What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    The ratio of participants assessed with complete response (CR) or partial response(PR) as a best overall response.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    The ratio of subjects assessed with CR or PR or stable disease (SD) as a best overalresponse.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. DRR (Durable Response Rate)

    DRR is defined as the proportion of objective response (CR and PR as determined by the investigator) lasting at least 6 months at any time within 12 months of initiation of treatment.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. DOR (Duration of Response)

    DOR is defined as the time from the date when the PR is first recorded or better to the date when the disease progression is first recorded (for the responder, i.e., PR or better). Responders who did not record disease progress will be censored on the date that the last assessment was SD or better.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. TTR (Response Time)

    TTR is defined as the time from the date of the first administration to the date of the first record of the objective tumor response (CR and PR determined by the investigator).

    Measured: 2 years

  5. PFS (progression-free survival)

    PFS is defined as the duration until disease progression or death in participants fromthe first dose of immunization.

    Measured: 2 years

  6. OS (Overall Survival)

    0S is defined as the duration until death in participants from the first dose ofimmunization.

    Measured: 2 years

  7. TTP (Time to Progression)

    TTP is defined as the time from the date of first dose to the date of first documented disease progression, as defined by standard disease criteria.

    Measured: 2 years

Model description
This single-center, open-label, single-arm trial employs a dose-escalation framework to assess DCSZ11's safety and biological activity when co-administered with guideline-directed standard therapy in advanced solid tumor patients. All participants will maintain fixed chemotherapy/immunotherapy regimens specific to their malignancy, with sole dose variation occurring for DCSZ11. Three subjects in the lead-in cohort will initiate DCSZ11 at 600 mg triweekly. Sequential cohorts will escalate to 800 mg and 1200 mg administered Q3W. The 800 mg tier derives from prior clinical evidence (NCT05785754) evaluating DCSZ11-pembrolizumab combinations. Incorporation of the 600 mg cohort facilitates refined escalation protocols and enhanced resolution in safety/tolerability profiling. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) will undergo surveillance through a 21-day monitoring window. Escalation decisions will implement the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) methodology, with DLT classifications adhering to

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Low Dose DCSZ11, Medium Dose DCSZ11 and High Dose DCSZ11 in people with DCSZ11 and Solid Tumors, run by West China Hospital 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 32 inclusion and 30 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 11 Mar 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 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 Xingchen Peng, Professor (18980606753, pxx2014@163.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: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07035249, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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 11 Mar 2026.
