A Phase II Clinical Study to Evaluate HLX43 in Patients With Recurrent/Metastatic ESCC Failed or Intolerance to Standard Therapy

Is NCT06769113 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including HLX43 DOSE 1 and HLX43 DOSE 2 for esophageal cancer.

Phase 2RecruitingShanghai Henlius BiotechNCT06769113Data as of May 2026

Treatment: HLX43 DOSE 1 · HLX43 DOSE 2 · HLX43 DOSE 3The study is being conducted to explore the reasonable dosage and evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of HLX43 (Anti-PD-L1 ADC) in Patients with Recurrent/Metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinomar (ESCC) Failed or Intolerance to Standard First-Line Therapy.
