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.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced melanoma or other solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
