Possessing histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced (metastatic and/or unresectable) solid tumors that have progressed during or after standard treatment (relapsed/refractory patients; patients must have failed at least one first-line therapy).
Or, as determined by the trial administrator, there is no feasible standard treatment.
Notes:
Patients with glioblastoma (GBM) or other central nervous system (CNS) tumors are eligible to participate if their corticosteroid dose is stable or reduced within 7 days prior to receiving the first dose of the investigational drug, and does not exceed 2 mg/day of dexamethasone (or an equivalent dose of another corticosteroid), or if they do not require corticosteroids.
For patients who cannot tolerate or refuse standard treatment for relapsed disease, the reason must be recorded.
4. Patients in the stage 1b dose optimization/expansion group must meet one of the following criteria:
a. Non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) meeting the following conditions:

Received no more than two lines of systemic therapy and did not experience disease progression within the first 3 months of first-line PD-(1/L1) therapy.
According to RECIST 1.1, disease progression must be recorded within 12 weeks of the last dose of an anti-PD-1/L1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) to be considered a failure of anti-PD-(1/L1) mAb therapy.
Initial disease progression following anti-PD-1/L1 mAb therapy must be confirmed by a second evaluation at least 4 weeks after the initial confirmation.
Notes:
* Patients with known driver mutations/gene aberrations (i.e., epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR], BRAF V600E proto-oncogene mutation, ROS1 sensitization mutation, neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase [NRTK] gene fusion, and ALK gene recombination) are ineligible.
* Patients with rapidly progressing clinical disease are not eligible for the trial.
b. Microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC) that has not received prior immunotherapy and meets the following criteria:
* Failure or intolerance to at least two lines of therapy, and disease progression after no more than four lines of therapy.
Notes:
* If applicable, patients must have previously received treatment with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, or irinotecan.
* If the patient is eligible for approved and available targeted therapy, a recommendation for such treatment must be provided prior to enrollment.
• If a patient's disease progresses during adjuvant chemotherapy or within 6 months of completion, this treatment will be considered first-line therapy.
5. Patients in the stage 1b standard treatment plus introduction/amplification group must meet one of the following criteria:
a. Histologically confirmed metastatic or locally advanced, unresectable soft tissue sarcoma that has not been treated with anthracyclines and is eligible for doxorubicin monotherapy.

This criterion does not apply to patients with GBM or other CNS tumors.
A second biopsy should be obtained from the same lesion as the one taken at screening.
7. Patients must meet the following criteria:
Have at least one measurable lesion as assessed according to RECIST 1.1; this criterion does not apply to patients in the monotherapy level 1 and 2 dose groups.
a. Lesions at previously radiation-treated sites can be considered measurable disease, provided there is objective evidence of disease progression prior to inclusion in the trial.
b. Patients must have at least one measurable lesion for inclusion in the trial, and this lesion will not be biopsied.
c. For GBM patients, the T1-weighted imaging of the primary tumor after contrast imaging must meet the definition of measurable disease according to the Neuro-Oncology Response Assessment (RANO) criteria. 8. Patients previously treated for CNS metastases are eligible to participate in the trial provided that:
a. the metastases are stable (i.e., no evidence of disease progression on MRI within at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational drug), and
b. all neurological symptoms have returned to baseline, and
c. for patients enrolled in the expanded group, they have not received steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to receiving the first dose of the investigational intervention.
Patients with suspected symptoms or signs of CNS metastases must undergo brain imaging within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational drug to confirm the absence of detectable CNS disease.
Note: This condition does not apply to patients with GBM or other CNS tumors.
9. The East Coast Cancer Clinical Research Consortium (ECOG) performance status score is between 0 and 2. Patients enrolled in the expanded group must have an ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1.
10. Patients must have adequate organ function and bone marrow reserve within 10 days prior to the first dose of the investigational drug, as indicated by the following laboratory assessments:
a. Bone marrow function:
