A Study of HLX18 vs. OPDIVO® in Multiple Resected Solid Tumors

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Controlled Phase I Clinical Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetic Profile, Efficacy, Safety and Immunogenicity of HLX18 vs. OPDIVO® (US-sourced OPDIVO®) in Multiple Resected Solid Tumors

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled phase I clinical study to evaluate the similarity in PK profile, efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of HLX18 and OPDIVO® in patients with resected esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer (EC/GEJC), melanoma (MEL), or urothelial carcinoma (UC).

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • History of illicit drug use or alcohol abuse within 12 months prior to randomization.
  • UC-specific surgical exclusions: status post partial cystectomy or partial nephrectomy.
  • EC/GEJC treatment violations: failure to receive mandatory preoperative concurrent CRT (mono-therapy is ineligible).
  • Prior treatment with nivolumab or any other immune checkpoint inhibitors (PD-1, PD-L1, CTLA-4).
  • Use of systemic corticosteroids (\>10 mg/day prednisone equivalent), immunosuppressants, or live vaccines within 28 days.
  • Recent or planned participation in other investigational drug, device, or surgical studies.

Other illness

  • Tumor-specific exclusions: cervical esophageal cancer, Stage IV EC/GEJC, or ocular melanoma.
  • Other primary active malignancies within 5 years or history of organ/bone marrow transplantation.
  • Presence of interstitial pneumonia, pneumonitis, or severe lung function abnormalities.
  • Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppressive therapy.
  • Known HIV infection, active Hepatitis B/C, or active pulmonary tuberculosis.
  • Peripheral neuropathy ≥ Grade 2 or history of carcinomatosis meningitis.
  • Severe allergic reactions to monoclonal antibodies or any condition deemed unsuitable by the investigator.

Lab values

  • Significant cardiovascular disease (MI, cerebrovascular disease) or unstable arrhythmia (QTc \> 450ms/470ms) within 6 months.
  • Chronic heart failure (NYHA Class III-IV) or LVEF \< 50% at screening.

Other

  • The investigator has a clear reason to believe that participation in this study would be detrimental to the participant.

Who the study is looking for

  • Participants must have signed and dated an IRB/IEC approved written informed consent form.
  • Aged 18 to 70 years at the time of signing the ICF.
  • 18 kg/m² ≤ BMI ≤ 30 kg/m² and 50 kg ≤ body weight ≤ 85 kg.
  • Histologically confirmed solid tumors (EC/GEJC, Melanoma, or UC) status post R0 resection.
  • For EC/GEJC: residual pathologic disease (non-pCR) following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and R0 resection.
  • For Melanoma: Stage IIB-IV after complete surgical resection with documented negative margins.
  • For UC: High-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC) following radical resection (R0).
  • Documented disease-free status (no recurrence) by imaging and physical exam within 4 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Adequate recovery from prior surgery or systemic therapy.
  • ECOG Performance Status of 0.
  • Adequate organ function.
  • Agreement to use effective contraception (negative pregnancy test for WOCBP).
