Summary

This study tests a new drug called IMC-R117C, alone or with other cancer drugs, in people with advanced colorectal, esophageal, stomach, or ovarian cancers that have a specific genetic marker (HLA-A*02:01) and produce a protein called PIWIL1. The trial aims to find safe doses and check if the drug can shrink tumors. About 600 participants will be enrolled.
