Summary

This trial is a study to see if a new combination of drugs is safe and effective in treating advanced solid tumors. The study will enroll patients with melanoma, NSCLC, and RCC to see if the new combination is better than current treatments.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced melanoma, NSCLC, or RCC who have measurable lesions and normal organ/marrow function. They must not be pregnant, agree to contraception use, and can't have untreated brain metastases or certain active infections. Prior treatments should be completed within specific timeframes before starting the study drugs.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of three drugs: APX005M, Nivolumab, and Cabiralizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. It includes an initial phase to find the best dose followed by a second phase focusing on each cancer type separately.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune-related reactions affecting organs, infusion-related symptoms like allergic responses or skin reactions, fatigue from treatment burden on the body's systems, as well as possible complications from pre-existing conditions.
