Summary

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called BMS-986500 in people with advanced solid tumors or breast cancer that has not responded to prior treatments. The study will first test the drug alone, then in combination with other cancer drugs (palbociclib and fulvestrant) for breast cancer patients. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see how the body processes the drug. About 234 participants are being recruited.
