What to Expect as a Participant

You will actively receive the study intervention — which may be a drug, biologic, device, or procedure.

Phase 1 is the earliest stage of human testing — safety and dosage are the primary focus. Visits are frequent and medical supervision is intensive. You will be among the first people to receive this treatment.

This trial targets 9 participants in total. It began in 2025-12-16 with a primary completion date of 2027-06-01.

Brief Summary

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of DCSZ11 in combination with standard therapy in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female patients aged ≥18 years. 2. Willing and able to provide written informed consent for the study. 3. Patients with histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Note: Patients must have guideline-eligible standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy options available.Patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) must have PD-L1 Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1.Lung cancer patients with known actionable driver gene mutations/genomic aberrations (e.g., EGFR sensitizing mutations, BRAF V600E mutation, ROS1 rearrangements, NTRK gene fusions, ALK rearrangements) are excluded.Prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy is permitted, provided ≥6 months have elapsed between the last dose of chemotherapy/immunotherapy and documented recurrent disease.Gastric cancer patients must be HER2-negative. 4. Patients must have at least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 criteria. Lesions located in previously irradiated areas may be considered measurable if there is objective evidence of progression in those lesions prior to study enrollment. 5. Patients with previously treated central nervous system (CNS) metastases are eligible provided they meet all the following criteria: 1. Stability (i.e., no evidence of progression on magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\]) for ≥4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, and 2. All neurological symptoms have returned to baseline, and 3. No requirement for steroid therapy for at least 14 days prior to the first dose of study intervention. Patients with signs or symptoms suggestive of CNS metastases must undergo brain imaging within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug to confirm the absence of detectable CNS disease. 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. 7. Adequate organ function and bone marrow reserve per laboratory assessments within 10 days prior to first study drug administration: 1. Bone marrow function: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,500/µL * Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (must be achieved without erythropoietin dependency AND without packed red blood cell \[pRBC\] transfusion within the preceding 2 weeks) * Platelet count ≥100,000/µL 2. Hepatic function: * Total serum bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); or direct bilirubin ≤ULN for patients with total bilirubin \>1.5 × ULN * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 × ULN (≤5 × ULN if liver metastases present) 3. Renal function: * Estimated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min (per Cockcroft-Gault formula) 8. PD-L1 status must be available for all patients via approved immunohistochemistry assay. 9. Resolution of all prior treatment-related toxicities to Grade ≤1 or baseline, or determination as irreversible sequelae. \*Note: Grade ≤2 neuropathy and/or hearing loss, alopecia of any grade, or autoimmune endocrinopathies on stable replacement therapy are permitted.\* 10. Female patients must agree to refrain from breastfeeding for 5 months after last study dose and satisfy one of: 1. Postmenopausal for ≥1 year prior to screening, or 2. Surgically sterile, or 3. Agreement to use one highly effective contraceptive method plus one additional barrier method from signing informed consent form (ICF) until 5 months after last study dose, or 4. Practice true abstinence\* when consistent with preferred lifestyle Periodic abstinence, withdrawal, spermicide-only, or lactational amenorrhea are unacceptable. Female/male condoms must not be used concomitantly. 11. Male patients, even surgically sterilized (i.e., post-vasectomy), must agree to either: 1. Use effective barrier contraception from ICF signing until 2 months after last DCSZ11 dose, or 2. Practice true abstinence\* when consistent with preferred lifestyle Exclusions as per Criterion 10. 12. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits and procedures per protocol. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Systemic anticancer therapy or investigational products within 6 months prior to first study dose. \*Note: Low-dose corticosteroids (oral prednisolone ≤10 mg daily or equivalent) and therapy with bisphosphonates or RANK ligand (RANKL) inhibitors are permitted.\* 2. Extensive radiotherapy (RT) ≤6 months prior to treatment initiation (\*≤7 days for palliative local RT outside chest/brain\*) OR unresolved RT-related toxicity requiring corticosteroids. 3. Second primary malignancy within 3 years, except: Adequately treated basal cell/locally confined squamous skin cancer Localized prostate cancer Carcinoma in situ of cervix/breast Resected colorectal adenomatous polyps Other malignancies not requiring active anticancer therapy. 4. Known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. 5. Major surgery within 4 weeks or minor surgery within 2 weeks prior to first dose. All wounds must be fully healed without infection/dehiscence, with full recovery and no ongoing surgical complications. 6. Known hypersensitivity to any component of the study drug(s). 7. Prior immunotherapy discontinued due to: Grade ≥3 immune-related adverse events (irAEs) (except endocrinopathies controlled with replacement) Grade 2 myocarditis OR recurrent Grade 2 pneumonitis. 8. Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppression within 2 years. Exempt: Physiologic hormone replacement (thyroxine, insulin, corticosteroids for adrenal/pituitary insufficiency). 9. Immunodeficiency diagnosis OR chronic systemic steroids (\>10 mg prednisolone-equivalent/day) or other immunosuppressants within 7 days prior to first dose. 10. History of lung RT \>30 Gy within 6 months prior to treatment. 11. History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease (ILD) requiring steroids OR current pneumonitis/ILD. 12. History of allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplantation. 13. Live/live-attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks prior to treatment initiation. Inactivated vaccines permitted. 14. Active infection requiring systemic therapy. 15. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive with detectable HBV DNA. 16. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with detectable HCV RNA at screening. 17. History within ≤6 months prior to first dose of: NYHA Class III/IV congestive heart failure Unstable angina Myocardial infarction Symptomatic ischemic heart disease Uncontrolled hypertension despite optimal therapy Persistent symptomatic arrhythmia \>Grade 2 Pericardial effusion/restrictive cardiomyopathy. Permitted: Chronic atrial fibrillation on stable anticoagulation. 18. Any condition compromising informed consent, confounding results, or limiting protocol compliance-including medical/psychiatric/social factors-that, per investigator judgment, contraindicates participation. 19. Pregnant or lactating females.
