Phase I-II

A Phase 1/2, First-in-human Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Antitumor Activity of AVZO-1418 as a Single Agent and in Combination Therapy in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

  • Study HIC#:2000040674
  • Last Updated:01/22/2026

This study, the first clinical trial of AVZO-1418, aims to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, maximum tolerated dose, and antitumor activity of AVZO-1418 when administered intravenously as a monotherapy and potentially in combination therapy to patients with locally advanced or metastatic epithelial solid tumors.

    Trial Purpose and Description

    This first-in-human, Phase 1/2 study will aim to obtain safety and tolerability data when AVZO-1418 is administered intravenously to patients with locally advanced or metastatic epithelial solid tumors.

    Phase 1 is a dose escalation phase which will assess the safety and tolerability of AVZO-1418 and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AVZO-1418 as a monotherapy. This data can guide selection of combination schedules and agents.

    Phase 2 is a dose expansion phase that will aim to assess the antitumor activity of AVZO-1418 as a monotherapy and potentially in combination therapy.

    Eligibility Criteria

    • Patient must be an adult, between 18 and 75 years of age with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of ≤ 1 and a life expectancy of > 3 months.
    • Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced/metastatic malignancies for tumor types of preferred indications:

      o Locally advanced or metastatic epithelial solid tumors (as specified in the protocol).

    • Measurable disease as assessed by Investigator using RECIST v1.1.
    • Agree to provide molecular test report results to confirm eligibility and archival tumor samples and/or fresh biopsy, as applicable.
    • Other protocol-defined Inclusion criteria apply.
