What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety as determined by assessment of dose limiting toxicities per protocol of CAN1012 with cancers.

    Safety as determined by assessment of dose limiting toxicities per protocol of CAN1012 with cancers.

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. Tolerability as determined by assessment of the maximum tolerated dose or maximal assessed dose per protocol of CAN 1012 with cancers.

    Tolerability as determined by assessment of the maximum tolerated dose or maximal assessed dose per protocol of CAN 1012 with cancers.

    Time frame: 12 months

  3. Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)
