Detailed Description

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

This is an open-label phase I/II clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, MTD/RP2D, pharmacokinetics, preliminary efficacy, and the relationship between AKR1C3 expression and efficacy of AST-3424 monotherapy in advanced solid tumors.

The study is divided into phase I and Phase II. The maximum tolerated dose will be explored in phase I. In phase II, participants will be treated with AST-3424 according to the Phase I confirmed dose. Phase II clinical study will first be conducted in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
