What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Dose limiting toxicity (DLT)	DLTs are assessed according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0 during the first cycle and defined as occurrence of any of the toxicities in DLT definition if judged by the investigator to be possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug administration.	Up to 14 days after the first dose of GNC-039
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administrated dose (MAD)	In the dose increment stage, the highest dose whose estimated DLT rate is closest to the target DLT rate but does not exceed the upper bound of the equivalent interval of DLT rate is selected as MTD.	Up to 14 days after the first dose of GNC-039
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)	The incidence and severity of adverse events (TEAE) during treatment were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Standard for Common Terminology for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE, v5.0).	Up to approximately 24 months

AUC0-inf: Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity	Blood concentration - Area under time line.	Up to 14 days after the first dose of GNC-039
AUC0-t: Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration	Blood concentration - Area under time line.	Up to 14 days after the first dose of GNC-039
CL: Clearance in the serum of GNC-039 per unit of time	To study the serum clearance rate of GNC-039 per unit time.	Up to 14 days after the first dose of GNC-039
Incidence and titer of ADA (Anti-drug antibody)	Frequency and titer of anti-GNC-039 antibody (ADA) will be evaluated.	Up to approximately 24 months
OS (Overall Survival)	Overall survival is the time from randomization to death from any cause.	Up to approximately 24 months
PFS (Progression-free Survival)	The PFS is defined as the time from the participant's first dose of GNC-039 to the first date of either disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.	Up to approximately 24 months
