BL-M07D1 in Subjects With HER2 Expressing Advanced Malignant Solid Tumors

What is the Purpose of this Study?

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of an experimental drug called BL-M07D1 as a possible treatment for people who have a type of advanced, inoperable cancer that expresses a protein called HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) that has progressed following standard-of-care therapy. HER2 is a protein helps normal cells work properly but in some types of cancers, it behaves abnormally and may make healthy cells become cancer cells. BL-M07D1 is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) that is intended to attack cancer cells that have antibody expression, so-called “targeted chemotherapy.” ADCs deliver chemotherapy by first attaching to a specific protein (HER2) found on cancer cells. After binding to the protein, the ADC releases a cytotoxic drug (chemotherapy) into the cancer cell. Study procedures include physical examination, blood and urine sample collection, imaging scans, tumor biopsy, and drug administration.
