Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a new drug called YL202 in about 100 people with advanced solid tumors, including lung, colorectal, and cervical cancers. The drug is given through an IV and aims to shrink tumors or stop them from growing. Researchers will check how well it works and monitor for side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
YL202 (a drug given by IV infusion)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
