Full Title
A Multicenter Phase 1-2A Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Antitumor Activity of LNS8801 in Patients With Advanced Cancer With and Without PembrolizumabPurpose
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug LNS8801 with and without pembrolizumab immunotherapy in people with advanced melanoma. LNS8801 works to reduce levels of a growth protein called MYC. By reducing these levels, LNS8801 may slow the growth of cancer, shrink the cancer, and help the immune system remove cancer from the body. Pembrolizumab boosts the ability of the immune system to find and kill cancer cells.
Doctors believe that using LNS8801 and pembrolizumab together is more effective than using either medication alone. Participants will receive either LNS8801 alone or with pembrolizumab. LNS8801 is taken orally (by mouth) and pembrolizumab is given intravenously (by vein).
