Phase I Study of BC008-1A Injection in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

1. Cohort 1:

   Patients with inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma confirmed by histopathology or cytology. Those who have failed standard treatment or have no effective standard treatment available; Patients can provide the results of PD-L1 expression status within 1 year or agree to provide archived pathological tissues or fresh tissues within 1 year for testing.

   Cohort 2:

   Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma) confirmed by histology or cytology, who have failed standard treatment or have no effective standard treatment available; Patients can provide archived pathological tissues or fresh pathological tissues within 1 year for PD-L1 testing, and the PD-L1 Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) ≥ 1%.

2. Sign a written informed consent form before any study-specific procedures and be able to follow the visit schedules and related procedures stipulated in the protocol.
3. Male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years old.
4. Expected survival time ≥ 12 weeks.
5. According to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), there should be at least one measurable tumor lesion shown by CT or MRI examination (lesions that have not received radiotherapy before). If a lesion located in the irradiated area that has received radiotherapy previously clearly shows progression meeting the RECIST 1.1 criteria, such lesion can be regarded as a measurable lesion.
6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score is 0 or 1.

7. Have sufficient hematopoietic, liver and kidney functions and meet the following laboratory test results before enrollment (no use of any cell growth factors, platelet or red blood cell transfusions, etc. within 1 week before the first dose of study treatment):

   Basically normal hematopoietic system: Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 109/L, Platelet (PLT) ≥ 90 × 109/L, Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 90 g/L; Basically normal liver function: Total Bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (for subjects with liver metastases, Total Bilirubin ≤ 2.5 × ULN), Alanine Transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN, Aspartate Transaminase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN (for subjects with liver metastases, ALT ≤ 5 × ULN, AST ≤ 5 × ULN), Alkaline Phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × ULN (for subjects with liver or bone metastases, Alkaline Phosphatase ≤ 5 × ULN), Plasma Albumin (ALB) ≥ 28 g/L; Basically normal kidney function: Creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, or Creatinine Clearance ≥ 50 mL/min (calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula); Basically normal coagulation function: International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN or Prothrombin Time (PT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN or Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (for subjects receiving anticoagulant therapy, the investigator judges that INR, PT and APTT are all within the safe and effective treatment range without clinical conditions of active bleeding or increased bleeding risk).

8. Female subjects of childbearing age or male subjects whose partners are women of childbearing age must take effective contraceptive measures throughout the treatment period and within 6 months after the treatment period.

3. Having received any investigational drugs within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of the study drug.
4. Having an autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune diseases or related symptoms.
5.

6. Having been treated with corticosteroid drugs or other immunosuppressive agents within 4 weeks before the first administration of the study drug.
7. Having received a live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before the first administration of the study drug or planning to receive it during the study period.
8. Having toxicity that has not recovered to grade 0 or 1 according to the NCI-CTCAE v5.0 caused by previous anti-tumor treatment within 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment (excluding alopecia, fatigue or vitiligo), having unstable neuropathy or > grade 2 neuropathy induced by previous anti-tumor treatment, including having unresolved immune-related adverse events (irAE) after receiving immunotherapy and those who have experienced irAE ≥ grade 3.
9. Having a history of pneumonia requiring steroid treatment, or having interstitial lung disease (including both past and present medical history).
10. Currently having an active infection (e.g., acute bacterial infection, tuberculosis, active hepatitis B/hepatitis C, pulmonary infection, etc.).
11. Known to have central nervous system (CNS) metastasis and/or spinal cord compression and/or carcinomatous meningitis, or having a history of leptomeningeal carcinoma.
12.
