A Study of YL202 in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Breast Cancer

A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-label, First-in-human Study of YL202 in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Breast Cancer

This is a phase 1, multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study of YL202 conducted in the United States and China.

The study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of YL202 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated NSCLC or hormone receptor (HR)-positive and HER2-negative BC, which have been heavily treated by standard treatment.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: YL202 Dose escalation; YL202 will be administrated intravenously (IV) per dose level in which the patients are assigned.	Drug: YL202; YL202 is provided as the lyophilized powder, 200 mg/vial. YL202 will be given intravenously once every 3 weeks (Q3W) as a cycle. The initial dose of YL202 will be infused IV into each patient for 90 ±10 minutes. If there is no infusion-related reaction after the initial dose, the second and subsequent doses of YL202 will be infused IV into each patient for 60 ±10 minutes.
