YN003 injection in glioma patients

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Single-Arm, Dose-Escalation and Dose-Expansion Study of YN003 Injection in Patients With Glioma

Run by Beijing Inno Medicine Co., Ltd. · NCT07929909 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This phase 1 study tests whether YN003 injected IV is safe and tolerable for adults with recurrent or progressive glioma, and to explore how the drug behaves in the body and any early signs of activity.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18 to 70 with histologically confirmed recurrent or progressive glioma (including glioblastoma), adequate organ function, measurable disease, and suitable performance status.

Probably not a fit

Participants whose tumors do not respond to YN003 or who experience intolerable toxicity may not benefit from this therapy.

What this trial studies

This is an open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation and dose-expansion phase 1 trial of YN003 Injection for adults with recurrent or progressive glioma, including glioblastoma. Part A uses a Bayesian design to find the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase 2 dose with a 28-day evaluation period for dose-limiting toxicities. Part B expands at the RP2D to further assess safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy. YN003 is a liposome-based formulation intended to deliver the active drug more directly to glioma tissue. The study will enroll patients in the United States and China across multiple sites.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience disease stabilization or insights into the drug’s activity and safety that could guide future development.

How similar studies have gone: Phase 1 studies of liposome-delivered agents in glioma have shown tolerability and signals of activity in some cases, but results are early and exploratory for YN003.
