Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Written informed consent is obtained prior to any procedures that are not considered standard of care
- ≥18 years of age.
- Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors, who have failed or are ineligible for standard of care therapies.
- Have progressed on at least one prior systematic anti-tumor regimen, and presence of at least one evaluable lesion according to RECIST Version 1.1. Measurable lesions are required in the backfill period.
- In the backfill period, eligible tumor types are limited to high-grade serous ovarian cancer, high-grade endometrioid ovarian cancer, USC, clear cell RCC, papillary RCC and adenocarcinoma of NSCLC without actionable mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). For participants with NSCLC, presence of CDH6 expression through immunohistochemical examination of tumor tissue by central laboratory is required.
- In Part 2: Participants must have a diagnosis of specific type of metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors and have progressed on or cannot benefit from the most recent systematic anti-tumor regimen (unless otherwise specified), with presence of at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST Version 1.1. Platinum-resistant ovarian cancer cohort: a. Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed high-grade serous ovarian cancer, high-grade endometrioid ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. Renal cell carcinoma cohort: a. Participants with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed clear cell RCC or papillary RCC. Uterine serous carcinoma cohort: a. Participants with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed USC. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer cohort:
- Participants with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed adenocarcinoma of NSCLC without actionable mutation of EGFR.
- Presence of CDH6 expression through immunohistochemical examination of tumor tissue. 5\. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1. 6\. Life expectancy of ≥12 weeks. 7. Have adequate organ function as indicated by the laboratory values listed within the protocol. 8\. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP)must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to the start of study treatment. WOCBP or male participants are required to use highly effective contraceptive methods , and agree to refrain from donating sperm/egg from signing of informed consent through 180 days after the last dose of study treatment. 9\. Able to provide tumor tissue sample (archival or newly obtained core or excisional biopsy) at biomarker-screening (for NSCLC in both Part 1 and 2) or screening (for non-NSCLC in Part 1) visit of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated for CDH6 testing.
Exclusion criteria
- For Part 2: has clear cell, mucinous or sarcomatous histology, mixed tumors containing any histology, or low-grade/borderline ovarian cancer; mixed nonsmall cell and small cell carcinoma, or adenosquamous cell lung cancer with an adenocarcinoma component \<50% (the participant is eligible if the adenocarcinoma component is ≥50%).
- Any other malignancy within 2 years prior to the first dose of the study treatment except for localized cancers that are considered to have been cured and in the opinion of the Investigator present a low risk for recurrence.
- Participant has symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases, or CNS metastases requiring CNS-directed local therapy (such as radiotherapy or surgery) or corticosteroids therapy within 2 weeks of first dose of study treatment.
- History of bowel obstruction within 3 months prior to the first dose of study treatment.
- Known psychiatric disorder or drug abuse that would interfere the study requirements.
- Uncontrollable pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring drainage or medical intervention within 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment.
- Any active infection requires systemic treatment via intravenous infusion within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.
- History of non-infectious pneumonitis that has required a course of oral or intravenous steroids to assist with recovery, or interstitial lung disease (ILD) or severe obstructive pulmonary disease.
- Prior exposure to other CDH6-targeted agents or an ADC with a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload (e.g., raludotatug deruxtecan/DS-6000). 12\. Major surgery within 2 weeks of receiving the first dose of study treatment. 13\. Has received prior anti-cancer therapies within the following time frames prior to the first dose of study treatment; Previous cytotoxic therapy, anticancer targeted small molecules (e.g., tyrosine kinase inhibitors), hormonal agents within 2 weeks, Anti-cancer antibody or ADC within 5 half-lives or 4 weeks (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of study treatment, Chinese medicines/herbal preparations with anticancer indication taken within 2 weeks and/or Radiation therapy \<4 weeks. 14\. Use of any live vaccine therapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment. 15\. Administration of below medications≤14 days prior to the first dose of SIM0505; Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors and Drugs with known risk of Torsades de Pointes (TdP). 16\. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). 17\. Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection 18. Participants with clinically significant cardiovascular diseases. 19. History of allogeneic organ transplantation or graft-versus-host disease. 20. Known hypersensitivity to study drug or any of the excipients. 21. Participant is pregnant or breastfeeding. 22. Other conditions that researchers consider inappropriate for inclusion.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
