YH004 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to 4-1BB, and acts as an agonist against 4-1BB.
This first in human study of YH004 is designed to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of YH004, both as a single agent (monotherapy) and in combination with a fixed dose of anti-PD-1 antibody (Toripalimab) in the treatment of advanced solid tumors and relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

- Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) including determination of DLTs and serious AEs (SAEs) [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]Adverse events will be assessed, and severity will be assigned by using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v5.0
- Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]The MTD and/or RP2D will be determined based on TEAEs
