A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of LRK-4189 Alone and in Combination in Patients With Solid Tumors

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if investigational agent LRK-4189 works to treat solid tumors in adults, with a focus on colorectal cancer. It will also learn about the safety of drug LRK-4189.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is LRK-4189, administered alone or in combination with standard chemotherapy regimens, safe and tolerable in patients with solid tumors?

Participants will:

* Take investigational agent LRK-4189 alone or in combination with standard chemotherapy regimens every day for up to 3 years. * Visit the clinic once every week for checkups and tests.
