Overview

This study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NBL-020 injection in subjects with advanced malignant tumors, and determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerable dose (MTD) (if any), recommended phase II dose (RP2D), and dosing regimen of NBL-020.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Those who are 18 years old or older (based on the date of signing the informed consent form) and voluntarily sign the informed consent form;
2. For malignant tumors confirmed by histology or cytology, only solid tumor subjects were included in dose escalation study. In addition to solid tumors, additional skin T-cell lymphoma subjects could be considered in dose expansion study;
3. Must be willing to provide tumor tissue samples that can meet the requirements of biomarker testing (fresh biopsy tissue is preferred; if fresh tissue cannot be provided, tumor tissue samples within 2 years can be provided), and tumor samples will be tested by the central laboratory. If tumor tissue does not meet the testing requirements, additional biopsy may be required;
4. If the standard treatment fails or toxicity is intolerable, or there is no standard treatment, the enrolled subjects must fully recover from previous treatment, with an AE level of 0-1 (except for alopecia, pigmentation, or other toxicity that the researcher believes is not a safety risk to the subjects);
5. For subjects with solid tumor, there is at least one measurable lesion that meets the RECIST 1.1 standard at the baseline (the measurable lesion area has not received radiotherapy in the past, or there is evidence that the lesion has unequivocal progressed after radiotherapy);
6. ECOG PS score 0-1 points;
7. Expected survival time ≥ 3 months (12 weeks);
8. Good organ function (no blood transfusion or growth factor support treatment received within 2 weeks before blood collection for relevant examinations), including:
   1. Absolute value of neutrophils (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10^9/L；
   2. Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 90 g/L;
   3. Platelets ≥ 100 × 10^9 /L;
   4. Creatinine ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal value (ULN) or creatinine clearance rate ≥ 50 mL/min (Cockcroft Fault formula);
   5. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN (≤ 3 × ULN for Gilbert's syndrome）;
   6. Alanine aminotransferase (AST) and aspartate aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN (≤ 5 × ULN for subjects with liver metastasis);
   7. Coagulation function: prothrombin time (PT), international standardized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN.

             Note: If the subject does not meet the requirements during screening, a re-examination
             is allowed.
          9. The subjects must agree to take effective contraceptive measures from the signing of
             the informed consent form until 6 months after the last administration. Women of
             childbearing age tested negative for serum pregnancy within 7 days before the first
             dose of the investigational drug.
        Exclusion Criteria:
          1. Subjects with a history of severe allergies to monoclonal antibodies;
          2. Active pia mater lesions or uncontrolled brain metastases exist. Subjects with
             suspected or confirmed brain metastasis can be enrolled as long as they are
             asymptomatic and do not require treatment (such as radiotherapy, surgery, or
             corticosteroid therapy) to control the symptoms of brain metastasis. For subjects with
             brain metastasis requiring treatment, their symptoms remain stable (without hormone
             maintenance treatment, without symptoms of brain metastasis) for 2 weeks after
             treatment, and they can be enrolled.
          3. Subjects with active autoimmune diseases or a history of autoimmune diseases, but with
             the following diseases are allowed to be included in the study: well controlled type I
             diabetes, well controlled hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacement treatment,
             skin diseases without systemic treatment (such as vitiligo, psoriasis or alopecia), or
             subjects who are expected to have no relapse under the condition of no external
             trigger factors;
          4. Having a history of primary immunodeficiency, a history of allogeneic organ
             transplantation, or a history of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation;

             included), chronic hepatitis C (HCV antibody positive but HCV RNA negative can be
             included), and HIV antibody positive;
          6. The toxicity of previous anti-tumor treatments has not returned to ≤ Grade 1 (except
             for alopecia, pigmentation, or other toxicity that the researchers believe is not a
             safety risk to the subjects);
