Clinical summary

Summary

This study will have two parts: a dose escalation part (Phase 1a) followed by a dose expansion part (Phase 1b).

In the dose escalation part, participants with advanced HER2-related solid cancers will be enrolled in dose escalation cohorts to receive BM230 as an injection under the skin once a week for 3 weeks in the first treatment cycle, and then once every 2 weeks with 4 weeks as a cycle. This part aims to identify the maximum rolerated dose or recommended expansion dose(s) of BM230 to be further evaluated in the next part.

In the dose expansion part, five distinct cohorts of participants with advanced solid tumours related to HER2 will receive BM230 at the maximum tolerated dose or recommended expansion dose(s) with the aim of better understand the safety and efficacy of BM230.

The study is recruiting people with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours, however people with breast cancer, stomach cancer, bowel cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer are preferable.

Conditions

This trial is treating people with locally advanced or metastatic solid cancers with HER2 expression or HER2 amplification
