Detailed Description

Part 1 (dose escalation) of the study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of ZW251 in HCC, squamous cell NSCLC, and GCT. Part 2 (dose optimization) of the study will further assess safety and potential anti-tumor activity of the ZW251 established recommended doses in HCC.
