This is an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor efficacy of SYH2051 in patients with advanced solid tumors or in combination with radiotherapy (RT) in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer.

3. Eastern Collaborative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0\~1;
4. Patients in medical conditions to be able to receive radiotherapy (for phase Ib/Ic);
5. Life expectancy of \>3 months;
6. At least one measurable lesion (excluding patients in phase Ic combined with adjuvant radiotherapy);

7. Active brain metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis;
8. Concurrent serious and/or uncontrolled medical conditions at screening (e.g., severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease);
9. Patients with abnormal thyroid function were not allowed, except those with euthyroid function after drug control;
10. History of severe cardiovascular disease;
11. History of myopathy or raised creatine kinase (CK) \>5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN);
