Full description

This is a phase I, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of LM-061 in subjects with advanced tumors.

The study schedule includes screening visit (28 days prior to accept the investigational medicinal product (IMP)), treatment visit (accept IMP for the first time to the end of treatment (EOT)/early withdrawal), and follow-up visit (28 days after the EOT/early withdrawal).

Enrollment: 18 patients

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Exclusion criteria
