Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The proposed clinical trial is a phase I, open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation study of ALT-803 in patients with surgically incurable advanced solid tumors: melanoma, renal cell, non-small cell lung and squamous cell head and neck cancer

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
