Summary

This early-phase trial tests an experimental drug called ISM5939, taken as a pill, in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The study will first test the drug alone, then in combination with chemotherapy (cisplatin or docetaxel) or immunotherapy (pembrolizumab). The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see if the drug shows any signs of shrinking tumors.
