Utidelone Capsule Monotherapy for Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors

This trial is an open, multicenter, phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Utidelone capsules in patients with advanced solid tumors. The target population of the study is patients with advanced solid tumors (gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and other tumors (esophageal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer). The number of evaluable cases for tumor enrollment in gastric, ovarian, and bile duct cancers will be 20 cases each, and the total number of other tumors (including esophageal, liver, colorectal, and cervical cancers) will be no more than 40 cases. Patients who met the enrollment criteria received Utidelone capsule (UTD2) monotherapy.
