Who can participate?

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients Diagnosed with Advanced Solid Tumor(s)

1. Understand and sign written IRB-approved informed consent form and be willing to comply with all study procedures. Refer to Section 9.4 for additional information on informed consent.

2. Diagnosed with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic solid tumor for which no standard therapy is recognized or for which standard therapy has failed. Planned tumor types for evaluation include:

• Platinum resistant* ovarian cancer (including - primary peritoneal cancer and fallopian tube cancer)

• Breast cancer

• Papillary thyroid cancer

• Head and neck cancer

• Gastric cancer

• Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

• Mesothelioma: Pleural and peritoneal

• Esophageal

• Endometrial cancer

• Cervical

• Melanoma

• Colorectal cancers (colon, rectal)

• Platinum-resistant is defined as disease that may have responded to a platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen, but there is documentation of demonstrated recurrence within 6 months following the completion of that platinum-containing regimen. Progressive disease of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) following platinum-based therapy can be documented by physical examination, computed tomography (CT) scans, or a doubling of cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels from either 1) upper limit of normal (ULN) or 2) most recent nadir value (per the Rustin criteria [Rustin et al., 2011]). For CA-125 to be used as a criterion for progressive disease, the CA-125 level nadir must have been above the ULN. In addition, the CA-125 nadir level must have been confirmed by a second measurement at least 1 week after the initial measurement.

3. Must be >18 years of age.

4. Histologically or cytologically documented disease.

5.Has evaluable or measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 or mRECIST criteria.

6.Provide tumor tissue from biopsy taken during Screening period.

7.Performance status of 0 or 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale.

4.2.2. Patients Diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma or Diffuse Midline Glioma (Must also meet other generally noted criteria as noted within the protocol.

8.For patients <18 years of age, the parents or legal guardians must understand and sign the written IRB-approved informed consent form (ICF). The patient, if able, must understand and sign the IRB-approved consent (assent) and be willing to comply with all study procedures.

For patients ≥18 years of age, the patient must understand and sign written IRB-approved ICF and be willing to comply with all study procedures.

Refer to Section 9.4 for additional information on informed consent.
