What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new drug called SI-B001, a bispecific antibody that targets two proteins (EGFR and HER3) found on many cancer cells. The study involves about 60 adults with advanced epithelial tumors that cannot be cured or have no standard treatment. The main goals are to check the drug's safety, find the right dose, and get an early look at whether it might shrink tumors.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
SI-B001 (a bispecific antibody that targets two proteins, EGFR and HER3, on cancer cells)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced epithelial cancers that have not responded to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase I trial with only 60 participants, focused mainly on safety and dosing. It is too small and early to know if the drug will be effective or have manageable side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants must sign the informed consent form voluntarily and follow the plan requirements. 2. No gender limit. 3. Age: ≥18 years old and ≤75 years old (stage Ia); ≥18 years old (stage Ib). 4. Expected survival time ≥ 3 months. 5. Locally advanced or metastatic epithelial malignancies are confirmed by histopathology and/or cytology that are incurable or currently without standard treatment. 6. Participants must agree to provide archived tumor tissue specimens or fresh tissue samples within 6 months of the primary tumor or metastasis; in phase Ia, if the participant is unable to provide tumor tissue samples, the investigator will evaluate whether the participant could be enrolled if other criteria are fit to join the group. 7. Participants must have at least one measurable lesion that meets the definition of RECIST v1.1. 8. Physical fitness score ECOG 0 or 1 point. 9. The toxicity of previous anti-tumor treatments has been restored to NCI-CTCAE v5.0 definition ≤ 1 (except for hair loss). 10. No serious cardiac dysfunction, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%, (hypersensitivity) troponin T\<ULN. 11. The organ function must meet the following requirements and standards: a) Bone marrow function: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5×109/L, platelet count ≥100×109/L, hemoglobin ≥90 g/L; B) Liver function: total bilirubin (TBIL≤1.5 ULN), AST and ALT ≤2.5 ULN for participants without liver metastasis, AST and ALT ≤5.0 ULN for liver metastases; c) Kidney function: creatinine (Cr) ≤1.5 ULN, or creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≥50 mL/min (according to the Cockcroft and Gault formula). 12. Coagulation function: International normalized ratio (INR)≤1.5×ULN, and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)≤1.5ULN. 13. Urine protein≤2%2B (measured with test paper) or≤1000mg/24h (urine). 14. For premenopausal women with childbearing potential, a pregnancy test must be taken within 7 days prior to the start of treatment. Serum or urine pregnancy must be negative and must be non-lactating; all participants (regardless of male or female) in the group should be treated throughout the treatment. Adequate barrier contraceptive measures should be taken during the treatment and 6 months after the treatment. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Chemotherapy, biological therapy, immunotherapy, radical radiotherapy, major surgery, targeted therapy (including small molecule inhibitor of tyrosine kinase), and other anti-tumor therapy within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to the first administration; mitomycin and nitrosoureas treatment within 6 weeks prior to the first administration; oral fluorouracil-like drugs such as S-1, capecitabine, or palliative radiotherapy within 2weeks prior to the first administration. 2. If there is a history of vaccination within 3 months prior to the first administration, it is allowed to receive inactivated influenza vaccine within 30 days prior to the first administration, and the treatment of live attenuated vaccine is not allowed. 3. Participants with history of severe heart disease, such as: symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF) ≥ grade 2 (CTCAE 5.0), New York Heart Association (NYHA) ≥ grade 2 heart failure, history of transmural myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris etc. 4. Participants with prolonged QT interval (male QTc\> 450 msec or female QTc\> 470 msec), complete left bundle branch block, III grade atrioventricular block. 5. Active autoimmune diseases and inflammatory diseases, such as: systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis requiring systemic treatment, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, etc., except for type I diabetes, hypothyroidism that can be controlled only by alternative treatment, and skin diseases that do not require systemic treatment (such as vitiligo, psoriasis). 6. Other malignant tumors were diagnosed within 5 years prior to the first administration with the following exceptions: basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and/or carcinoma in situ after radical resection. 7. Participants with poorly controlled hypertension by two kinds of antihypertensive drugs (systolic blood pressure\>150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure\>100 mmHg). 8. Participants have grade 3 lung disease defined according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0, including participants with resting dyspnea, or requiring continuous oxygen therapy, or a history of interstitial lung disease (ILD). 9. Symptoms of active central nervous system metastasis. However, participants with stable brain metastasis or stable epidural spinal cord compression history can be included. Stable is defined as: a. With or without antiepileptic drugs, the seizure-free state lasts for more than 12 weeks; b. There is no need to use glucocorticoids; c. Continuous multiple MRI (scanning interval at least 8 weeks) showed a stable state in imaging. 10. Participants who have a history of allergies to recombinant humanized antibodies or human-mouse chimeric antibodies or any of the components of SI-B001. 11. Participants have a history of autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation. 12. In the adjuvant (or neoadjuvant) treatment of anthracyclines, the cumulative dose of anthracyclines is\> 360 mg/m2. 13. Human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIVAb) positive, active tuberculosis, active hepatitis B virus infection (HBV-DNA copy number\> 104) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. 14. Participants with active infections requiring systemic treatment, such as severe pneumonia, bacteremia, sepsis, etc. 15. Other conditions that the investigator believes that it is not suitable for participating in this clinical trial. 16. Participated in another clinical trial within 4 weeks prior to participating in the study.
