Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  3. No prior systemic anti-tumor therapy. For patients who received neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy or radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the interval from the last dose of chemotherapy to disease recurrence or progression must be > 6 months to be eligible for screening.
  4. At least one measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1).
  5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
  6. Expected survival ≥ 12 weeks

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior treatment with any of the following: anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody therapy; ADC therapy targeting EGFR and/or HER3, or ADC therapy with a topoisomerase I inhibitor as the toxic payload;
  2. Subjects at high risk of bleeding or esophageal fistula, e.g., lesions with large ulcers or direct invasion of vital adjacent organs such as the aorta or trachea;
  3. Subjects with a history of gastrointestinal perforation and/or fistula within 6 months prior to the first dose;
  4. Presence of active central nervous system (CNS) metastases;
  5. Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy (e.g., corticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents) within 2 years prior to the first dose;
  6. Toxicities from prior anti-tumor therapy have not recovered to ≤ Grade 1 per CTCAE v6.0 or to the level specified in the inclusion/exclusion criteria;
  7. Severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease;
  8. Known hypersensitivity or severe allergic reaction to the study treatment drugs, any of their components, or their excipients；

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description

Time Frame: up to 4 years
Abnormal changes in laboratory and other tests with clinical significance
up to 4 years
adverse event（AE）
Time Frame: up to 4 years
Abnormal changes in laboratory and other tests with clinical significance
up to 4 years
RP3D
Time Frame: up to 4 years
Recommended dose for phase III trial
up to 4 years
Objective response rate (ORR) based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST1.1)
Time Frame: up to 4 years
Defined as the proportion of subjects who achieved partial response (PR) or complete response (CR)
up to 4 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression free survival(PFS)
Time Frame: up to 2years
The time from first dose to Disease progression or death
up to 2years
overall survival (OS)
Time Frame: up to 4 years

up to 4 years
immunogenicity
Time Frame: up to 2years
Incidence of Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA)
up to 2years

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Biomarker
Time Frame: up to 2years
exploratory analysis of the correlation between potential biomarkers (which may include PD-L1, EGFR, HER3, etc.) and clinical efficacy of JS212 combination therapy.
