Summary

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called AEB1102 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments or for which no standard treatment exists. The main goal is to find the highest dose that is safe and to understand the drug's side effects. Participants receive the drug through an IV, and the study will monitor their health closely.
