Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Escalation cohorts: Approximately 60 participants may be enrolled in the escalation cohorts (approximately 30 participants for monotherapy and 30 participants for combination therapy).
Expansion cohorts: The total number of subjects in the expansion cohorts will depend on the observed pharmacokinetic and antitumor activity. It is estimated that approximately 240 participants may be enrolled in the monotherapy and combination therapy expansion cohorts.
As the number of participants in the escalation cohorts and the expansion cohorts will depend on the observed Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT), pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity, approximately 300 participants are expected to be enrolled.
