Trial design

Primary purpose: Treatment

Allocation: Randomized

Interventional model: Sequential Assignment

Masking: None (Open label)

---

145 participants in 2 patient groups

Part 1 - Dose Escalation and Backfills

Experimental group

Description:

Aim: Doses of LNCB74 will be escalated to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), maximum administered dose (MAD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). One or more dose levels will be backfilled for safety and additional biomarker data.

Treatment:

Drug: LNCB74

Part 2 - Dose Expansion / Optimization

Experimental group

Description:

Aim: The objectives of the Part 2 Dose Expansion/Optimization are: i) to evaluate safety, tolerability, anti-tumor activity, and pharmacodynamics of LNCB74 in a more homogenous population and ii) characterize the minimally safe and effective dose in a particular tumor type and determine recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D).

Treatment:

Drug: LNCB74
