a study of gnc-035, a tetra-specific antibody, in participants with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer

Conditions: Breast Cancer

Summary: in this study, the safety, tolerability and preliminary effectiveness of gnc-035 in participants with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer will be investigated to assess the dose-limiting toxicity (dlt), maximum tolerated dose (mtd) or maximum administered dose (mad) for mtd is not reached of gnc-035.
