Treatment and study plan

LNCB74

Drug

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.
