Brief summary: This is a phase I/II, open-label, multi-center, first-in-human study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of SY-5007 administered orally to participants with advanced solid tumors, including RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC or RET-mutated MTC or other RET-altered advanced solid tumor.

Detailed description: The study consists of 2 parts:

Part 1: Dose-escalation and dose-expansion in patients with RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC or RET-mutated MTC or other RET-altered advanced solid tumor. Dose-escalation study phase is designed to determine the DLTs (Dose-limiting toxicity) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and to characterize the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of SY-5007. Dose-expansion study phase is designed to evaluate the antitumor activity (ORR, DCR and DoR) of SY-5007 in patients.

Part 2: Phase II study to evaluate the antitumor efficacy of SY-5007. Patients with advanced RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC will be enrolled in this phase. SY-5007 will be administered orally 160mg twice daily in a 28-day cycle. This phase is designed to determine the antitumor activity (ORR, DCR, DoR, PFS and OS), safety, and PK of SY-5007.

   For Phase II: As for phase I with the following modifications:
9. Participants must have histological or cytological confirmed locally advanced or metastatic RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC, have progressed following platinum-based chemotherapy and/or PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy, or have not received prior systemic therapy, or in the opinion of the Investigator, they would be unlikely to tolerate or derive significant clinical benefit from appropriate standard of care therapy, or they declined standard therapy.
10. The participants' tumor tissue or blood sample test results meet 1 of the following 2 criteria:

    1. Previous tumor tissue or blood sample confirmed positive for RET fusion by local laboratory.
    2. If no previous positive RET fusion test report is available, a compliant tumor tissue or blood sample must be tested at a central laboratory designated by the sponsor, using a second-generation sequencing (NGS)-based assay, and confirmed as positive for RET fusion.

Exclusion Criteria:
