What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• JNJ-70218902

Trial Overview The study is testing JNJ-70218902 to find the safest and most effective dose for Phase 2 trials. Part 1 of the study will determine the maximum tolerated dose and Part 2 will assess safety at this recommended dose in participants with advanced stage solid tumors.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Part 2: Dose Expansion Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Participants with mCRPC will receive JNJ-70218902 at the RP2D determined in Part 1.

Group II: Part 1: Dose Escalation Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) will receive JNJ-70218902. The dose levels will be escalated sequentially based on the decisions of the Study Evaluation Team (SET) until the recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) has been identified.
