Summary
This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called AMT-253 in about 96 people with advanced melanoma or other solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The study has two parts: first, finding the safest dose, and then expanding to see how well the drug works. The main goals are to check safety and measure tumor shrinkage.
