Summary

This trial is testing a new drug called LGK974 to see if it is safe and effective in treating adults with cancer that has progressed despite standard therapy or for which no effective standard therapy exists.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced cancers like melanoma, cervical, esophageal, colorectal, and breast cancer that have worsened despite treatment or lack a standard therapy. Eligible participants include those with certain genetic mutations or who've had specific prior treatments. People with heart issues, bone diseases, other active cancers, untreated brain metastases, severe autoimmune conditions or allergies to monoclonal antibodies can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and optimal dosing of LGK974 alone and combined with PDR001 in patients. It aims to determine how well these drugs can be tolerated by individuals whose cancers are reliant on Wnt ligands for growth and who have exhausted other treatment options.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs; gastrointestinal disturbances which could affect drug absorption; bone-related issues; and possibly increased susceptibility to infections due to immune response alterations.
