Brief summary: This is a Phase 1/2a, open-label, study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of intratumoral T3011 given alone and in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab in partients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Detailed description: This is a Phase 1/2a, open-label, first-in-human study of T3011 given via intratumoral (IT) injection as a single agent and in combination with IV pembrolizumab in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The Phase 1 portion of the study is a single agent dose escalation which will use a 3+3 design to evaluate escalating doses of T3011. Total enrollment will depend on the toxicities and/or activity observed, with approximately 15 to 30 evaluable participants enrolled. Once the RP2D is established Phase 2a Part 1 will enroll approximately 10 participants with locally recurrent or metastatic melanoma (in Arm A) 23 to 53 participants with HNSCC in Arm B, 40 to 80 participants with sarcoma in Arm C and 10 participants with cSCC in Arm D. During Phase 2a Part 1 the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of T3011 as a single agent will be evaluated. Phase 2a Part 2 will enroll in parallel to Phase 2a Part 1 once the RP2D is established. The safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of IT T3011 given in combination with IV pembrolizumab will be evaluated in 15 participants with histologically or pathologically confirmed metastatic NSCLC (Arm E). A rollover arm is also included in this study to allow participants who have documented progression on T3011 alone to receive T3011 in combination with pembrolizumab if considered eligible.

Eligibility criteria: Key Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age 18 years or older.
2. Disease progression after standard of care (SOC) therapy or in the opinion of
3. The Investigator unlikely to benefit from SOC therapy. Inclusion Diagnosis Phase 1 - Histologically or pathologically confirmed locally recurrent or metastatic advanced malignancy.

   Phase 2a Part 1 i. Arm A - locally recurrent or metastatic melanoma. Participants must have received no more than 3 prior regimens for advanced or metastatic disease.

   ii. Arm B - locally recurrent or metastatic HNSCC. It must also meet the following criteria: 1) Disease progression to platinum-containing chemotherapy; 2) Failure to anti-PD-1/PDL1 blockade after receiving at least 2 doses alone or in combination.

   iii. Arm C - Sarcoma. Participants must have received no more than three lines of prior anti-cancer therapies.

   iv. Arm D - locally recurrent or metastatic cSCC. Participants must have received no more than 3 prior regimens for advanced or metastatic disease.

   Phase 2a Part 2 i.v. Arm E - Histologically or pathologically confirmed NSCLC that is advanced or recurrent, without EGFR mutation or ALK rearrangement. Participants must have received at least one line but no more than three lines of prior anti-cancer therapies.
4. Measurable disease per RECIST version 1.1.

8. Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined by acceptable laboratory testing results.
9. Women of child-bearing potential (WCBP) and men must agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry, while on study treatment, and for six months after receiving last dose of T3011. WCBP must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to W1D1.
10. Last dose of previous anticancer therapy ≥ 21 days, radiotherapy \> 21 days, or surgical intervention \> 21 days prior to the first dose of T3011.
11. Recovered from all prior anticancer therapy toxicities.
12. Willingness to provide fresh tumor biopsy specimens as specified in the Schedule of Assessments.
13. Capable of understanding and complying with protocol requirements.
