Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and male partners of WOCBP must agree to use 2 highly effective methods of contraception from giving informed consent for a period of 28 days prior to administration of first dose of compound 451238, throughout treatment with compound 451238 and for at least 60 days after treatment. Women of childbearing potential include pre-menopausal women and women within the first 2 years of the onset of menopause. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test ≤ 72 hours prior to Day 1 of study as defined in section 7.3.7.

• Women of childbearing potential include pre-menopausal women and women within the first 2 years of the onset of menopause. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test ≤ 72 hours prior to Day 1 of study as defined in section 7.3.7. See CTFG Contraception Guidance 15.09.2015.

• Subjects requiring hormone replacement with corticosteroids are eligible if the steroids are administered only for the purpose of hormonal replacement and at doses ≤ 10 mg or 10 mg equivalent prednisone per day

• Administration of steroids through a route known to result in a minimal systemic exposure (topical, intranasal, intro-ocular, or inhalation) are acceptable.

• Patients with a contraindication to MRI (standard of care imaging for extremity disease only) can be entered into the study and will have CT based RECIST 1.1 assessments.

• In patients who have symptoms, when assessed using CTCAE v.4.0, these are of grade 0 or 1 severity only.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Systemic chemotherapy within 28 days prior to study entry.

• Prior systemic therapy.

• Patients who are curable by conventional multidisciplinary management.

• Patients with known central nervous system metastatic disease are ineligible for enrollment.

• Patients with severe and/or uncontrolled concurrent medical disease that in the opinion of the investigator could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol.

• Patients who have received radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks prior to Day 1 of study or who have not recovered adequately from side effects.

• Previous radiotherapy within the treatment area.

• Patients who have active infections requiring therapy.

• Patients with a history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C. Positive test for HBV surface antigen and / or confirmatory HCV RNA (if anti-HCV antibody tested positive.

• Patients that have a known psychiatric or substance abuse disorder that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.

• Patients who received systemic anti-cancer treatment prior to the first dose of study drug within the following time frames:

• Patients who have received biologic therapy within 4 weeks.

• Patients who have undergone major surgery ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug

• Patients with active autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease or syndrome that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents. Patients with vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy would be exception to this rule. Patients that require inhaled steroids or local steroid injections would not be excluded from the study. Patients with hypothyroidism not from autoimmune disease that is stable on hormone replacement will not be excluded from the study.

• Current use of immunosuppressive medication, EXCEPT for the following: a. intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injection (eg, intra-articular injection); b. Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses ≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent; c. Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (eg, CT scan premedication). xvi. Active autoimmune disease that might deteriorate. Patients with diabetes type I, vitiligo, psoriasis, or hypo- or hyperthyroid diseases not requiring immunosuppressive treatment are eligible.

• Prior organ transplantation including allogenic stem-cell transplantation.

• Current severe acute or chronic colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis.

• Women who are pregnant or nursing/breastfeeding.

• Known hypersensitivity to compound 451238.

• Patients with a history of non-infectious pneumonitis that has required a course of oral or intravenous steroids to assist with recovery, or interstitial lung disease.

• Clinically significant (i.e., active) cardiovascular disease: cerebral vascular accident/stroke (< 6 months prior to enrollment), myocardial infarction (< 6 months prior to enrollment), unstable angina, congestive heart failure (≥ New York Heart Association Classification Class II), or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication.

• Patients requiring steroid replacement doses above physiological requirements will be considered ineligible for this study: allowed up to 20 mg hydrocortisone (or 5 mg of prednisolone) in the morning and 10 mg hydrocortisone (or 2.5 mg prednisolone) in the evening.

• Patients with the risk factors for bowel obstruction or bowel perforation (examples include but not limited to a history of acute diverticulitis, intra-abdominal abscess, abdominal carcinomatosis).

• Patients who have received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment.

• Previous malignant disease within the last 5 years with the exception of basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or cervical carcinoma in situ.

• Persisting toxicity related to prior therapy (NCI CTCAE v. 4.03 Grade > 1); however, alopecia, sensory neuropathy Grade ≤ 2, or other Grade ≤ 2 not constituting a safety risk based on investigator's judgment are acceptable. xxviii. Patients on anticoagulation medication.

• Patients who have symptoms, which when assessed using CTCAE v.4.0, are of grade 2 severity or above.
