Brief Summary
NPX372 is an antibody drug (protein drug) that blocks a specific protein which is found to be increased on the surface of cancer cells called B7-H7 and, at the same time, binds to immune cells (T cells) through a receptor called CD3. The effect of this binding is to activate T cells to kill cancer cells with B7-H7.
In this research study we are:
* Evaluating the safety and possible effectiveness of NPX372.
* Identifying a safe and tolerable dose or doses for further study.
Participants who are treated will receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of NPX372 if their disease has not progressed, and be closely monitored by the treating physicians.

Brief Title
NPX372, a B7-H7:CD3 Bispecific Antibody, in Selected Solid Tumor Malignancies
Detailed Description
NPX372 is being developed as a therapeutic in solid tumor malignancies including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), colorectal carcinoma (CRC), pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), biliary tract tumors, ovarian carcinoma, and gastric/gastro-esophageal carcinoma. This study is a Phase 1 study with primary dose-escalation occurring in the aforementioned solid tumor malignancies (main cohorts). Backfill cohorts from a selected subset of these tumor types will be utilized to enrich for dose optimization in participants whose tumors have high B7-H7 expression determined by prospective screening of archival tissue.

Eligibility Criteria
INCLUSION CRITERIA:
* Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
* Histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent or metastatic solid tumor refractory to standard of care therapy in one of the following indications: NSCLC, RCC, CRC, PDAC, biliary tract tumors, gastric and gastro-esophageal carcinoma, and ovarian carcinoma.
* Measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 criteria.
* Age ≥19 years.
* Adequate organ function as defined by:
* Calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) must be ≥45 mL/min (by Cockroft-Gault formula).
* Total bilirubin ≤1.5× the upper limit of normal (ULN) unless prior history of Gilbert's syndrome who must have total bilirubin \<3.0 mg/dL.
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5× ULN, or ≤5× ULN if due to liver involvement by tumor.
* Serum albumin ≥3.0 g/dL.
* Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL, limited transfusion to reach this value may be allowed after discussion with the Sponsor's Medical Monitor.
* Platelets ≥100 × 109 cells/L.
* Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 ×109 cells/L.
* Baseline oxygen saturation \> 90% on room air
* All participants will be required to have sufficient archival tissue available. For backfill cohort participants, archival tissue will be used to confirm B7-H7 expression for enrollment (see inclusion criterion 2) during pre-screening.
-If 3 participants are already enrolled in any backfill cohort, subsequent participants will be required to have a fresh biopsy during the screening period. These participants should therefore only be selected if judged safe to undergo a fresh biopsy.
* Male participants with a female partner(s) of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraceptive measures throughout the trial starting with the Screening visit through 60 days after the last dose of study drug is received. Males with pregnant partners must agree to use a condom; no additional method of contraception is required for the pregnant partner.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
* Prior treatment toxicity not resolved to grade 1 or below including any:
* Systemic anti-cancer treatment: exceptions include alopecia, chronic stable neuropathy for \>4 months, change in skin pigmentation, grade 2 anemia, or requiring replacement therapy for endocrine abnormalities (in this setting, symptoms should have resolved to grade 1 or below). Systemic anti-cancer treatment within 10 days prior to start of study is not allowed.
