About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of N-3C01 as Monotherapy and in Combination With PD-(L)1 Monoclonal Antibody in Patients With Advanced Malignant Solid Tumors

This Phase I/II study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of N-3C01 administered subcutaneously, both as monotherapy and in combination with a PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibody, in patients with advanced solid tumors. Phase I involves dose escalation for both monotherapy and combination therapy, while Phase II includes cohort expansion for the combination therapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I/II clinical study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of N-3C01 administered subcutaneously, both as monotherapy and in combination with a PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibody, in patients with advanced solid tumors. Phase I consists of dose escalation of N-3C01 as monotherapy and in combination with PD-(L)1 antibody, while Phase II involves cohort expansion of the combination therapy.

The Phase I study employs an escalation design. Participants will receive N-3C01 either as monotherapy or in combination with a fixed dose of PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibody. The study will assess safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics across different dose levels and dosing schedules to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D).

A Safety Review Committee (SRC), comprising the Investigator, Sponsor representative, and Medical Monitor, will oversee safety evaluations. The SRC will review dose-limiting toxicity data and provide recommendations on dose escalation, de-escalation, expansion, or study discontinuation and RP2D. In Phase II, eligible participants will receive N-3C01 at the RP2D in combination with a fixed dose of PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibody.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing N-3C01(Q2W), N-3C01(Q3W) and N-3C01 in people with Advanced Malignant Solid Tumors, run by Hefei Xinzhu Biological Technology Co., Ltd. at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 13 inclusion and 21 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 17 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Australia, 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 Karen Zhou (+8613521345200, Karen.zhou@novotech-cro.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) (time frame: 28 days from the first study dose). The study lists 9 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 17 Sep 2026.
