An Phase I Study of YY001 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors

The safety and tolerability of YY001 in the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors were evaluated, and the possible dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase II clinical dose (RP2D) were observed.
