related solid tumors.
How similar studies have gone: Other early-phase antibody-drug conjugates targeting LRRC15 have shown initial signals of activity in sarcoma in Phase 1 trials, but the approach remains experimental and not yet proven.
