YH32364 for locally advanced or metastatic EGFR‑overexpressing solid tumors
Official title: A Phase 1/2, Open-label, Multicenter, First-in-Human Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Anti-tumor Activity of YH32364 in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
Run by Yuhan Corporation · NCT06975410 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test whether YH32364 can help adults with advanced or metastatic cancers that overexpress EGFR when other treatments haven't worked.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors confirmed to overexpress EGFR (IHC 2+ or 3+), ECOG 0–1, measurable disease, life expectancy ≥3 months, and disease refractory or intolerant to available standard therapies are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without EGFR overexpression, with ECOG >1, who have effective standard treatment options still available, or who cannot attend frequent IV infusions and assessments are unlikely to benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
YH32364 is a bispecific antibody designed to both block EGFR signaling and activate the immune co‑stimulatory receptor 4‑1BB specifically in tumors to boost T cell responses while aiming to reduce liver toxicity seen with earlier 4‑1BB agonists. The study has a Phase 1 dose‑escalation part with up to six dose levels to identify safe doses, followed by a randomized Phase 2 part comparing two selected dose levels to confirm the recommended dose. Treatment is given by IV infusion every two weeks with regular on‑site assessments for safety and tumor measurements. Eligible adults have locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors confirmed to overexpress EGFR and have exhausted standard therapy options.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, YH32364 could shrink or slow growth of EGFR‑overexpressing tumors by blocking EGFR and enhancing anti‑tumor T cell activity while potentially avoiding prior liver side effects of 4‑1BB drugs.
How similar studies have gone: EGFR‑targeted drugs and 4‑1BB agonists have shown activity previously, but the EGFR/4‑1BB bispecific approach is novel with promising preclinical data and limited clinical proof to date.
