Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Dose Escalation; Up to 9 dose cohorts will be sequentially enrolled in the dose escalation part using an accelerated titration combined with the standard "BOIN" dose escalation algorithm approach.	Drug: LB4330; LB4330
Experimental: Single Drug Expansion; To further evaluate the safety, tolerance and preliminary clinical efficacy of LB4330 single drug in specific tumor species, the planned expanded cohort and number of subjects are as follows: Cohort A: LB4330 single drug therapy, 10 patients with advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma with Claudin 18.2 expression;Cohort B: LB4330 single drug therapy, 5 patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with Claudin 18.2 expression; Cohort C: LB4330 single drug therapy, other advanced solid tumor patients with Claudin 18.2 expression, a total of 8-15 cases.	Drug: LB4330; LB4330

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. MTD/RP2D [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 8 months. ]
   The MTD will be determined using the method of sequential regression in the "Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN)" design. This calculation can be realized by "Select MTD" in BOIN online software. Specifically, the dose that the toxicity rate estimated by sequential regression is closest to the target toxicity rate is selected as the maximum tolerable dose (MTD); If two or more doses meet this condition, select the higher (when the maintenance regression estimate is lower than the target toxicity rate) or lower (when the maintenance regression estimate is equal to or higher than the target toxicity rate) dose group.
2. DLT occurrence and frequency (dose escalation phase) [ Time Frame: The first period of LB4330 treatment (28 days for the first subject in the first dose group, 21 days for the rest subjects. If the administration is delayed, the DLT evaluation period should be extended to 7 days after the third administration) ]
   The DLT for this study is defined according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 5.0 and will be evaluated in the dose escalation part, the first 28 days (Cycle 1) of treatment.
3. AE, SAE occurrence and frequency (according to NCI CTCAE 5.0) [ Time Frame: up to 90 days following last dose ]
   According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.0.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Serum PK parameters [ Time Frame: Up to finished treatment ]
   AUC0-t and so on.
2. Pharmacodynamic index [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 8 months. ]
   Pharmacodynamic index: percentage of monocytes
3. Immunogenicity [ Time Frame: up to 90 days following last dose ]
   Immunogenicity index: positive rate, titer and duration of ADA and Nab (if ADA is positive)
4. Overall response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 8 months. ]
   Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 and Immunotherapeutics Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST).
5. Disease control rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 8 months. ]
   Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 and Immunotherapeutics Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST).
6. Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 8 months. ]
   Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 and Immunotherapeutics Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST).
7. Duration of response (DOR) [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 8 months. ]
   Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 and Immunotherapeutics Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST).
8. OS [ Time Frame: through study completion，an average of 1 year ]
   Total survival period (OS): It is defined as the time from the start of using the study drug to the death due to any reason.
9. Biomarker [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 8 months. ]
   Biomarker: relationship between Claudin 18.2 expression level in tumor tissue and clinical response
