A Study of DB-1311 in Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors

A Phase 1/2a, Multicenter, Open-Label, First in Human Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Antitumor Activity of DB-1311 in Subjects With Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors

This is a dose-escalation and dose-expansion Phase 1/2a trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of DB-1311 in subjects with advanced solid tumors.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Advanced Solid Tumors
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: DB-1311

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, open-label, multiple-dose, FIH Phase 1/2a study. Phase 1 adopts an accelerated titration at first dose level followed with classic "3+3" design to identify the MTD and/or RP2D. Phase 2a is a dose expansion phase to confirm the safety, tolerability and explore efficacy in selected malignant solid tumors treated with DB-1311 as monotherapy.
