- Registration Number
- NCT05204862
- Lead Sponsor
- TiumBio Co., Ltd.
- Brief Summary
This study consists of Part A for monotherapy and Part B for combination therapy to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of TU2218 in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Overall Survival (OS) Date of First Study Treatment to Death from Any Cause (up to 24 months) OS is determined from the date of first study treatment until death due to any cause.
Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of TU2218 for TU2218 alone and in combination with anti-PD1 antibody Cycle 1 Cmax is defined as the maximum observed concentration of the drug in plasma.
Progression Free Survival (PFS) over 24 weeks PFS is defined as the time from the date of first study treatment to the first evidence of disease progression as defined by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or iRECIST.
