Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in the study:

  1. Patient received systemic chemotherapy, small molecular target therapy, hormone therapy, or herbal medication with anti-cancer indication within 2 weeks prior to start of study drug; or received biological anti-cancer products (such as antibody, antibody-drug conjugate \[ADC\]) within 4 weeks or 5 half-life time prior to start of study drug (whichever is shorter). For cytotoxic agents with major delayed toxicity (such as nitrosourea or mitomycin C), 6 weeks of washout are mandated.
  2. Patients who have undergone radical radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, or have undergone brain stereotactic radiotherapy or whole brain radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, or have undergone palliative radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, or have used a radioactive drug (Strontium, Samarium, etc.) within 8 weeks prior to the first dose of the study drug.
  3. Patient has received any other anti-cancer therapies targeting at CLDN6.
  4. Patient has persisting toxicity of \> Grade 1 (NCI CTCAE v5.0) relating to prior anti-cancer therapy with the exceptions of alopecia and endocrine dysfunction which could be managed by replacement therapy.
  5. Patient has active or uncontrolled infections, which require systemic treatment of antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals, within 2 weeks prior to start of study drug.
  6. Patient has meningeal metastases (symptomatic or asymptomatic), or has symptomatic or uncontrolled brain metastases or spinal cord compression. Patients with asymptomatic brain metastases (longest diameter of brain lesion ≤ 3 cm) can be enrolled only if treated, non-progressive brain metastases and off high-dose steroids (\> 20 mg prednisone or equivalent) for at least 4 weeks. If the patient has previously received antiepileptic treatment for central nervous system (CNS) metastases, antiepileptic medications should be discontinued for at least 2 weeks (14 days) prior to start of study drug.
  7. Patient has uncontrolled pleural, peritoneal or pericardial effusion. Asymptomatic and stable effusion could be enrolled if any one of the following criteria is met:

     * If previous imaging indicated the presence of effusion, subsequent imaging shows a reduction, no change, or a slight increase of the effusion volume, and the patient has no effusion related symptom.
     * If puncture drainage or other therapy was performed, reexamination after an interval of 2 weeks at least shows no significant increase of the effusion volume, and the patient has no effusion related symptom.
  8. Patients who have other malignancies requiring treatment within 5 years prior to the first dose of study drug will be excluded, except for radically treated locally curable basal or squamous cell skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, papillary thyroid carcinoma, breast ductal carcinoma in situ and other malignancies with favorable prognosis that have been treated with no relapse within 5 years.
  9.

      * QTcF prolongation \>470 ms, or risk factors for Torsades de Pointes (such as congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome, unexplained sudden death under the age of 40 years old in first-degree relatives, severe hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, concomitant use of medication which has known risk of QT prolongation).
  12. Patient with history of cerebrovascular diseases (including but not limited to stroke or transient ischemic attack) within 6 months prior to the first dose.
  13. Patient with uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg despite treatment), or uncontrolled diabetes despite treatment.
  14. Patient with active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, defined as positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), and HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) levels higher than 200 IU/mL or 1000 copies/mL.
  15. Patient with active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, defined as positive hepatitis C antibody (HCV-Ab) and HCV-ribonucleic acid (RNA) quantified above the upper limit of the normal detection units.
