- Adverse events, including Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Day 7 through Day 28 / Day 4 through Day 25 ]
Number of subjects experiencing adverse events, and the frequency and severity of adverse events.
Endpoint for determining the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). If MTD is not identified, the highest dose administered becomes the Maximum Administered Dose (MAD).
- Phase Ib/II starting dose for ACE1702 [ Time Frame: Through study completion, up to 1 year ]The recommended phase Ib/II starting dose based on MTD. If MTD is not reached, then the recommended phase Ib/II dose will be determined based on the MAD, safety data, and pharmacodynamics data.
- Quantify NK cell persistence after administering ACE1702 [ Time Frame: Day 21 ]Duration of ACE1702 persistence
- Evaluate immune function after administering ACE1702 [ Time Frame: Day 21 ]Measurement of serum cytokine levels, pg/mL (Interferon-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10) at set timepoints
- Tumor response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Assessment (RECIST) version 1.1 [ Time Frame: Day 35 (+7 day window) of each 6 week cycle, up to 24 months ]Tumor response via radiographic assessments
- Shift in serum tumor marker values (CA-125, CA 19-9, and CEA levels, in applicable tumor types) [ Time Frame: Day 35 (+7 day window) of each 6 week cycle, up to 24 months ]Tumor response via tumor marker assessments (in applicable tumor types)
