Overview
The aims of this clinical trial are (1) to assess the safety of AWT020 at different dose levels; (2) to determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AWT020 in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic cancer who have failed standard therapy.
Description
This study will enroll subjects with locally advanced or metastatic cancer who have failed standard therapy. Subjects enrolled into this study will be assigned a dose level and receive AWT020 via intravenous infusion at a regular interval. The treatment will be continued until disease progression, withdrawal from study or death. The primary objective is to investigate the safety of this agent. The secondary objective is to investigate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic, potential anti-tumor activity and immunogenicity of this agent.

- Subject has baseline corrected QT interval (QTc) longer than 480 ms by Fridericia formula.
- Subject is pregnant or breast-feeding.
- Subject has received live virus vaccine within 28 days prior to the first dose of study.
- Any other conditions that might compromise the safety of the subject or the integrity of the study.
