Brief summary

The goal of this first in human, Phase 1, multi-center, open-label, and 2-part study is to learn whether DEG6498 is safe and tolerable in participants with advanced solid tumors. It will also learn about DEG6498 pharmacokinetics (PK) profile and potential antitumor activity. The main questions it aims to answer are: * what is an appropriate dose to be given to participants? * are the side effects of treatment manageable? Participants who are treated in this study will receive DEG6498 orally once a day and be closely monitored by the treating physicians.

Detailed description

This study will be conducted in 2 Parts. Part 1, the dose escalation part of the study, will test different doses of DEG6498 as a single agent when administered to participants with any type of advanced solid tumor that has no available alternative treatments, and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for further studies. Part 2, the dose expansion part of the study, will further characterize the safety/tolerability profile and clinical activities of DEG6498 in 2 tumor types: BRAF mutant tumors and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Interventions

DRUGDEG6498
