Brief summary: This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intravenous injection of RC48-ADC in the treatment of HER2 expression (HER2 positive and HER2 low expression) gynecological malignancies.

Detailed description: This study is an open, multi-cohort, multi-center Phase II basket clinical study that included HER2 expression (HER2 positive and HER2 low expression) gynecological malignant tumor subjects. The four cohorts include cervical cancer, ovarian epithelial cancer、 fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer, endometrial cancer and other gynecological malignancies (vulvar cancer, vaginal cancer, primary sarcoma of the gynecological reproductive system, etc.). Each cohort enrolled 30 subjects. Among them, IHC+, IHC2+, IHC3+ subjects were enrolled at least 5 subjects, and the remaining 15 subjects were not restricted by HER2 expression. HER2 expression includes HER2 positive and HER2 low expression. HER2 positive is defined by the immunohistochemical IHC 2+/fluorescence in situ hybridization technique FISH+ or IHC 3+ judged by the central laboratory. HER2 low expression is defined as IHC 2+/FISH- or IHC+ as determined by the central laboratory. The Molecular Pathology Department of the Department of Pathology, Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences will serve as the research center laboratory to confirm the HER2 status (including IHC and FISH tests).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* 1. Meet all the conditions of any of the following queues:
* Queue one:

  1. Histologically confirmed patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have failed at least the first-line platinum-containing standard treatment or failed concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy;
  2. Not suitable for surgery or radiotherapy.
* Queue two:

  1. Ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal cancer confirmed histologically;

  2. Patients who have failed the standard treatment of at least first-line platinum-containing chemotherapy;
  3. Not suitable for surgery or radiotherapy.

* 2.Voluntarily agree to participate in the research and sign an informed consent form;
* 3. Female, age ≥18 years old;
* 4. Expected survival period ≥ 12 weeks;
* 5.The central laboratory confirms the expression of HER2: IHC 1+, 2+ or 3+; the subject can provide specimens of the primary or metastatic tumor site for HER2 detection (paraffin blocks, paraffin-embedded sections or fresh tissue sections are acceptable); IHC2+ Of subjects need to be tested for FISH. Note: The scoring standard for HER2 testing is determined by the central laboratory.
