What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of ABBV-303, an investigational drug, both alone and in combination with another investigational drug, budigalimab, in adults with advanced solid tumors. Participants will receive intravenous infusions of ABBV-303 at escalating doses, either as a monotherapy or in combination with budigalimab. The study aims to enroll approximately 181 adult participants with various types of relapsed or refractory solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer and renal cell carcinoma. The study will assess how well these treatments work and their safety profile.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with relapsed or refractory solid tumors who meet specific health criteria.

Not a fit: Patients with unresolved adverse events from prior therapies or those with certain infections may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored similar combinations of investigational drugs, but the specific approach of this study is novel.
