Brief summary: Phase 1 (dose escalation) of this study will evaluate:

The safety and tolerability of EU103 treatment are evaluated for patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have failed standard therapy to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose.

And preliminary efficacy (tumor response), The pharmacokinetic characteristics are evaluated, and changes are investigated.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adult males or females aged 18 years (or 19 years according to local regulatory requirements) or older at the time of obtaining written consent
2. Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have failed locally known standard therapies or are unable to apply any more standard therapies.
3. Patients with at least 1 measurable or non-measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1
4. Patients with an estimated survival of 3 months or longer, as determined by the investigator
5. Patients with ECOG PS 0-2
6. Patients with adequate bone marrow, liver, and renal functions at the time of screening

   * Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 /μL
   * Platelet ≥ 100,000 /μL
   * Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL (If the hemoglobin level of a patient is below 9.0 g/dL, he/she may be enrolled upon recovery to 9.0 g/dL or higher. However, blood transfusions performed in order to meet this criterion within 14 days before screening are not allowed.)
   * AST and/or ALT ≤ 2.5x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN if liver metastases are present)
   * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (≤ 3 x ULN if liver metastases are present)
   * Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN

     \* However, if serum creatinine is \>1.5 x ULN, Creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 60 mL/min is allowed for enrollment.
   * PT (INR) ≤1.5 x ULN
7. Those who provide or can provide newly obtained tumor biopsies (preferred) or archived tumor tissue specimens during the screening period.

   In patients recruited to the dose escalation phase for DLT evaluation, provision of tumor tissue specimens is preferred but not required.

   Patients included in cohort reinforcement must agree to provide a tumor tissue specimen during the screening period and to undergo an additional biopsy in cycle 1 (before the start of cycle 2).

   If possible, cycle 1 (before cycle 2) biopsies should be obtained from the same organ site as the biopsy provided at screening to avoid heterogeneity related to tumor or metastatic sites.

   The neoplastic lesion to be used for a newly acquired biopsy should not be a target lesion unless there are no other suitable lesions, in which case only central needle (non-excisional/non-incisional) biopsy should be performed. It is allowed.

   Specimens from metastatic bone lesions are generally not accepted unless they have a significant soft tissue component. The amount of tumor specimen should be sufficient to allow exploratory biomarker analysis, preferably in the form of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks or slides.
8. For women of childbearing potential, the serum pregnancy test is negative

6. Patients with uncontrolled tumor-related pain (Patients with symptomatic lesions that can be treated with palliative radiotherapy \[e.g., bone metastases or metastases causing nerve impingement\] can be enrolled after treatment prior to screening).
