Official title: An Open-label, Single-center Study to Evaluate the Dose Escalation and Cohort Expansion of YSCH-01 in Subjects With Pulmonary Metastasis of Advanced Solid Tumors and Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer by Nebulized Inhalation Administration

Run by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences · NCT07793500 · Data updated 2026-11-12

A first-in-human, early-phase study tests a nebulized therapy called YSCH-01 to see if it is safe and shows any signs of benefit for adults with NSCLC or other cancers that have spread to the lungs.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with NSCLC or advanced solid tumors with lung metastases who have failed or are ineligible for standard therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients who cannot tolerate inhaled therapy or who do not experience any tolerable safety profile may not see 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 an open-label, dose-escalation and cohort-expansion study using inhaled YSCH-01 for patients with pulmonary metastases from advanced tumors, including NSCLC. The trial uses a 3+3 design to identify the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose, with two initial dose levels. After determining the dose, a cohort-expansion phase will further assess safety and preliminary efficacy across up to three cohorts. Subjects will receive the assigned dose via nebulization with a planned 21-day observation for dose-limiting toxicities, followed by ongoing dosing or discontinuation based on benefit and safety. The study aims to characterize safety and early signals of efficacy in this patient population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience disease control signals and receive a potentially active inhaled therapy for lung metastases.

How similar studies have gone: Previous early-phase inhaled therapies have shown safety signals in lung cancers, but this approach with YSCH-01 is novel in this setting.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects are able to understand and comply with protocol requirements, in the investigator's judgment.
2. Subjects are willing to sign the informed consent form (ICF) before any study procedures are initiated.
3. Male or female patients aged ≥18 years old and ≤75 years old.
4. Dose escalation phase: Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced unresectable/relapsed metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or advanced solid tumors with lung metastases who have failed prior standard therapy, have no standard therapy or are not eligible for standard therapy.

   Cohort expansion phase:
   * Cohort 1: Subjects with advanced unresectable or metastatic NSCLC who have failed prior immunotherapy and/or platinum-based chemotherapy, including:
   * Those with driver gene mutations positive for which no targeted therapy is approved;
   * Those without driver gene mutations.
   * Cohort 2: Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed relapsed sarcoma with lung metastases after surgical resection (lung metastases only).
   * Cohort 3: Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed relapsed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), or other sensitive tumors with lung metastases after surgical resection (lung metastases only).
5. Subjects with relapsed, refractory, or locally advanced lesions are eligible; subjects with curable or resectable lesions are not eligible.
6. Subjects must have at least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST 1.1, i.e., non-lymph node lesions with a long diameter ≥10 mm or a lymph node lesion with a short diameter ≥15 mm on cross-sectional imaging (CT or MRI).
7. Pulmonary function test: FEV1/expected FEV1 ≥50% and FVC ≥50% of expected value.
8. Subjects have adequate hematologic, hepatic, renal, and coagulation function.
9. Eligible subjects of childbearing potential (male and female) must agree to use reliable contraceptive methods during the study and for at least six months after the last dose.
10. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days before starting treatment.
11. Subjects with an eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) score of 0-1 and an expected survival of at least 12 weeks.
12. All adverse events (AEs) from prior treatment or surgery must have recovered to Grade 1 or baseline.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. The subject has received chemotherapy or antibody therapy, molecular targeted therapy, hormone therapy, therapeutic or palliative radiotherapy within 21 days before the first dose, has received anti-tumor traditional Chinese medicine therapy within 1 week before the first dose, or has received immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., PD-1, PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies) within 42 days.
