NBE-002 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This first-in-human study will evaluate the recommended dose for further clinical development, safety, tolerability, anti-tumor activity, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of NBE-002, a novel anti-ROR1 antibody-drug conjugate, in patients with advanced solid tumors.
