Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called CTL-002, given alone or with an approved immunotherapy, in people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth. About 263 adults with various solid cancers are taking part.

Main Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or breastfeeding. * Any tumor-directed therapy within 21 days before study treatment. * Treatment with investigational agent within 21 days before study treatment. * Radiotherapy within 14 days before study treatment. * Pre-existing arrhythmia, uncontrolled angina pectoris, uncontrolled heart failure (NYHA) Grade IV, any myocardial infarction/coronary event, CNS-ischemic event and any thromboembolic event at any time \< 6 months prior to Screening or presence of any uncontrolled heart failure NYHA Grade III or higher. * Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50% measured by echocardiogram or MUGA. * QTcF \> 450 ms for men or \> 470 ms for women. * Any active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatments. . * Any history of non-infectious pneumonitis \< 6 months prior to Screening. * Any active inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis which are generally excluded or active autoimmunthyroiditis present \< 6 months prior to Screening. * History of CNS disease such as stroke, seizure, encephalitis, or multiple sclerosis (\< 6 months prior to Screening). * Ongoing immune-related AEs (irAEs) and/or AEs ≥ Grade 2 not resolved from previous therapies except vitiligo, stable peripheral sensory neuropathy up to Grade 2, hair loss, and stable endocrinopathies with substitutive hormone therapy. * History of or clinical evidence of CNS primary tumors or metastases including leptomeningeal metastases, unless they have been previously treated, demonstrated no progression at least for 3 months before Screening, are asymptomatic and have had no requirement for steroids or enzyme inducing anticonvulsants in the last 14 days before Screening. * Evidence for active infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), tuberculosis (TB), or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
