Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Part 1 - Dose Escalation and Backfills

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.

experimental: Part 2 - Dose Expansion / Optimization

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).

Interventions

LNCB74

LNCB74 is an antibody drug conjugate being evaluated as a potential treatment for participants with advanced solid tumors. Participants will receive LNCB74 into the vein (IV; intravenously) in 21-day dosing cycles. Participants will continue treatment in the absence of unacceptable toxicities and unequivocal disease progression.

Primary outcome measure

  • Evaluate the safety and tolerability of LNCB74 [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
  • Define a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of LNCB74 [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]
