New cancer drug YL211 enters first human tests
NCT ID NCT06384352
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called YL211 in 155 people with advanced solid tumors who have no standard treatment options left. The study has three parts: first, finding a safe dose; then, confirming that dose; and finally, testing how well it works. The main goals are to check safety and see if tumors shrink.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- YL211 (an antibody-drug conjugate given intravenously)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial, so the drug may not be safe or effective. Side effects are unknown, and it will take years before any potential treatment is confirmed.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Informed of the trial before the start of the trial and voluntarily sign their name and date on the ICF. 2. Aged ≥18 years. 3. Be able and willing to comply with protocol visits and procedures. 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) of 0 or 5. Adequate organ and bone marrow function. For Part 1: History of an advanced solid tumors (including locally advanced unresectable or metastatic NSCLC, metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC), advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC)/ gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJA), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic biliary tract cancer (ih-BTC), and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who failed currently available standard therapies and are not amenable to surgical resection, or for whom no available standard therapy or no other approved therapeutic options that have demonstrated clinical benefit. For Part 2: For patients with CRC: History of histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic CRC and at least 2 prior regimens of standard treatment For patients with NSCLC: History of histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic NSCLC and no more than 2 lines of prior cytotoxic systemic therapy in the locally advanced or metastatic setting. For Part 3: History of histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic non-squamous (Part 3A) or squamous (Part 3B) NSCLC and no more than 2 lines of prior systemic therapy For Part 4: History of histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who have progressed on or after 1 or 2 prior lines of systemic therapy For Part 5 and Part 6 Histologically or cytologically documented locally advanced unresectable or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC that is not eligible for curative surgery and/or definitive chemoradiotherapy and no prior systemic treatment for advanced unresectable or metastatic NSCLC Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior treatment with an agent targeting c-MET (including antibody, ADC, chimeric antigen receptor T cell \[CAR-T\], and other drugs) with the exception of prior treatment with MET-targeted TKIs which are allowed. 2. Previously received an ADC consisting of a TopoI 3. Received continuous systemic steroids therapy for more than 28 days or require long-term (≥ 28 days) use of systemic steroids therapy within 28 days before the first administration, or have other acquired or congenital immune deficiency diseases. (Note: The protocol lists specific situational exceptions immediately following this clause). 4. A history of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis or carcinomatous meningitis 5. Brain metastasis, except for the following situations: Participants with asymptomatic brain metastasis who do not require immediate local or systemic treatment (such as mannitol or steroids, surgery, or radiotherapy) are allowed to be enrolled If the participant's brain metastasis is treated and the condition of the metastasis is stable (brain imaging examination at least 2 weeks before the first administration shows that the lesion is stable, there is no evidence of new or original brain metastasis enlargement, there are no new neurological symptoms, and immediate local or systemic treatment is not required), admission is allowed 6. Clinically significant concomitant pulmonary disease, including but not limited to: A history of drug-induced pneumonitis A history of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis that requires steroids, current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening
