Experimental cancer combo trial halted early – what we know

Except for early stage malignant neoplasms (carcinoma in situ or stage I neoplasms) that have been eradicated, such as adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, etc.; 8. Underwent major surgery (as determined by the investigator) or was undergoing surgical recovery within 4 weeks prior to initial dosing. Anti-tumor chemotherapy (eluting for 6 weeks for the last chemotherapy with nitrosourea or mitomycin), radiotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, or biotherapy within 4 weeks prior to initial administration. Receive anti-tumor or immunomodulatory TCM or Chinese adult medicine preparations within 2 weeks before the first administration; 9. Patients with symptoms of central nervous system metastasis (if asymptomatic and not currently receiving corticosteroid treatment, they are allowed to be enrolled) or primary tumor disease of the central nervous system; 10. Spinal cord compression that cannot be treated radically by surgery and/or radiotherapy, or for previously diagnosed spinal cord compression that is treated without clinical evidence of disease stability ≥1 week prior to randomization; 11. No remission of toxicity after previous antitumor therapy, i.e., no regression to the level specified in baseline, nCI-CTCAE5.0 level 0\~1 (except hair loss), or inclusion/exclusion criteria. Irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be aggravated by the study drug (e.g., hearing loss) may be included after consultation with the medical monitor ; 12. Repeated drainage is required for third space effusion with clinical symptoms, such as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion and abdominal effusion that cannot be controlled by drainage or other treatment; 13.

Patients with prior HBV infection or cured hepatitis B (defined as HBcAb positive and HBsAg negative) can be enrolled. These patients should be tested for HBV DNA expression at the same time before randomization, and the copy number of HBV DNA should be lower than the upper limit of the normal value in the laboratory department of the research center. 2.
