Criteria
Main Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject must be willing and able to sign the informed consent and comply with study
protocol.

2. Must be ≥ 18 years of age (males and females).

3. ≥ 1 lesion accessible for i.t. injection and biopsy(ies).

4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1 minimum life
expectancy ≥ 4 months.

5. Adequate baseline organ function as defined by:

1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L (1500/mm3)

2. Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L (100,000/mm3)

3. Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL (5.59 mmol/L)

4. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or calculated creatinine
clearance of ≥ 40 mL/minute (measured or calculated using the Cockroft-Gault
formula)

5. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 x ULN, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 x
ULN; AST/ALT < 5 ULN if liver involvement

6. ≤ 1.5 x ULN, except in subjects with Gilbert's syndrome who must have a total
bilirubin ≤ 3 mg/dL

6. Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) and men with WOCBP partners must agree to use
effective contraception methods as defined in the clinical study protocol.

7. For any subjects who received prior approved/investigational i.t. anti-cancer
treatments, the study's Medical Monitor must be consulted before enrollment.

Inclusion Criteria ( MSS CRC IO Naïve)

1. Histologically confirmed advanced, metastatic, or progressive MSS CRC based on either
an analysis of tissue from a prior biopsy or based on tissue from a new biopsy.
Subject's microsatellite/MMR status should be known.

2. Received two prior lines of therapy for advanced or metastatic CRC including
fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based regimens. Subjects who relapse
within 6 months of adjuvant chemotherapy composed of oxaliplatin and a
fluoropyrimidine will have their adjuvant therapy count as one prior regimen.

3. Documentation of radiologic progression by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid
Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 during or after previous chemotherapy. Subjects documented
clinical progression may be eligible and must be discussed with the medical monitor to
determine eligibility.

Main Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject must have completed or completely discontinued any previous cancer-related
treatments before enrollment with necessary windows and wash out periods as defined in
the clinical study protocol.

2. History of interstitial lung disease, pneumonitis, known or suspected autoimmune
diseases (unless for specific diseases as defined in protocol) or human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

3. Prior therapy with TLR9 agonist, excluding topical agents.

4. Known hypersensitivity to any study drug component.

5. Treatment with botanical preparations (e.g. herbal supplements or traditional Chinese
medicines) intended for general health support or to treat the disease under study
within 2 weeks prior to treatment.

6. Known or suspected autoimmune diseases. Subjects with type I diabetes mellitus,
hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacement, skin disorders (such as vitiligo,
psoriasis, or alopecia) not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected
to recur in the absence of an external trigger are permitted to be enrolled.

Subject with a requirement of systemic steroids > 10 mg/day of prednisone (or
equivalent) for the 2 weeks preceding start of study treatment.

7. Subject with another primary malignancy that has not been in remission for at least 3
years except for non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated localized prostate
cancer with non-detectable prostate specific antigen, cervical carcinoma in situ on
biopsy, or thyroid cancer (except anaplastic).

8. Active systemic infections requiring antibiotics.

9. Active Hepatitis A, B or C infections.

10. Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). NOTE: Testing for HIV must be performed at sites
where mandated locally.

11. Women who are breast feeding or pregnant.

12. Prior anaphylactic or other severe infusion reaction associated with human antibody
administration that cannot be managed by standard supportive measurements.

13. Presence of known central nervous system (CNS), meningeal, or epidural metastatic
disease.However, subjects with known brain metastases are allowed if brain metastases
are stable for≥ 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment. Stable is defined as
neurological symptoms not present or resolved at baseline, no radiological evidence of
progression, and steroid requirement of prednisone ≤ 10 mg/day or equivalent.

14. Subject with unstable and impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac
disease per Investigator's clinical judgment.

15. Has received live attenuated vaccine 30 days before first study dose. Any live
attenuated vaccine [e.g., varicella, zoster, yellow fever, rotavirus, oral polio and
measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)] during treatment and until 100 days post last dose will
be prohibited.

Exclusion Criteria (MSS CRC IO Naïve):

1. Prior therapy with an anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), anti-programmed cell death
ligand-1 (PD-L1), or anti-PD-L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory
or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor in an approved or experimental setting.

2. Subjects with BRAF V600E mutations.

3. Subjects with a history of immune-mediated colitis.

4. Subjects who received three or more lines of therapy for advanced or metastatic CRC
