Overview
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IAH0968 in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin for the treatment of HER2-positive unresectable advanced/metastatic malignant tumors and cholangiocarcinoma. The study is divided into two stages: Phase Ib, an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter dose-escalation trial, and Phase II, a randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled, multicenter trial.
Description
Phase Ib is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter dose-escalation trial. It utilizes the classic "3+3" design to investigate the safety and tolerability of IAH0968 in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin for the treatment of HER2-positive unresectable advanced/metastatic malignant tumors and cholangiocarcinoma.
Phase II study is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled, multicenter research design. It aims to investigate the efficacy of IAH0968 in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin for the treatment of HER2-positive unresectable advanced/metastatic malignant tumors and cholangiocarcinoma.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
Phase Ib
- The age of the participant should be 18 years or older.
- The participant should have been diagnosed with HER2-positive advanced solid tumors that have failed standard treatment, as confirmed by pathological histology or cytology. Standard treatment failure is defined as disease progression during or after the last treatment, or inability to tolerate treatment due to severe toxicity (grade ≥ 4 hematologic toxicity or grade ≥ 3 non-hematologic toxicity following previous standard treatment). HER2 positivity is defined as proven HER2-positive through immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The interpretation and standards for HER2 positivity in breast cancer will follow current breast cancer guidelines, and for HER2 positivity in cancers other than breast cancer, current gastric cancer guidelines will be followed (Appendix 9).
- The GC regimen is the frontline standard treatment for the specific type of cancer (including urinary tract carcinoma, NSCLC, pancreatic cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, etc.).
