Brief Summary
This is an open-label, multicenter Phase I study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic characteristics, and preliminary antitumor activity of JH021 injection in patients with advanced solid tumors. JH021 is a bispecific monoclonal antibody targeting EGFR and cMET. The study will assess JH021 in patients with advanced solid tumors for whom standard therapy is unavailable, intolerable, or no longer effective, and will provide data to support further clinical development.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of JH021 in Part Ia
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of JH021 and identify dose-limiting toxicities during the dose-escalation phase.
At the end of cycle 1(one cycle is 28 days)
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommanded dose for expansion (RP2D) of JHO21 in Part Ia
To determine the maximum tolerated dose (if reached) and identify the recommended dose for further clinical investigation.
Through completion of dose escalation, approximately up to 12 months
Objective response rate (ORR) in Part Ib
To evaluate the preliminary antitumor activity of JH021 monotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutant, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who are resistant to third-generation EGFR-TKIs and have progressed after platinum-containing chemotherapy, or have no standard treatment available, as assessed by investigators according to RECIST v1.1.
From first dose until disease progression, assessed up to approximately 12 months
Secondary Outcomes (9)
Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax)
From first dose through the PK assessment period, approximately up to 12 months
Time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) of JH021
from the first dose up to approximately 12 months
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of JH021
From first dose up to approximately 12 months
Terminal elimination half-time (t1/2) of JH021
From first dose up to approximately 12 months
Incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) in Part Ia
From first dose through the immunogenicity assessment period, approximately up to 12 months
- +4 more secondary outcomes
Other Outcomes (2)
Association between EGFR mutation subtype and antitumor activity of JH021
Baseline biomarker assessment and tumor assessments through approximately 12 months
Association between MET amplification or expression and antitumor activity of JH021
Baseline biomarker assessment and tumor assessments through approximately 12 months
Study Arms (1)
JH021
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive JH021 injection in this single-arm, open-label, multiceter phase I study, which consists of a dose escalation part( Part Ia) and a dose-expansion part (Part Ib), to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics , and preliminary antitumor activity in patients with advanced solide tumors.
Interventions
JH021 is an EGFR/cMET bispecific monoclonal antibody administered by intravenous infusion.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male or female participants aged 18 to 75 years, inclusive.
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed malignancy with disease progression since the most recent antitumor therapy, and for whom standard treatment is unavailable, not tolerated, or refused.
- Part Ia: patients with advanced solid tumors. Part Ib: patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR-sensitive mutations (EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R) detected in tumor tissue or plasma ctDNA, who are resistant to third-generation EGFR-TKIs and have progressed after platinum-containing chemotherapy, or have no standard treatment available.
- At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST version 1.1.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
- Estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
- Adequate organ function, defined as follows:
- Bone marrow function:
- Absolute neutrophil count \>= 1.5 × 10\^9/L Platelet count \>= 100 × 10\^9/L Hemoglobin \>= 90 g/L, without transfusion, erythropoietin, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, hepatoprotective therapy, or other medical supportive treatment within 2 weeks before dosing
- Hepatic function:
- Total bilirubin \<= 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) ALT and AST \<= 3 × ULN
- For participants with liver metastases:
- Total bilirubin \<= 2.5 × ULN ALT and AST \<= 5 × ULN
- Renal function:
- Serum creatinine \<= 1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance \>= 60 mL/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula)
- +5 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Known symptomatic or untreated central nervous system metastases, including leptomeningeal metastases. The following are allowed:
- lesions stable for at least 4 weeks after radiotherapy before first dose, as confirmed by MRI/CT; no uncontrolled neurological symptoms or signs, such as seizures, headache, central nausea/vomiting, progressive neurological dysfunction, or papilledema; asymptomatic untreated brain metastases not requiring local treatment (such as radiotherapy) or systemic treatment (such as mannitol or corticosteroids).
- History of another malignancy within 5 years before first dose, except for malignancies treated curatively with no recurrence, including non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, ductal carcinoma in situ or lobular carcinoma in situ of the breast, and localized prostate cancer.
- Receipt of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or other systemic antitumor therapy within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives before first dose, whichever is shorter; or receipt of Chinese herbal medicine or Chinese patent medicine for antitumor treatment within 2 weeks before first dose.
- Continuous systemic treatment with corticosteroids at a dose \>10 mg/day prednisone equivalent or other immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days before first dose or during the study. Exceptions:
- inhaled or topical corticosteroids at \<=10 mg/day prednisone equivalent in the absence of active autoimmune disease; short-term corticosteroids \>10 mg/day prednisone equivalent for prophylaxis (e.g., contrast allergy) or treatment of non-autoimmune conditions (e.g., delayed hypersensitivity reaction after allergen exposure).
