Summary

This study tests a drug called tisotumab vedotin, alone or with other cancer medicines, in people with advanced colorectal, lung, pancreatic, or head and neck cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments. About 350 participants receive different dosing schedules to see if the drug shrinks tumors and what side effects occur. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
