Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - STX-001
Treatment: Other - Keytruda®

Experimental: Phase 1 Monotherapy (STX-001) - A Phase 1, first-in-human (FIH), multiple ascending STX-001 dose administration to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antitumor activity in patients with advanced cancers. Consists of 4 planned dose escalation cohorts (Cohorts 1m) of STX-001 with new patients enrolled in each dose escalation cohort.

Experimental: Phase 1 Combination (STX-001 with Pembrolizumab) - A Phase 1, first-in-human (FIH), multiple ascending STX-001 dose administration, in combination with pembrolizumab, to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antitumor activity in patients with advanced cancers. Consists of 4 planned dose escalation cohorts (Cohorts 1c) of STX-001 with new patients enrolled in each dose escalation cohort.

Experimental: Phase 2 Combination (STX-001 with Pembrolizumab) - Phase 2 consists of dose expansion cohorts in patients with 2 defined cancer types: triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and melanoma. Phase 2 will evaluate STX-001 in combination with pembrolizumab; the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of STX-001 will be selected based on analysis of the totality of data from Phase 1.
