About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multicenter, Phase I Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic (PK) Characteristics and Preliminary Efficacy of BC008-1A Injection in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

The goal of this study is to learn if BC008-1A given 900mg or 1200mg intravenously once every 3 weeks is safe and effective to treat patients with advanced esophageal cancer or advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It will also learn about the safety and pharmacokinetics of BC008-1A.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label clinical study aims to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic characteristics and preliminary efficacy of BC008-1A injection in subjects with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and advanced non-small cell lung cancer (squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma). There are two cohorts. Cohort 1 selects patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and Cohort 2 selects subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma) with a PD-L1 TPS (Tumor Proportion Score) of ≥1%.

Cohort 1: Two dose groups will be set up. Subjects with advanced esophageal cancer will enter the low-dose group (900mg) or the high-dose group (1200mg) in parallel. Each subject will only receive the experimental drug of one dose group and will not participate in the studies of the other dose group.

Cohort 2: Two dose groups will be set up. Subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma) will enter the low-dose group (900mg) or the high-dose group (1200mg) in parallel. Each subject will only receive the experimental drug of one dose group and will not participate in the studies of the other dose group.

For both Cohort 1 and Cohort 2, BC008-1A injection will be administered once every 3 weeks, and 21 days will be regarded as one cycle. Subjects will continue to take the drug until disease progression occurs, or intolerable toxicity develops, or they are lost to follow-up, or withdraw their informed consent, or start a new anti-tumor treatment, or the investigator decides to withdraw them based on the subject's benefit situation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BC008-1A 900mg and BC008-1A 1200mg in people with Advanced Esophageal Cancers and Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), run by Sichuan Luzhou Buchang Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. 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 12 inclusion and 20 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 9 Jul 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 Jianing Wang (86-13802107048, wangjianing@buchangbio.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: Up to 2 years). 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 9 Jul 2025.
