Overview

Phase I: To evaluate the safety, tolerance and effectiveness of IAP0971 for the treatment of advanced malignant tumors.

Phase II: Evaluation of IAP0971 therapy driver negative and PD-L1 positive (TPS≥50%) The initial treatment is effective in subjects with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

   ② Renal function: serum creatinine (Cr) ≤1.5 times ULN; If creatinine > 1.5 times ULN, creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≥50 mL/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula) was required.

   ③ Coagulation function: prothrombin international normalized ratio (INR) ≤1.5 times ULN, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤1.5 times ULN, patients with liver metastasis or liver cancer need INR and APTT≤2.5 times ULN.

10. Eligible patients (men and women) of childbearing potential must consent to use a reliable method of contraception (hormonal or barrier methods or abstinence) with their partner during the trial and for at least 6 months after the last dose; Female patients of reproductive age had to have a negative blood pregnancy test within 7 days before the first use of the study drug.

3. Phase I only: patients received anti-tumor therapy such as systemic chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biological therapy, endocrine therapy, or immunotherapy within 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug; The following drugs were excluded according to the following criteria:

   ① Treatment with a small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor within 2 weeks before the first dose;

   ② Palliative local treatment for non-target lesions within 2 weeks before the first dose; Patients received non-specific immunomodulatory therapy (such as interleukin, interferon, thymosin, not including IL-11) within 2 weeks before the first dose;

   ③ received Chinese herbal medicine or Chinese patent medicine with anti-tumor indications within 2 weeks before the first dose.

4. received other investigational drugs or treatments within 4 weeks before the study drug.
5. received systemic glucocorticoids (prednisone > 10 mg/ day or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive agents within 14 days before the first dose of study drug; The use of topical, ocular, intra-articular, nasal, and inhaled glucocorticoids was excluded. Short-term prophylaxis with glucocorticoids (e.g., to prevent contrast allergy).
6. the adverse effects of previous antineoplastic therapy have not recovered to CTCAE 5.0 grade ≤1 or the relevant requirements of the inclusion criteria (except for toxicities without safety risks judged by the investigators, such as alopecia, grade 2 peripheral neurotoxicity, and hypothyroidism stable with hormone replacement therapy).
7. major surgical procedures (excluding needle biopsies) within 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug, major trauma, or the need for elective surgery during the trial.
