Summary
This early-phase trial is testing a new oral drug called MPB-1734 in adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The study has two parts: first, finding the safest dose, and second, testing that dose in specific tumor types. Researchers will monitor side effects and check whether the drug can shrink tumors.
