Experimental: Dose Escalation Cohort (10 mLSQL70)
Participants will receive 10 mL of SQL70 biopolymer injected intratumorally on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle into a single lesion and then receive escalating doses of SQP33 protodrug administered IV from Day 1 through Day 5 (5 doses) of each 21-day cycle.
|
Drug: SQ3370
SQ3370 consists of 2 components: SQL70, a protodrug-activating biopolymer, and SQP33, a protodrug of Doxorubicin |
Experimental: Dose Escalation Cohort (20 mLSQL70)
Participants will receive 20 mL of SQL70 biopolymer injected intratumorally on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle into a single lesion and then receive escalating doses of SQP33 protodrug administered IV from Day 1 through Day 5 (5 doses) of each 21-day cycle.

SQ3370 consists of 2 components: SQL70, a protodrug-activating biopolymer, and SQP33, a protodrug of Doxorubicin |
Experimental: Cohort A
Participants will receive SQL70 biopolymer injected intratumorally on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle into a single lesion as determined in Dose Escalation. Then will receive a lower dose than RP2D of SQP33 protodrug administered IV from Day 1 through Day 5 (5 doses) of each 21-day cycle.

Experimental: Cohort B & C
Participants will receive SQL70 biopolymer injected intratumorally on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle into a single lesion as determined in Dose Escalation. Then will receive the RP2D of SQP33 protodrug administered IV from Day 1 through Day 5 (5 doses) of each 21-day cycle.

- Dose Escalation Cohorts [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to approximately 12 weeks ]To determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose, if possible, and/or Recommended Phase 2 Dose of SQ3370
- Dose Expansion Cohorts [ Time Frame: From first dose to approximately 24 weeks ]To evaluate safety. Defined as type, frequency, severity, timing of onset, duration, and relationship to study drugs of any treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs); laboratory abnormalities; vital sign abnormalities; adverse electrocardiogram (ECG) or, ECH/MUGA findings; SAEs; or AEs leading to interruption, modification, or discontinuation of study treatment
- Pharmacokinetics (PK) [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to approximately 12 weeks ]To determine Maximum Plasma concentration (Cmax) for SQP33 protodrug and active Dox following SQ3370 treatment
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to end of follow up or 72 weeks after accrual of the final subject ]Defined as achievement of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by RECIST v1.1
- Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to end of follow up or 72 weeks after accrual of the final subject ]Defined as the interval from the first documentation of objective response to the earlier of the first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause
- Evaluate level of SQP33 in tumor [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to approximately 12 weeks ]To determine the level of SQP33 protodrug and active Doxorubicin in tumor tissue
- Evaluate Pharmacodynamics (PD) [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to approximately 12 weeks ]To assess immune response (changes in immune biomarkers) as assessed by PBMCs
