ARTEMIS-006: HS-20093 in Patients With Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Other Solid Tumors

HS-20093 is a fully humanized IgG1 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) which specifically binds to B7-H3, a target wildly expressed on solid tumor cells.

This is a phase 2, open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of HS-20093 as a monotherapy in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and other solid tumors.

This is a phase 2, open-label, multi-center study consisting of two parts: Phase 2a and 2b.

Phase 2a: The study will be conducted in the following two cohorts: Cohort 1: Patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who have progressed on or intolerant to standard therapies. Cohort 2: Other patients with advanced solid tumors if they have progressed on or intolerant to available standard therapies, or no standard or available curative therapy exists. All subjects will receive 10.0 mg/kg of HS-20093.

Phase 2b: The study will be conducted in patients with recurrent/metastatic HNSCC who have progressed on or intolerant to standard therapies. Subjects will receive 10.0 mg/kg of HS-20093.

All patients will be carefully followed for adverse events during the study treatment and for 90 days after the last dose of HS-20093. Subjects will be permitted to continue therapy with assessments for progression if the product is well tolerated and sustained clinical benefit exists.

Eligibility Criteria:

  8. Female subjects must not be pregnant at screening or have evidence of non-childbearing potential.

  9. Signed and dated Informed Consent Form.

Exclusion Criteria:
