**Revised version:**
Locally advanced or advanced solid tumors remain a major clinical challenge despite multimodal treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. For patients with unresectable, recurrent, metastatic, or treatment-refractory disease, prognosis remains poor, and effective therapeutic strategies are still urgently needed. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), particularly PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, have transformed the treatment landscape of multiple solid tumors by reinvigorating anti-tumor immune responses through inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway. However, only a subset of patients derive durable benefit from immunotherapy, and primary or acquired resistance remains common, highlighting the need for rational combination strategies to enhance anti-tumor efficacy.
Intriguingly, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, originally developed as anti-diabetic agents, have shown emerging anti-tumor potential through metabolic regulation and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. In particular, combining SGLT-2 inhibition with immune checkpoint blockade may enhance tumor control through metabolic-immunologic crosstalk. Preclinical evidence suggests that the SGLT-2 inhibitor canagliflozin may suppress tumor growth and potentially improve the efficacy of PD-1 blockade. Based on this rationale, this phase II trial investigates the safety and efficacy of canagliflozin combined with tislelizumab in patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors, evaluating its impact on progression-free survival, overall survival, objective response rate, and tumor microenvironment modulation. This study aims to explore a novel metabolic-immunotherapy strategy based on dual metabolic and immune regulation, potentially providing a new therapeutic option for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention group | Experimental | Canagliflozin: According to the drug's prescribing information, the recommended starting dose is 100 mg once daily (qd), taken orally before the first meal of the day. For patients who tolerate 100 mg qd and have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m² with a need for additional glycemic control, the dose may be increased to 300 mg qd. In this study's dose-escalation phase, two dose levels will be evaluated: Low-dose cohort: 100 mg qd, taken before the first meal of the day. High-dose cohort: Starting dose of 100 mg qd for 1 week. If tolerated, the dose will escalate to 300 mg qd, taken before the first meal of the day. |

| Canagliflozin | Drug | Low-dose cohort: 100 mg qd, taken before the first meal of the day. High-dose cohort: Starting dose of 100 mg qd for 1 week. If tolerated, the dose will escalate to 300 mg qd, taken before the first meal of the day. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0 | Treatment-emergent adverse events will be assessed and summarized by number and percentage of participants, severity, seriousness, and relationship to study treatment. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival | Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. | From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months |
| Progression-Free Survival (PFS) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Prescribed Canagliflozin Doses Taken During Study Treatment | Medication adherence will be assessed as the proportion of prescribed canagliflozin doses actually taken during the treatment period. Adherence will be calculated based on drug accountability records, patient diaries, and/or returned tablets, and summarized as a percentage for each participant and overall. | From initiation of canagliflozin treatment through treatment discontinuation or completion of study treatment, up to 1 year |
Inclusion Criteria:
Aged ≥18 years and ≤80 years old at the time of signing the written informed consent form, regardless of gender.
Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or advanced solid tumors, including:
According to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1), patients must have at least one target lesion with measurable diameters (tumor lesions with a long diameter ≥10 mm on CT scan, lymph node lesions with a short diameter ≥10 mm on CT scan, and a scan slice thickness of no more than 5 mm). Lesions that have received local treatments such as radiotherapy can be used as target lesions after clear progression is confirmed.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 to 1, with an expected survival period of ≥3 months.
Patients must be type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and meet the indications for canagliflozin; or patients have no diagnosis of diabetes, no history of type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
The diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus is defined as typical diabetic symptoms plus random blood glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L, or plus fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L, or plus 2-hour post-load blood glucose in oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) ≥11.1 mmol/L, or plus HbA1c ≥6.5%. For those without typical diabetic symptoms, reexamination on another day is required for confirmation (excluding random blood glucose).
Good function of major organs, that is, the relevant examination indicators within 14 days before randomization meet the following requirements (without blood or blood product transfusion, without the use of hematopoietic stimulating factors, and without the use of albumin or blood products):
Patients of childbearing potential (both male and female) must use effective medical contraceptive measures during the study period and within 6 months after the end of drug administration.
Body mass index (BMI) ≥18.5 kg/m² during the study screening period.
If complicated with hypertension, blood pressure must be controlled to a stable level with other medications.
No history of peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, or diabetic foot ulcers.
Patients voluntarily join this study, sign the informed consent form, have good compliance, and patients and their families agree to cooperate with survival follow-up.
