About this study
Official title: A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Anti-tumor Activity of SSGJ-709 in Patients With Advanced Malignant Tumors
This study is an open-label phase I study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of SSGJ-709 as a single agent in patients with advanced malignancies.
Read the detailed description
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn more about a new drug called SSGJ-709 . The primary aim of this clinical trial is to test the safety of SSGJ-709 at different dose levels on patients with advanced malignant tumors. The clinical trial consists of two phases. The dose escalation phase involves the process of gradually increasing the amount of drug given to find the highest dose that is safe and effective. The dose expansion phase involves the process of giving a drug at a specific dose to a larger group of participants to further evaluate its safety and effectiveness.
Participants will:
- Receive SSGJ-709 infusion once every 3 weeks
- Visit the clinic once every 3 weeks for checkups and tests
- Conditions
- Advanced Malignant Tumors
- Being tested
- SSGJ-709
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
SSGJ-709Drug
A bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and LAG-3.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental: SSGJ-709 | Experimental | In dose escalation phase, SSGJ-709 will be conducted using accelerated titration and traditional 3+3 design. Dose Escalation Level includes 5 levels, Q3W IV. During or after dose escalation, any dose level that does not exceed the MTD can be expanded. Receives: Drug: SSGJ-709 |

ORR
ORR ( objective response rate) is the proportion of subjects with complete response(CR) or partial response(PR), evaluated by the investigators per RECIST v1.1
Measured: every 6 weeks after first dose, through study completion, an average of 1 year
PFS assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization till the first documentation of disease progression assessed by the investigator or death due to any cause (whichever occurs first).
Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing SSGJ-709 in people with Advanced Malignant Tumors, run by Shenyang Sunshine Pharmaceutical Co., LTD. at 1 site in Australia.
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 6 inclusion and 13 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 28 Jan 2026. 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 Australia. 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 Andrew Parsonson (+61 2 9812 3538, andrew.parsonson@mqhealth.org.au), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence of DLT (time frame: 21 days). The study lists 2 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 28 Jan 2026.
