A Study of CDX-1401 in Patients With Malignancies Known to Express NY-ESO-1

For Patients For Researchers

Condition: Advanced Malignancies

What is the purpose of this trial?

The main purpose of this study is to examine the safety and tolerability of CDX-1401 when given in combination with an immune stimulant (resiquimod) to patients with advanced cancers that are known to express the NY-ESO-1 protein.
