The purpose of this study is to evaluate an investigational drug called GIM-122 in people who have been diagnosed with an advanced or malignant tumors. These patients have tumors that were eligible to be treated with PD-1/PD-L1 therapy (approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration-FDA) and were previously treated with PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. PD-1/PD-L1 is a protein that is on the tumor cells; immunotherapy is a treatment that uses the patient’s own immune system to fight cancer. Researchers will evaluate the safety of GIM-122 and identify a dose of GIM-122 that would be safe to use. The study also aims to learn how the body processes GIM-122. GIM-122 is a humanized monoclonal antibody (laboratory-produced antibody to stimulate the immune cells) that works in two ways. First, it targets a specific protein called PD-1. Cancer cells produce PD-1 to prevent the immune system from attacking it. GIM-122 blocks this protein so that the immune system may be able to help fight cancer. Secondly, GIM-122 activates immune cells in a new fashion to specifically activate these cells to fight cancer. In these ways, GIM-122 works targets the PD-1 pathway in a novel manner.
