Part 1:

• Must have at least 1 measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
• Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced solid tumors, in whom available standard treatments failed or were intolerable.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants receiving any of the following treatments:

  1. Previously treated with systemic TLR7/8 immunomodulators.
  2. Any other investigational product treatment within 4 weeks before the first dosing.
  3. Chemotherapy, biotherapy, endocrine therapy (except for hormone replacement), and biological targeted medicines within 4 weeks before the first dosing. Local palliative radiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine with anti-tumor effect, and small molecule targeted therapy within 2 weeks (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) before the first dosing.
  4. Major surgery within 4 weeks before the first dosing for any reason (excluding puncture biopsy), or need to undergo elective surgery during the trial.
  5. Potent CYP3A4/5 inducer or inhibitor within 2 weeks prior to administration of the first dose of the study drug.
  6. Systemic immunosuppressive drugs within 2 weeks prior to administration of the first dose of the study drug, including systemic corticosteroids (>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent).
  7. Other immunomodulators within 2 weeks prior to administration of the first dose of the study drug, including but not limited to thymosin, interleukin-2 and interferon.
• Had CTCAE Grade ≥3 immune-related adverse events (irAE) after receiving immunotherapy.

• The main organ function meets any of the following criteria within 7 days prior to the first dosing. （Note: blood transfusion, EPO, G-CSF, albumin infusion and renal replacement therapy are not allowed within 14 days prior to treatment.)

  1. Hematological function: ANC < 1.5×10^9/L, PLT < 75×10^9/L, Hemoglobin (Hb) < 100 g/L.
  2. Hepatic function: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥ 3×ULN; ALT and AST ≥ 5×ULN for participants with liver metastases; Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≥ 1.5×ULN; albumin < 30 g/L.
  3. Creatinine clearance< 75 mL/min.
  4. INR > 1.5 or APTT > 1.5×ULN.
  5. The urine protein presents positive and the quantitative result of 24-h urine protein ≥ 1 g.
• Participants with symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases or carcinomatous meningitis; or other evidence suggesting that the central nervous system metastasis or meningeal metastasis is not well-controlled and is judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for enrollment.
• Uncontrollable third cavity effusion (e.g. large amount pleural effusion, ascites, or pericardial effusion, etc.) requiring repeated drainage, which is judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for enrollment.
• Known history of neurological disorders affecting brain functional activities, including epilepsy or dementia.

• Severe cardiac-cerebral vascular disease, including but not limited to:

  1. Acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, or received coronary angioplasty or stent implantation within 6 months before the first dosing.
  2. New York Heart Association functional class II to IV congestive heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50% or the lower normal limit.
  3. Uncontrollable hypertension (even though the best available treatment is used but systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg).
  4. QTcF interval prolongation during the baseline period.
• Participants with active or history of autoimmune diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, etc.), except for clinically stable autoimmune thyroid diseases.
• Active infection requiring systemic therapy within 7 days prior to the first dosing; active hepatitis B or hepatitis C, history of immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease or HIV antibody positive.
• Priorly received allogeneic stem cell transplantation or solid organ transplantation.
• Known allergy to the ZG0895.HCl or any of its excipients; have severe allergy history (CTCAE Grade ≥ 3), such as severe urticaria, angioedema, severe anaphylaxis, etc.
• Females who are pregnant or nursing during the screening period.
• The investigators consider that the participants are not suitable to participate in the clinical study for other reasons.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Part1：Dose Escalation; During the dose-escalation stage, an accelerated titration design (ATD) will be utilized for the first three lower dose groups (0.06, 0.12 and 0.18 mg/m^2). The conventional "3+3" dose escalation method will be used for the subsequent dose groups. The entire duration of 21 days after the first dose of ZG0895.HCl is defined as the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observation period.

Drug: ZG0895 Hydrochloride for Injection; The dose escalation of ZG0895.HCl is set as 0.06, 0.12, 0.18, 0.37, 0.75, 1.50, 2.25, 3.00, and 3.75 mg/m^2 groups, subcutaneous (SC) injection once a week (QW); Other Names: ZG0895.HCl

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)	DLT is defined as any of the following adverse events (AE) occurring from the first dose of Day 1 to Day 21, unless the investigator deems that the AE is clearly related to the disease progress or definitely due to an external cause. Delayed DLTs are adverse events that meet the criteria of DLTs that occur after Cycle 1. All AEs will be graded according to the US National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE v5.0), except for cytokine release syndrome (CRS)	Up to Day 21
The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ZG0895.HCl	During the dose-escalation stage, if there is a first occurrence that ≥ 2 participants in a dose group experience DLT, then the dose level will be considered to be an intolerable dose, and the previous lower dose will be considered to be the MTD. The MTD group should have at least 6 evaluable participants.	Up to Day 21
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)		Up to 3 Years
Number of Participants Experiencing Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)		Up to 3 Years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
Overall Response Rate (ORR) as assessed by the investigator	Up to 3 Years
