YH02 Injection for Intra-tumor Injection Therapy in Advanced Solid Tumors With Unresponsive or Failure-Treated Cases

Plain-language summary
The preclinical pharmacological mechanism of YH02 injection is well established. By constructing a vector expressing MMP13, introducing a human S promoter, and genetically modifying the capsid protein, the virus's permeability, tumor targeting capability, and infection efficiency were significantly enhanced. Preclinical pharmacodynamic studies demonstrated that YH02 exhibits potent tumor growth inhibitory effects in various human-and murine-derived solid tumor models (including breast cancer, liver cancer, and melanoma). Given that oncolytic virus therapies already have approved products with demonstrated safety and efficacy worldwide, this study may offer potential clinical benefits for patients with advanced solid tumors who have failed standard treatments.
YH02 injection has undergone an open-label, dose-escalating, and expanded Phase I clinical study in China aimed at evaluating the safety, tolerability, biodistribution characteristics, viral clearance, and immunogenicity of intratumoral administration of YH02 injection in patients with advanced solid tumors who have failed adequate standard therapy and lack effective treatment options, while preliminarily investigating its efficacy. No high-grade adverse drug reactions (ADRs) have been observed to date, nor were there any serious adverse events (SAEs), severe adverse drug reactions (SUSARs), or fatal events. The clinical safety and tolerability of this product for intratumoral administration are favorable.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age: ≥18 years.
* Resectable malignant solid tumors confirmed by histology or cytology (including head and neck cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, cervical cancer, skin malignancies, salivary gland carcinoma, oropharyngeal carcinoma, etc.) should prioritize treatment options for head and neck cancer, breast cancer, and melanoma.
* After complete failure of standard treatment (disease progression or intolerance to therapy) and in the absence of effective therapeutic options.
* There must be at least one measurable lesion (according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria), and the lesion must be suitable for intratumoral injection.
* ECOG score ≤2.
* The expected survival period is ≥12 weeks.
* The subject must demonstrate adequate hematological and organ function, with all laboratory parameters evaluated within 7 days prior to the initial administration and meeting the following criteria: Hematologic system (no recent transfusion or hematopoietic stimulation therapy within 14 days): ANC ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L; PLT ≥ 80 × 10⁹/L; Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 85 g/L; Liver function: Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (≤ 3.0 × ULN for patients with Gilbert syndrome or liver metastases/hepatocellular carcinoma); Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN; For patients with liver metastases or hepatocellular carcinoma: ALT ≤ 5 × ULN; Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN; Albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dL; Renal function: Creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN; or Creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≥ 30…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
