Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot use immunosuppressive medications within 14 days before screening, except for certain exceptions like low-dose prednisone or medications for hypersensitivity reactions.

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing NGM120, a new drug, in patients with advanced solid tumors, pancreatic cancer, and metastatic prostate cancer. The drug works by blocking signals that help cancer cells grow.
