Experimental: ABL503
ABL503 will be administered biweekly of every 28-day cycle in the dose-escalation. The dosing interval to be used in the dose-expansion part will be re-evaluated based on the emerging safety and PK data from the dose-escalation part of the study.

Drug: ABL503
ABL503 will be administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 and Day 15 of every 28-day cycle in the dose-escalation part. The dosing interval to be used in the dose-expansion part will be re-evaluated based on the emerging safety and PK data from the dose-escalation part of the study. |
- Number of Subjects with Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT) [ Time Frame: From Day 1 until disease progression or Day 28, whichever came first ]Number of subjects with Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)
- Number of subjects with AE, IrAEs, IRRs, SAEs and abnormalities in Lab [ Time Frame: From Day 1 until confirmed CR, disease progression, initiation of a new anticancer therapy, unacceptable AEs, or subject's consent withdrawal, or investigator's decision to discontinue treatment, which came first, assessed up to approx. 12 months ]Number of subjects with Adverse Event, Immune-related Adverse Event, Infusion-related Reactions (IRRs), serious AEs, and abnormalities in lab parameters
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: From Day 1 until confirmed CR, disease progression, initiation of a new anticancer therapy, unacceptable AEs, or subject's consent withdrawal, or investigator's decision to discontinue treatment, which came first, assessed up to approx. 12 months ]Proportion of subject with best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST v1.1
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) of ABL503 [ Time Frame: From Day 1 until confirmed CR, disease progression, initiation of a new anticancer therapy, unacceptable AEs, or subject's consent withdrawal, or investigator's decision to discontinue treatment, which came first, assessed up to approx. 12 months ]Serum concentrations of ABL503 will be collected and analyzed to evaluate the PK of ABL503
- Immunogenicity of ABL503 [ Time Frame: From Day 1 until confirmed CR, disease progression, initiation of a new anticancer therapy, unacceptable AEs, or subject's consent withdrawal, or investigator's decision to discontinue treatment, which came first, assessed up to approx. 12 months ]Incidence of anti-ABL503 antibody will be analyzed to evaluate the Immunogenicity of ABL503

Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of any progressive locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumors that have relapsed or are refractory following the last line of treatment, for which prior standard therapy has been ineffective, standard therapy does not exist, or is not considered appropriate.
- With AE(s) excluding alopecia or Grade 2 toxicities that are deemed stable or irreversible (eg, peripheral neuropathy) from prior therapy that have improved to Grade 1 or the baseline grade more than 14 days prior to the first administration of the study drug
- Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal functions confirmed based on the screening laboratory tests and reconfirmed with additional safety laboratory tests performed within 72 hours prior to the first administration of ABL503
Exclusion Criteria:

- Prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy within 2 weeks or targeted small molecule therapy within 5 half-lives prior to the first administration of study drug or has not recovered (ie, ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline grade) from AEs due to previously administered agent more than 14 days prior to ABL503 administration
- Requiring or received systemic steroid therapy or any other immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days prior to study drug administration.
- Risk factors for bowel obstruction or bowel perforation (including but not limited to a history of acute diverticulitis, intra-abdominal abscess, and abdominal carcinomatosis.
- Discontinued from prior immunomodulatory therapy due to any intolerable immune-related adverse events (IrAEs) requiring systemic steroid treatment
- History of drug-induced pneumonitis (interstitial lung disease) or currently has pneumonitis
- Received prior treatment with an anti-4-1BB antibody
