This study evaluates KRT-232, a novel oral small molecule inhibitor of MDM2, for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer.
This study will be conducted in 2 parts. Part 1 will evaluate two treatment arms, each with a different KRT-232 dose. Part 2 will continue the evaluation of the selected treatment arms from Part 1.
