The Sponsor may add or remove specific tumor indications based on emerging, real-time study results. 6. Availability of a tumor tissue sample (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded [FFPE]) must be confirmed if feasible. Patients without tumor sample may be eligible with medical monitor approval. Tumor biopsies are not required and should not be performed to assess eligibility. 7. For Dose Escalation (Phase 1a), patients may have evaluable disease or measurable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) v1.1. For both Dose Expansion (Phase 1b) and Phase 2, patients must have measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1 8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2. 9. Life expectancy ≥ 3 months 10. Patient must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below. - Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/uL - Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL - Platelet count ≥ 100,000/uL - International normalized ratio (INR) < 1.5 (or ≤ 3.0 if on therapeutic anticoagulation) - Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min by the CKD-EPI or similar equation or as measured by 24-hour urine collection - Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN [or ≤ 3-times ULN for patients with Gilbert's disease or documented hepatic tumor involvement] - ALT and AST ≤ 3 × ULN [or ≤ 5-times ULN for patients with documented hepatic tumor involvement] Exclusion Criteria: Patients are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: 1. History of another malignancy within 3 years before the first dose of study drug, or any evidence of residual disease from a previously diagnosed malignancy. Allowed exceptions are patients with: 1. Non-melanoma skin cancer considered completely cured; 2. Localized prostate cancer treated with curative intent with no evidence of progression; 3. Low-risk or very low-risk (per standard clinical guidelines) localized prostate cancer under active surveillance without immediate intent to treat; 4. Malignancy that is otherwise considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence. 2. Known or suspected sensitivity to any of the ingredients of the investigational product MBRC-201. 3. Active cerebral/meningeal disease related to the underlying malignancy. Patients with a history of cerebral/meningeal disease related to the underlying malignancy are allowed if prior central nervous system disease has been treated and the patient is clinically stable. (defined as not having received steroid treatment for symptoms related to cerebral/meningeal disease for at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug and with no ongoing related AEs). 4. Any uncontrolled viral, bacterial, or fungal infection within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, unless deemed not clinically significant by the investigator (e.g., onychomycosis). Routine antimicrobial prophylaxis is permitted. 5. Active or symptomatic viral hepatitis, including patients with active hepatitis C infection (positive by polymerase chain reaction or on antiviral therapy for hepatitis C within the last 6 months). Patients who have been treated for hepatitis C infection or who have spontaneously recovered are permitted. 6. Patients with HIV infection with 1 or more of the following: - Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDs)-defining opportunistic infection within 6 months of the start of screening - A change in antiretroviral therapy within 3 months of the start of screening and viral load > 500 copies/mL - Receiving antiretroviral therapy that may interfere with study drug - CD4 count < 350 at screening 7. Thromboembolic events and/or bleeding disorders ≤ 14 days (e.g., venous thromboembolism [VTE] or pulmonary embolism [or PE]) prior to the first dose of study drug 8. Documented history of a cerebral vascular event (stroke or transient ischemic attack), unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or cardiac symptoms (including congestive heart failure) consistent with New York Heart Association Class III-IV within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug 9. A baseline QT (time from the beginning of the Q wave to the end of the T wave) interval as corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) > 470 msec or patients with risk factors for Torsades de pointes 10. Uncontrolled Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) 11. A history of (non-infectious) ILD/pneumonitis requiring steroid therapy, or active ILD/pneumonitis, or clinically suspected ILD/pneumonitis that cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening 12. Uncontrolled autoimmune disease or syndrome 13. Active ocular surface disease at screening, including confluent superficial keratitis, cornea epithelial defect, corneal ulcer or stromal opacity or any components of the ophthalmologic history which, in the investigator's opinion, may place the patient at significant risk. Cataracts alone are not an exclusion criterion. 14. Any anticancer therapy within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug, including: small molecules, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, monoclonal antibody therapy, radiotherapy, or any other agents to treat cancer (anti-hormonal therapy given for advanced prostate cancer or as adjuvant therapy for early stage, HR positive breast cancer is not considered cancer therapy for the purpose of this protocol). 15. Use of any investigational drug within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug. 16. For Phase 1b and Phase 2: prior treatment with an ADC with a camptothecin (CPT) payload, such as Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan), Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan), or Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan). Prior treatment with irinotecan and other non-ADC topoisomerase inhibitors is allowed in all phases of the study. 17. Current use of any prohibited concomitant medication(s). 18. Major surgery within 28 days prior to first dose of study drug. 19. Patients who have not recovered from AEs due to prior anticancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > Grade 1) with the exception of alopecia 20. Any medical, psychiatric, addictive, or other kind of disorder which compromises the ability of the patient to give written informed consent and/or to comply with procedures. 21. Condition or situation which, based on Investigator or Sponsor assessment, may put the patient at significant risk, may confound the study results, or may interfere significantly with patient's participation in the study. 22. Other serious underlying medical condition that would impair the patient's ability to receive or tolerate the planned treatment and follow-up
