Summary

This early-phase study tested a combination of two drugs, sapanisertib and ziv-aflibercept, in 83 adults with advanced solid tumors that had spread or could not be removed by surgery. The goal was to find the safest dose and understand side effects. The drugs work by blocking signals that help cancer cells grow and by cutting off the tumor's blood supply.
