A Study of CM24 in Combination with Nivolumab in Adults with Advanced Solid Tumors

This is an open-label, multicenter, multi-dose escalation and dose expansion study in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors (Part A) and advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer (Parts C \& D) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CM-24 in combination with nivolumab. In Part C of the study gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel or Nal-IRI/5-FU/LV will be administered subsequent to CM24 and nivolumab. CM24, nivolumab and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel or Nal-IRI/5-FU/LV are administered intravenously.
