Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Written informed consent must be obtained prior to any procedures.

2. Male or female patient aged 18 years or older.

3. Pathologic diagnosis of solid tumor malignancy that is locally advanced or metastatic
at time of Screening:

Part 1 Dose escalation camidanlumab tesirine as monotherapy:

Selected advanced solid tumors: colorectal, head and neck, NSCLC, gastric and
esophageal cancers, pancreas, bladder, renal cell carcinoma, melanoma, TNBC, and
ovarian/fallopian tube cancers

Part 1 Dose-escalation camidanlumab tesirine in combination with pembrolizumab:

Selected advanced solid tumors: colorectal cancer, gastric-esophageal cancer, ovarian
/fallopian tube cancer, pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and melanoma.

Note: For colorectal cancer, gastric-esophageal cancer, ovarian/fallopian tube cancer,
pancreatic cancers mismatch repair (MMR) / microsatellite stability (MSS) /
microsatellite instability (MSI) status is mandatory. If MMR/MSS/MSI status is not
available at signature of the informed consent, the test should be performed before
Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1).

Part 2 Dose expansion camidanlumab tesirine in combination with pembrolizumab:

- Group 1: One of the indications identified in Part 1, for which at least 1
response (PR or CR) was seen.

- Group 2: Patients with advanced solid tumors and MSI-H/dMMR status, who have
received a prior regimen containing PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, for which the best
response was CR, PR, or SD ≥4 months, and then progressed while under treatment
with the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-based regimen.

Note: A maximum of 4 patients with the same indication will be allowed in this basket
group.

4. Patients who are refractory to or intolerant of existing therapy(ies) known to provide
clinical benefit for their condition.

5. Patients with advanced/metastatic cancer, with measurable disease as determined by
RECIST v1.1 or immune-related Response Criteria (irRC)/ immune-related Response
Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (irRECIST)/ immune-related Response Evaluation
Criteria In Solid Tumors (iRECIST)/ immune-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in
Solid Tumors (imRECIST) as per Investigator discretion.

6. A) For camidanlumab tesirine as monotherapy: Patient must have a site of disease
amenable to biopsy and be willing to undergo fresh biopsy procedures (minimum 3 passes
each) prior to first dose, according to the treating institution's guidelines.

B) Patients included in the paired-biopsy cohort must in addition be willing to
undergo fresh biopsy procedures (minimum 3 passes each) after receiving at least 1
dose of study drug.

C) For camidanlumab tesirine in combination with pembrolizumab: Patient must either
have a site of disease amenable to biopsy and must provide fresh tumor biopsy prior to
C1D1, or have sufficient available archival tumor tissue (biopsied after their last
disease progression, and in the situation where the patient has received no additional
anti-cancer therapy between their progression and C1D1). Patients must also be willing
to undergo fresh biopsy procedures (minimum 3 passes each) after receiving at least 1
dose of study treatment, according to the treating institution's guidelines.

7. ECOG performance status 0-1.

8. Patient with life expectancy ≥ 3 months as per Investigator assessment.

9. Adequate organ function as defined by screening laboratory values within the following
parameters:

3. Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (5.6 mmol/L) (prior transfusion allowed).

4. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), or gamma
glutamyl transferase (GGT) ≤2.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) if there is no
liver involvement; ALT or AST ≤5 × ULN if there is liver involvement.

5. Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN (patients with known Gilbert's syndrome may have a
total bilirubin up to ≤3 × ULN with direct bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN).

6. Blood creatinine ≤1.5 × ULN or calculated creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min by the
Cockcroft-Gault equation.

10. Negative beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) pregnancy test within 7 days prior
to start of study drug for women of childbearing potential (WOCBP).

11. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of
contraception from the time of giving informed consent until at least 6.5 months after
the last dose of camidanlumab tesirine or 4 months after last dose of pembrolizumab,
whichever is the latest. Men with female partners who are of childbearing potential
must agree to use a condom when sexually active or practice total abstinence from the
time of giving informed consent until at least 16 weeks after the patient receives his
last dose of camidanlumab tesirine or 4 months after last dose of pembrolizumab,
whichever is the latest.

Exclusion Criteria:

progressive sclerosis [scleroderma], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome,
autoimmune vasculitis [e.g., Wegener's granulomatosis]) (patients with vitiligo, type
1 diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism, hypophysitis due to autoimmune condition
only requiring hormone replacement may be enrolled).

6. History of neuropathy considered of autoimmune origin (e.g., polyradiculopathy
including Guillain-Barré syndrome and myasthenia gravis) or other central nervous
system (CNS) autoimmune disease (e.g., poliomyelitis, multiple sclerosis).

(SARS-CoV-2).

Note: An influenza test and a pathogen-directed SARS-CoV-2 test (such as polymerase
chain reaction [PCR]) are mandatory and must be negative before initiating study
treatment (tests to be performed 3 days or less prior to dosing on C1D1; an additional
2 days are allowed in the event of logistical issues for receiving the results on
time).

8. Known seropositive and requiring anti-viral therapy for human immunodeficiency (HIV)

prostate cancer, in situ cervical cancer, ductal or lobular carcinoma in situ of the
breast, or other malignancy that the Sponsor's medical monitor and Investigator agree
and document should not be exclusionary.

treatment and that require treatment with steroids within the last 6 months prior to
enrollment.
