Number and proportio of participants with dose limiting toxicity (DLT) -  
An DLT is defined as greater or equal to Grade 3 drug-related adverse event occurring within the first cycle (28 days) of dosing, which include adverse events, vital signs, physical examinations, ophthalmologic examination, electrocardiograms (ECG), and clinical laboratory tests, excluding tumor flare causing local pain at sites of known or suspected tumor, localized rash, or a transient less or equal to Grade 3 infusion reaction using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE Version 4.03 ). Incidence of DLTs will be evaluated for each dose escalation cohort.

Any of the following events judged by the investigator to be related to study drug during
Cycle 1, will be considered a DLT:

Non-hematologic toxicity:
1. Grade 4 (life-threatening consequences or urgent indication indicated) or 5 (resulting in death) AEs
2. Grade 3 immune-related adverse events (irAEs)
3. Grade 3 toxicities irrespective of duration, except for the following situations:
laboratory abnormalities, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting that improve to < = Grade 2 within 3 days of institution of supportive care
4. Any Grade 3 tumour flare reaction for continuous 7 days or above (local pain, irritation or rash at known or suspected tumour focus);

Hematologic toxicity:
1. Grade 4 neutropenia lasting > 7 days
2. Febrile neutropenia (ANC < 1000/mm3, with a single temperature of 38.3°C or a sustained temperature of > = 38°C for more than one hour)
3. Grade 3 neutropenia with infection
4. Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding
5. Grade 4 thrombocytopenia.
6. Grade 4 anaemia (life-threatening)

Summary
Brief summary
This is an open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation phase I study. The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability as well as the preliminary efficacy of KN046 in participants with advanced solid tumors.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible to enroll in this trial if you are aged 18 or over and have been diagnosed with advanced malignant solid tumor with no standard therapy is available.

Study details
All participants enrolled in this trial will receive KN046 intravenously every two weeks for 6 months or until excessive toxicity, disease progression, patient consent withdral, physician's judgment (whichever occurs first), up to 2 years. The dose received by each participant depends on the time of their enrolment. KN046 is a biological drug for treatment of advanced solid tumor.
As a part of the clinical research study patients will have regular blood tests, physical examinations, Tumor imaging examinations by either CT or MRI.

It is hoped this study will contribute important safety and efficacy information as well as to determined the optimal dose of KN046 to administer for treatment.
