What this trial studies

This is an open-label, phase 1 study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LNCB74 in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study will involve dose escalation and expansion to determine the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended phase 2 dose. Participants will be required to provide tumor tissue samples and may undergo fresh tumor biopsies during the study. The focus is on patients with various types of advanced cancers, including ovarian, breast, endometrial, biliary tract, and non-small cell lung cancer.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with advanced unresectable and/or metastatic solid tumors who can provide informed consent and meet specific health criteria.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a positive pregnancy test will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

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

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches in targeting advanced solid tumors, indicating potential for success.
