Inclusion Criteria:

1. Written informed consent must be obtained prior to any procedures.
2. Male or female patient aged 18 years or older.

3. Pathologic diagnosis of solid tumor malignancy that is locally advanced or metastatic at time of Screening:

   Part 1 Dose escalation camidanlumab tesirine as monotherapy:

   Selected advanced solid tumors: colorectal, head and neck, NSCLC, gastric and esophageal cancers, pancreas, bladder, renal cell carcinoma, melanoma, TNBC, and ovarian/fallopian tube cancers

   Part 1 Dose-escalation camidanlumab tesirine in combination with pembrolizumab:

   Selected advanced solid tumors: colorectal cancer, gastric-esophageal cancer, ovarian /fallopian tube cancer, pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and melanoma.

   Note: For colorectal cancer, gastric-esophageal cancer, ovarian/fallopian tube cancer, pancreatic cancers mismatch repair (MMR) / microsatellite stability (MSS) / microsatellite instability (MSI) status is mandatory. If MMR/MSS/MSI status is not available at signature of the informed consent, the test should be performed before Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1).

   Part 2 Dose expansion camidanlumab tesirine in combination with pembrolizumab:

   • Group 1: One of the indications identified in Part 1, for which at least 1 response (PR or CR) was seen.
   • Group 2: Patients with advanced solid tumors and MSI-H/dMMR status, who have received a prior regimen containing PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, for which the best response was CR, PR, or SD ≥4 months, and then progressed while under treatment with the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-based regimen.

   Note: A maximum of 4 patients with the same indication will be allowed in this basket group.

4. Patients who are refractory to or intolerant of existing therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit for their condition.
5. Patients with advanced/metastatic cancer, with measurable disease as determined by RECIST v1.1 or immune-related Response Criteria (irRC)/ immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (irRECIST)/ immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (iRECIST)/ immune-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (imRECIST) as per Investigator discretion.

6. A) For camidanlumab tesirine as monotherapy: Patient must have a site of disease amenable to biopsy and be willing to undergo fresh biopsy procedures (minimum 3 passes each) prior to first dose, according to the treating institution's guidelines.

   B) Patients included in the paired-biopsy cohort must in addition be willing to undergo fresh biopsy procedures (minimum 3 passes each) after receiving at least 1 dose of study drug.

   C) For camidanlumab tesirine in combination with pembrolizumab: Patient must either have a site of disease amenable to biopsy and must provide fresh tumor biopsy prior to C1D1, or have sufficient available archival tumor tissue (biopsied after their last disease progression, and in the situation where the patient has received no additional anti-cancer therapy between their progression and C1D1). Patients must also be willing to undergo fresh biopsy procedures (minimum 3 passes each) after receiving at least 1 dose of study treatment, according to the treating institution's guidelines.

Women of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception from the time of giving informed consent until at least 9.5 months after the last dose of camidanlumab tesirine or 4 months after last dose of pembrolizumab, whichever is the latest. Men with female partners who are of childbearing potential must agree to use a condom when sexually active or practice total abstinence from the time of giving informed consent until at least 6.5 months after the patient receives his last dose of camidanlumab tesirine or 4 months after last dose of pembrolizumab, whichever is the latest.

For cytotoxic agents that have major delayed toxicity, e.g., mitomycin C and nitrosoureas, 4 weeks is indicated as washout period. For patients receiving systemic anticancer immunotherapies (as opposed to intralesional) that lead to activation of Teffs and/or increase the Teff/Treg ratio, such as anti-PD-1 antibodies, 4 weeks are indicated as the washout period.
