Objective:

Primary Objective:

Dose Escalation

To characterize the safety, tolerability, DLT and MTD (or maximum administered dose [MAD] or maximum biologically effective dose [MBED] if no MTD defined) of CLN-619 administered intravenously alone (Module A, Module D) or in combination with pembrolizumab (Module B) or in combination with chemotherapy (Module C) in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Dose Expansion

To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of CLN-619 alone and/or in combination with pembrolizumab (Module B) or with chemotherapy (Module C), as assessed by the Best Overall Response (BOR), ORR, Duration of Response (DoR), Progression Free Survival (PFS), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Overall Survival (OS), and the Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR), per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1, in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Secondary Objectives:

To assess the PK profile of CLN-619 administered alone, - in combination with pembrolizumab or in combination with chemotherapy in patients with selected, advanced solid tumors.
To assess the immunogenicity of CLN-619 administered alone, in combination with pembrolizumab, or in combination with chemotherapy, in patients with selected, advanced solid tumors.
