Inclusion Criteria

    Participants must meet all the following inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the study:
    1. Written informed consent is obtained prior to any procedures that are not considered standard of care.

    2. ≥18 years of age.

    3. In Part 1: a. Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors, who have failed or are ineligible for standard of care therapies. b. Have progressed on at least one prior systematic anti-tumor regimen, and presence of at least one measurable or evaluable tumor lesion according to RECIST Version 1.1 (Section 13.4.1). Measurable lesions are required in the backfill period. c. In the backfill period, eligible tumor types are limited to high-grade serous ovarian cancer, high-grade endometrioid ovarian cancer, USC, clear cell RCC, papillary RCC and adenocarcinoma of NSCLC without actionable mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). For participants with NSCLC, presence of CDH6 expression through immunohistochemical examination of tumor tissue by central laboratory is required.

    4. In Part 2: Participants must have a diagnosis of specific type of metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors and have progressed on or cannot benefit from the most recent systematic anti-tumor regimen (unless otherwise specified), with presence of at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST Version 1.1 (Section 13.4.1). 

    Platinum-resistant ovarian cancer cohort:
    a. Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed high-grade serous ovarian cancer, high-grade endometrioid ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.
    b. Have platinum-resistant disease, defined as: Participants who have only had 1 line of platinum-based therapy must have received at least 4 cycles of platinum, must have had a best response of not progressive disease (PD), and then progressed between >90 days and ≤180 days after the date of the last dose of platinum; Participants who have received ≥ 2 lines of platinum therapy must have progressed ≤180 days after the date of the last dose of platinum. Note: Time interval of progression should be calculated from the date of the last administered dose of platinum therapy to the date of progression. 

    Renal cell carcinoma cohort:
    a. Participants with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed clear cell RCC or papillary RCC.
    b. For clear cell RCC: Participants who have progressed on or after systemic treatment including a PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor and a VEGF-TKI, either given concurrently or in separate lines of therapy.
    c. For papillary RCC: Participants without any prior systemic treatment is acceptable.

    Uterine serous carcinoma cohort:
    a. Participants with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed USC.  
    b. Have progressed on or after systemic treatment that contained platinum-based chemotherapy. 

    Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer cohort:
    a. Participants with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed adenocarcinoma of NSCLC, and without actionable mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)
    b. Presence of CDH6 expression through immunohistochemical examination of tumor tissue.
    c. For participants with no actionable mutations: Have progressed on or after systemic treatment including anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody and platinum-based chemotherapy, either given concurrently or in separate lines of therapy. Progression within 6 months after completion of adjuvant therapy is considered failure of first-line therapy.
    d. For participants with actionable mutations other than EGFR: Have failed at least one established standard anti-cancer targeted therapy, anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody and platinum-based chemotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 and chemotherapy either given concurrently or in separate lines of therapy) or in the opinion of the Investigator have been considered ineligible for a particular form of standard of care therapy on medical grounds.

    5. ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1 (Section 13.4.2).

    6. Life expectancy of ≥12 weeks.

    7. Have adequate organ function as indicated by the following laboratory values. Whole blood transfusion, blood component transfusion or colony-stimulating factors (e.g., GCSF, GM-CSF or recombinant erythropoietin) within 2 weeks prior to the laboratory tests are not allowed: 

    Hematological:
    c. ANC ≥1.5 × 109/L. 
    d. Platelets ≥100 × 109/L.
    e. Hemoglobin ≥90 g/L. Hepatic:
    f. ALT and AST ≤2.5 × ULN, or ALT and AST ≤5.0 × ULN with liver metastasis.
    g. Serum T-BIL ≤1.5 × ULN.
    h. Serum albumin ≥ 30 g/L Renal:
    i. Cr clearance ≥60.0 mL/min (calculated according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula). Coagulation:
    j. Coagulation: INR ≤1.5 or prothrombin time ≤1.5 × ULN (for participant receiving anticoagulant therapy, the PT or INR must be within the therapeutic range of intended use for the anticoagulant). Cardiac:
    k. LVEF >50%. 

    8. WOCBP (Section 13.1.1) must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to the start of study treatment. WOCBP or male participants are required to use highly effective contraceptive methods (Section 13.1.2), and agree to refrain from donating sperm/egg from signing of main informed consent through 180 days after the last dose of study treatment.

    9. Able to provide tumor tissue sample (archival or newly obtained core or excisional biopsy) at biomarker-screening (for NSCLC in both Part 1 and 2) or screening (for nonNSCLC in Part 1) visit of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated for CDH6 testing. Note: Archival tissue should be obtained within 5 years of the date of informed consent. For Part 2: Willing to undergo fresh tumor biopsy at screening visit from a lesion that can be biopsied at an acceptable clinical risk as judged by the investigator. Note: If archival tissue is available from a prior biopsy performed ≤6 months of informed consent, the fresh biopsy may be waived..
