About this study
Official title: A Phase I Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Efficacy and Immunogenicity of TI-0093 Injection in Patients With Recurrent/Metastatic HPV-16 Positive Solid Tumors
This is a phase I, open-label, dose escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy and immunogenicity of TI-0093 injection in patients with recurrent or metastatic HPV-16 positive solid tumors.
The primary objectives of the study are to assess safety and tolerability of TI-0093 injection in patients with recurrent or metastatic solid tumors, and to determine the maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) and recommended Phase 2 doses (RP2Ds) of TI-0093 injection.
Read the detailed description
All potential study candidates will provide informed consent and undergo screening procedures to determine their study eligibility. After a screening period of up to 28 days, qualified patients will be enrolled to receive their assigned dose of TI-0093 injection. Patients will receive a total of five doses of TI-0093 administered muscularly on Day1, Day8, Day15, Day29 and Day43, respectively. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) will be assessed for at least 28 days after the first dose of a given regimen. During the study, patients will be evaluated for safety, toxicity, immunogenicity, ORR, DOR, DCR, and PFS per protocol.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing therapeutic tumor vaccine in people with HPV 16+ Recurrent or Metastatic Cancer and HNSCC, run by Therorna at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 31 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Ye Guo (0086-457-13501678472, pattrickguo@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: From enrollment to 28 days post the last dose of TI-0093 injection). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Nov 2025.
