Overview

This is a single-center, open-label, dose-escalation phase I clinical study.This study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary clinical efficacy of RC48-ADC combined with RC98 in subjects with advanced gastric cancer.Which will provide a reference basis for dose confirmation in subsequent clinical studies.
