Description

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Voluntarily sign informed consent;
2. At least 18 years old and less than 75 years old on the date of signing the informed consent;

3. Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors who have developed disease progression since the last antitumor therapy, have no standard therapy available, do not tolerate or refuse standard therapy;

   • Stage Ia: Subjects with advanced relapsed or metastatic solid tumors with HER2 expression or amplification or mutation, stage Ia may refer to (but is not limited to) specific types of tumors at stage Ib;
   • Stage Ib: HER2-positive or expressed advanced breast cancer, advanced urothelial cancer, advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, advanced ovarian cancer, and advanced endometrial cancer; Wild-type unresectable RAS and BRAF with HER2 expression or amplification in locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer; Advanced non-small cell lung cancer with a HER2 mutation. Other advanced tumors that are HER2-positive or expressed, HER2 amplified or mutated may be determined after discussion with the sponsor.

4. The subject shall provide a previous HER2 test report. If there is no previous HER2 test result, the archived/biopsied tumor tissue shall be provided for HER2 test in a 3A hospital or central laboratory. The HER2 status of the tumor tissue was determined by the investigator based on previous reports and test results from a 3A hospital or central laboratory. HER2 status is as follows:

   • HER2 positive: IHC(3+) or IHC(2+) further test positive for ISH;

Ib: The antitumor activity of KM501 monotherapy in subjects with specific types of tumors that are HER2-positive or express, amplify, or mutate will be evaluated at the RP2D dose level
