Study of SYSA1801 in the Treatment of Claudin( CLDN) 18.2 Positive Advanced Malignant Solid Tumor

A Phase I Trial to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Immunogenicity and Initial Efficacy of SYSA1801 in the Treatment of CLDN 18.2 Positive Advanced Malignant Solid Tumor

This is an open-label, dose escalation, dose expansion and extension cohort phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary anti-tumor activity of SYSA1801

This study includes two stages. The dose escalation and dose expansion part (Stage I) will determine the MTD and RP2D of SYSA1801 in subjects with advanced solid tumor for which there is no available standard likely to confer clinical benefit based on a modified 3+3 dose escalation design (an accelerated dose titration design followed by traditional 3+3 dose escalation design) The extension cohort (Stage II) will evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of SYSA1801 in subjects with Claudin 18.2 positive gastric cancer (GC), gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and other solid tumors who have relapsed and/or are refractory to approved therapies.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects provide documented informed consent voluntarily;

2. Male or female subjects ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years;

3. Subjects with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic malignant solid tumors confirmed by histology and/or cytology and CLDN 18.2 positive expression in the tumor tissue confirmed by the central laboratory: dose-escalation phase defined as IHC ≥ 1+ by central laboratory IHC assay; dose-expansion phase and extension cohort studies defined as CLDN18.2 expression in ≥ 40% of tumor cells, the IHC ≥ 2+);

4. Subjects met following requirements according to the different stages: Stage I: subjects have no standard treatment, or the standard treatment failed or was intolerant, or have no condition to receive standard treatment; Stage II: Subjects had received at least one prior line of systemic chemotherapy with clear disease progression confirmed by investigator or documented by medical records, in the following phase II cohorts:

   Cohort A: Gastric cancer/adenocarcinoma of gastroesophageal junction Cohort B: Pancreatic cancer Cohort C: Non-small cell lung cancer Cohort D: Other solid tumors expressing CLDN 18.2;
