Study Summary

The purpose of this trial was to explore the clinical utility of two investigational agents in patients with advanced cancer. This was a multi-center, open-label Phase I/Ib study. The primary objectives of the trial were: * To characterize the safety and tolerability of intratumoral LHC165 in patients with solid tumors as a single agent and in combination with PDR001 * To determine and evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended dose (RD) for LHC165 as a single agent and in combination with PDR001
