Brief summary

This is a Phase 1 dose-escalation and cohort expansion study that will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary activity of LUNA18 when administered as a single agent or in combination with other anti-cancer drugs in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Inclusion criteria

* Age \>= 18 years at time of signing informed consent form * ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 * Patients with a histologically or cytologically proven diagnosis of a locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic incurable solid tumor for which standard therapy either does not exist or has proven ineffective or intolerable * Patients with documented RAS alterations positive solid tumors * Patients with measurable disease per RECIST v1.1

Exclusion criteria

* Significant cardiovascular disease, such as New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac disease (Class II or greater), unstable angina, or myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months or unstable arrhythmias within the previous 3 months * Patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancy, untreated CNS metastases requiring any anti-tumor treatment, or active CNS metastases * Patients with current severe, uncontrolled systemic disease (including, but not limited to, clinically significant cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, or renal disease, ongoing or active infection) * Patients with a history or complication of interstitial lung disease (ILD)
