Evaluating the tolerability and safety of KAND567 along with carboplatin is the primary objective of the clinical trial.
The secondary objective includes assessing the treatment efficacy of KAND567. Restoring sensitivity to platinum treatment that inhibits tumour growth and prolongs survival is the long-term objective.
The study will be conducted at several university hospitals in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden.
Two sites have already started patient screening with additional two sites anticipated to be initiated in August.
