Key information

About this study

The study will be conducted in two parts. The first part is dose escalation and the second part is dose Expansion.During the course of dose escalation, 18-27 subjects will be enrolled to assess the safety、tolerability、pharmacokinetics、preliminary efficacy ,and determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose(MTD) of Paclitaxel Micelles for Injection, and explore phase II clinical dosages. The second part will be adjusted according to the result of the first part. It will be divided into 4 groups, including advanced breast cancer group, ovarian cancer group, non-small cell lung cancer group and gastric cancer group, with 20 subjects in each group, to further evaluate the safety, tolerance, PK and anti-tumor activity of paclitaxel micelle.
