About this study
In plain language
This study tests SYS6043 in adults with solid tumors that are advanced or have spread, when standard treatments are no longer an option. Researchers will check its safety, side effects, and safe dose, and look for early signs that it slows or shrinks tumors. SYS6043 is given through a vein once every 3 weeks.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if investigational drug called SYS6043 works in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have spread or cannot be treated with standard therapies. The main goals of the study are to understand how safe SYS6043 is, what side effects it may cause, and what dose can be given safely. Researchers will also study how the drug moves through the body and whether the immune system reacts to it. In addition, the study will look for early signs that SYS6043 may help slow or shrink tumors and explore whether the amount of a tumor protein called B7-H3 is related to how well the treatment works. Participants will: * Provide written informed consent * Undergo screening tests to ensure they are eligible for study treatment * Attend all required study visits and receive SYS6043 by intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks (Q3W), with 21 days as one treatment cycle until the study doctor determines that study treatment should be stopped based on how well a participant is doing on treatment. * Have safety follow-up (SFU), and long-term follow-up. * Be followed until progression.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Have a solid tumor confirmed by tissue or cell tests that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. Cancer must have returned or worsened during or after standard drug treatment, with no standard treatment available or tolerable.
- Have at least one tumor that can be measured. Some people with prostate cancer that has spread only to bones may qualify after special review.
- Be expected to live at least 3 months.
- Be fully active or able to do light work, with no decline in this activity level during the 28 days before joining.
- Have a heart scan within 28 days before joining showing that the heart pumps out at least 50% of its blood with each beat.
Who can't join
- Past treatment targeting the B7-H3 protein, or an antibody-linked drug carrying a topoisomerase inhibitor, such as trastuzumab deruxtecan.
- Heart failure with symptoms, a past severe irregular heartbeat needing treatment, or a heart attack or unstable chest pain within the past 6 months.
- Heart tests showing a QTcF above 470 milliseconds, meaning the heart takes too long to reset between beats, or being unable or unwilling to stop medicines that cause this.
- Past, current, or suspected lung scarring or inflammation; serious lung disease or injury; need for extra oxygen; or a lung blood clot within 3 months before treatment. Immune or inflammatory diseases affecting the lungs also exclude you.
- An uncontrolled infection needing medicines through a vein, another active serious infection, hepatitis C meeting the study's test limits, a positive HIV antibody test, or a confirmed positive syphilis antibody test.
- Hepatitis B that does not meet the study's virus-level and treatment rules. Some people with hepatitis B must take treatment for at least 2 weeks before SYS6043 and continue during the study.
- Being pregnant or breastfeeding, even if willing to stop breastfeeding for a while.
- Pressure on the spinal cord, or active cancer spread to the brain or its coverings that is untreated, causes symptoms, or needs steroids or seizure medicines.

Official eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Major: * Aged ≥18 years old (on the date of signing the ICF). * Advanced/unresectable or metastatic solid tumors confirmed by histology or cytology, disease recurrence or progression during or after systemic standard of care, and should be intolerant of or have no available standard of care therapy. * Have at least one measurable lesion, according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST V1.1). Participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have only metastases to bone will be evaluated through discussion with the sponsor's medical monitor, before determining whether they can be enrolled. * Expected life expectancy of ≥ 3 months. * ECOG performance status of 0-1 and no worsening of the score within 28 days prior to enrollment. * LVEF ≥ 50% as shown by ECHO or MUGA within 28 days prior to enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: Major: * Prior B7-H3 targeted therapy. * Previously received drug therapy with topoisomerase inhibitor antibody-drug conjugate (e.g., trastuzumab deruxtecan). * Symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF) (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class II-IV) or a history of severe arrhythmia requiring treatment. * History of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months prior to enrollment. * Based on the results of three 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) examinations, the mean QT interval (QTcF) corrected by the Fridericia formula for both males and females is prolonged to \>470 ms. * Unable or unwilling to discontinue concomitant medications known to prolong the QT interval. * History of interstitial lung disease (e.g., ILD/non-infectious pneumonia requiring glucocorticoid treatment in the past), or currently have interstitial lung disease, or are suspected to have such diseases through imaging examinations during screening. * History of underlying lung disorders, including but not limited to pulmonary embolism within 3 months prior to the start of study treatment, severe asthma, severe COPD, restrictive pulmonary disease, and other clinically significant lung injuries or requiring supplemental oxygen. * Any autoimmune diseases, connective tissue disorders, or inflammatory diseases involving the lungs recorded or suspected during screening (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, etc.). * Presence of uncontrolled infection requiring intravenous injection of antibiotics, antiviral drugs, or antifungal drugs. * Active and clinically significant bacterial, fungal, viral infection, or Hepatitis C infection at screening (HCV antibodies test positive and HCV-RNA levels higher than the lower limit of quantification or 1000 copies/mL (whichever is lower); HIV antibody positive or syphilis antibody positive (with confirmation).. * HBsAg positive and HBV-DNA above the lower limit of quantification or 1,000 copies/mL (500 IU/mL) (whichever is lower). Liver tumor: For participants with liver metastases and HBV infection, HBV DNA must be \<2000 IU/mL before the first dose. Participants who are HBsAg-positive and/or HBV DNA-positive should receive at least 2 weeks of anti-Hepatitis B virus treatment prior to the first dose and be willing to continue treatment during the study. * Lactating women (women who are willing to temporarily discontinue breastfeeding will also be excluded), or women confirmed to be pregnant by pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment. * Presence of spinal cord compression or clinically active brain metastasis, and/or meningeal metastases, defined as untreated, symptomatic, or requiring corticosteroids or anticonvulsants.
