a study of zl-1211 in patients with advanced solid tumor

Conditions: Advanced Solid Tumor

Summary: this study is a phase i/ii, open-label, dose escalation, and cohort expansion study designed to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (pk), pharmacodynamics (pd), immunogenicity, and preliminary antitumor activity of zl-1211 administered by iv infusion on a every 2 weeks (q2w) schedule.

the study consists of two stages, phase i -dose escalation phase to determine the maximum tolerated dose (mtd) or maximum administered dose (mad) (if no mtd is defined) of zl-1211, and phase ii -cohort expansion phase to further define the safety and initial antitumor activity of zl-1211 with the dose established in the dose escalation phase. the trial was intended to be a phase 1/2 trial but the phase 2 was not initiated.
