A Study of LY4170156 in Participants With Selected Advanced Solid Tumors

January 12, 2026 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company

A First-in-Human, Phase 1a/1b Trial to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of LY4170156, an Antibody-Drug Conjugate Targeting Folate Receptor α-Expressing Tumor Cells, in Participants With Selected Advanced Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to find out whether the study drug, LY4170156, is safe, tolerable and effective in participants with advanced solid tumors. The study is conducted in two parts - phase Ia (dose-escalation, dose-optimization) and phase Ib (dose-expansion). The study will last up to approximately 4 years.
