Male and female subjects with child-bearing potential must agree to use at least one highly effective contraception method during the study and within at least 6 months (at least 8 months for Japanese subjects) after the last administration of the investigational product; female subjects of childbearing age must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: Subjects who meet any of the following criteria are not allowed to be enrolled: 1. Patients who have history of other malignant tumors within 2 years prior to the first administration, except for cured cervical carcinoma in situ or cutaneous basal cell carcinoma; 2. Patients who previously have immune-related adverse events (irAEs) ≥ grade 3 in immunotherapy; 3. Patients who have history of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD) requiring steroids, or current ILD, or suspected ILD that cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening; 4. Subjects who are known to have anaphylaxis to protein preparations/monoclonal antibodies or are allergic to any component in the formulation of the investigational product; 5. Patients who have active systemic infectious diseases requiring intravenous antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to the first administration of the investigational product; 6. Subjects who have any poorly-controlled cardiovascular and cerebrovascular clinical symptoms or diseases, including but not limited to: (1) NYHA Class II or greater heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50%; (2) unstable angina pectoris; (3) myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident within 6 months (except for lacunar infarction, slight cerebral ischemia, or transient ischemic attack); (4) poorly controlled arrhythmia (including QTc intervals ≥ 450 ms for males and ≥ 470 ms for females) (QTc intervals are calculated by Fridericia's formula); (5) poorly-controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg after active treatment); 7. Patients who have been assessed as unsuitable for inclusion by the investigator, due to brain metastases, spinal cord compression, or cancerous meningitis with clinical symptoms, or uncontrolled brain or spinal cord metastases that have been evidenced; Note: Patients with asymptomatic or stable brain metastases, spinal cord compression, or cancerous meningitis as judged by the investigator are allowed to be enrolled; 8. Patients with known active or suspected autoimmune diseases. Those with autoimmune-related hypothyroidism and receiving thyroid hormone replacement therapy and those with type 1 diabetes mellitus controlled with insulin therapy are eligible to be enrolled; 9. Patients who have received systemic corticosteroids (prednisone > 10 mg/day or an equivalent dose of a similar drug) or other immunosuppressive agents within 14 days prior to the first administration; Except for the following circumstances: patients treated with topical, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, and inhaled corticosteroids; those with short-term use of corticosteroids for prophylaxis if a contrast agent is used; 10. Patients who have used potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP2D6 or CYP3A within 2 weeks prior to the first administration; 11. Patients with active tuberculosis; 12.

Patients with active HBV or HCV infection or HBV/HCV co-infection; Note: Patients who are HBsAg (+) and/or HBcAb (+) must undergo an HBV-DNA test and have a result of < 500 IU/mL, < 2500 copies/mL, or < ULN to be enrolled. Eligible subjects with detectable HBV-DNA must agree to receive anti-hepatitis B virus nucleoside treatment. Patients who are HCV antibody (+) must undergo an HCV-RNA test and have a result < ULN to be enrolled. Subjects with HBV/HCV co-infection shall be excluded (positive for HBsAg or HBcAb and positive for HCV antibody) 14. Patients who have received live vaccines within 28 days prior to the first administration; 15. Pregnant or lactating women (for Japanese subjects, pregnancy includes situations where the investigator believes that the subject may be pregnant, and lactating women can be enrolled in the study if breastfeeding is stopped, but breastfeeding cannot be resumed after receiving the study treatment); 16. Subjects who are not suitable for participating in this clinical study due to any clinical or laboratory abnormalities or other reasons as assessed by the investigator.

This study is an open-label first-in-human phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety,
tolerability , and pharmacokinetic characteristics of HLX43 with escalated doses in the
treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors.
In the phase Ia of this study, a 3 + 3 dose escalation method will be adopted, and the
patients will be administered with HLX43 at different doses via intravenous infusion. The
DLT observation period lasts for 3 weeks after the first administration of HLX43.
In phase Ib of this study, The Safety Review Committee will recommend dose groups for
expansion based on the safety, efficacy and PK data of the dose escalation phase. The
dose expansion part will include 4 cohorts: advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC) patients with prior failed standard treatment or no standard treatment
available, advanced/metastatic thymic carcinoma (TC) patients with prior failed first
line platinum based standard treatment, advanced/metastatic NSCLC patients with prior
failed standard treatment and docetaxel treatment, and stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV NSCLC
patients who have not received any prior treatment with positive PD-L1 expression and no
EGFR sensitizing mutation or ALK/ROS gene rearrangement.
