Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of the study drug AO-252 and identify the best dose for use in future studies.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability including determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). The study will also look at pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of AO-252 as a monotherapy in participants with advanced or metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), high- grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), and endometrial cancer
