A Study of CRD3874-SI in People With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Malignant Solid Tumor

Inclusion Criteria

• Male or female age ≥ 18 years at the time of informed consent
• Be capable, willing, and able to provide written informed consent
• Be willing to comply with clinical trial instructions and requirements, including tumor biopsies (if feasible and required per protocol)
• Patients must have a locally advanced or metastatic cancer, a malignant solid tumor that has progressed on at least one line of systemic therapy or for which no standard treatment is available, the participant is intolerant to available treatment, or the participant declined standard of care systemic therapy
• In the dose escalation phase, patients must have a histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant solid tumor that has progressed on at least one prior standard of care systemic therapy, where available, or declined standard of care systemic therapy
• In the dose expansion phase patients must have a histologically or cytologically confirmed anti-PD1/PD-L1 undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma or myxofibrosarcoma, angiosarcoma, or bone sarcoma or merkel cell carcinoma. Patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS)/myxofibrosarcoma (MFS), angiosarcoma and MCC must have progressed on or be refractory to anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 therapy
• In the dose escalation phase an upper bound weight limit restriction will be used for dose levels 5 and 6. Hence, patients must weight ≤ 90kg and ≤ 70kg in order to be eligible to enroll in dose level 5 and 6 of the dose escalation phase, respectively
• Adequate performance status: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0 or 1/Karnofsky performance status (KPS) 100-70%
• Life expectancy of at least three months after the first CRD3874 infusion, according to the investigator’s opinion

• In the dose expansion phase, participants must agree to have a pretreatment tumor biopsy for research purposes. Participants in whom biopsy is technically not feasible or in whom the associated procedure would result in unacceptable risk, in the opinion of the Investigator, or patients who do not wish to have a biopsy, archival tissue (most recently procured sample where tissue is available) may be used instead, if available
• In the dose expansion phase, participants must agree to on-treatment tumor biopsy for research purposes. Participants in whom biopsy is technically not feasible or in whom would result in unacceptable risk, in the opinion of the investigator, or patients who do not wish to have a biopsy may be exempted from the biopsy requirement with discussion with the principal investigator
• Female subject of childbearing potential (defined as a sexually mature female who has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or who has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months) should have a negative serum pregnancy testing at screening visit and within 72 hours prior to the first dose of study medication

• Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT and PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants (within 14 days of treatment initiation)
• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) > 50%, as measured by echocardiogram (two dimensional [2D]-ECHO) or multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) (within 14 days of treatment initiation)

Exclusion Criteria

• Known prior severe hypersensitivity to an investigational product or any component of the study drug therapy’s formulations including polyethylene glycol (PEG), (National Cancer Institute [NCI] Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] v5.0 grade ≥ 3)
• Evidence of clinically significant immunosuppression such as the following: * Primary immunodeficiency state such as severe combined immunodeficiency disease * Concurrent opportunistic infection * Receiving systemic immunosuppressive therapy (> 2 weeks) including oral steroid doses > 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent within 7 days prior to enrollment. In the setting of non-immune mediated indications for use, chronic/active low dose steroid (equivalent to </= 10mg/day prednisone) use may be permitted at the discretion of the principal investigator. * Current use of immunosuppressive medication, EXCEPT for the following: I. Intranasal, inhaled, ocular, topical steroids, or local steroid injection (e.g., intraarticular injection) II. Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses ≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent III. Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication)
