Purpose
gastrointestinal malignancies
Guanylyl cyclase C (GCC) is highly expressed in several gastrointestinal malignancies and preclinical studies suggest that it is a promising target for antibody-based therapeutics. This phase I trial assessed the safety and tolerability of TAK-164, an investigational, anti-GCC antibody–drug conjugate (NCT03449030).

Methods

GASTROINTESTINAL CANCERS
