The study is a Phase 1 Open-label Two-stage, Safety and Tolerability Study with Cancer Type-specific Cohorts, Evaluating Subcutaneous Administration of Andes-1537 for Injection in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors that are Refractory to Standard Therapy or For Which No Standard Therapy Is Available. Patients with unresectable solid tumors that are refractory or have failed standard therapy and are deemed non-eligible or intolerant to further therapy or for which no standard therapy is available will be included in 5 cancer type-specific parallel cohorts. The following tumor types will be evaluated for potential inclusion in each cancer type-specific cohort: gallbladder & biliary tract carcinoma; cervical carcinoma; gastric carcinoma; pancreatic carcinoma, and colorectal carcinoma.
After screening, 9 patients in each cancer type-specific cohort (gallbladder & biliary tract carcinoma; cervical carcinoma; gastric carcinoma; pancreatic carcinoma, and colorectal carcinoma) will enter stage 1. These patients will receive a dose of 400 mg of Andes-1537 five times per week for continuous cycles of 4 weeks that will be repeated until the patients presents drug toxicity requiring treatment discontinuation or disease progression with no noted clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator. The safety and tolerability evaluation will be continuous during the study. The efficacy evaluation will be done by analysis of the clinical objective response rate (ORR) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria after patients complete the first two cycles (8 weeks). Thereafter, clinical ORR will be assessed every 8 weeks. Additionally, tumor-cell activity assessment will be performed in biopsy samples after the patients complete the first 2 cycles (8 weeks). Tumor markers assessment according to the type of tumor will be evaluated every 2 cycles and at the end of study (EOS) visit. Analysis of the tumor metabolic activity through the PET-CT scan and quality of life of patients through questionnaire will be evaluated every 2 cycles. As predefined and according with the decision of the Study Safety and Steering Committee (SSC), in those cohorts where minimal clinical response criteria were met or according to the decision of the SSC based on the risk / benefit analysis, considering toxicity criteria and observed biological responses, 15 additional patients will be recruited (total of 24 patients per cohort) for stage 2 of the study. Patients included in stage 2 will receive the same treatment regimen described for stage 1 and will be followed until the patients present disease progression or drug toxicity requiring treatment discontinuation. Patients included in stage 2 will receive the same follow-up as patients in stage 1.

Inclusion Criteria:
Men and women 18 years of age or older.
Can understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent form (ICF) prior to any study-related assessment or procedure, and are able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
Patients with documented pathological evidence of advanced unresectable solid tumors that are, in the opinion of their treating physician, refractory or have failed standard therapy and are deemed non-eligible or intolerant to further therapy, or for which no standard therapy is available will be enrolled in both stages of the study in the following 4 cancer type-specific cohorts:
Have measurable disease by RECIST.
Have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≥ 1.
Have life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks as judged by the investigator.
Have adequate organ function, confirmed by the following laboratory values obtained ≤ 3 days prior to the first treatment:
Patients with accessible tumor tissue, susceptible to biopsies through procedures such as colonoscopy, endoscopy, endocervical biopsy (among others), are required to provide consent for two biopsies throughout the study, to analyze tumor biomarkers. The first tumor biopsy will be performed in these patients in a timeframe of 28 days prior to the initial administration of the investigational product Andes-1537. Alternatively, pathological archived material may be used, if the biopsy was collected within a period of two months prior to initiation of treatment and with no anti-cancer treatment performed since the collection date. The second biopsy will be performed after 2 cycles (8 weeks) of treatment. If no archival material is available, and only one lesion is amenable for biopsy (and is the only target lesion), the Medical Monitor should be consulted for subject eligibility. Tumor biopsies and tumor archival material must be suitable for biomarker assessment as described in the Laboratory Manual.
Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test and be using adequate contraception (defined below) prior to study entry and must agree to continue to use adequate contraception from study entry through at least 6 months after discontinuation of study drug. Note: Options for adequate contraception with a failure rate of <1% per year include: tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal implants, established proper use of combined oral or injected hormonal contraceptives, and certain intrauterine devices. Alternatively, two methods (e.g., two barrier methods such as a condom and cervical cap) may be combined to achieve a failure rate of <1% per year. Barrier methods must always be supplemented with the use of a spermicide. Abstinence is acceptable only if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Should a female patient or a female partner of a male patient become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in the study or within 6 months following discontinuation of the study drug, the patient should inform the investigator immediately.
