Intervention model description: This study is to observe the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of the patients and to determine the maximal tolerance dose(MTD) and recommended dose for expansion (RDE)
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: This is a multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation and cohort-expansion phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics profile, efficacy and immunogenicity of IMM2520 in subjects with advanced solid tumors.

Detailed description: IMM2520 is administered via intravenous infusion once week of cycle 1- 12 (4 weeks per cycle).

The accelerated titration method and the traditional "3+3" method will be adopted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) in dose-escalation phase.

Once the RP2D is determined, Simon's two-stage design will be used to explore for each specific tumor cohort.adenocarcinoma/esophageal cancer, urothelial cancer, and/or others.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. The subjects must voluntarily sign the informed consent, and the subjects are willing and able to comply with the visits, treatment plans, laboratory assessments, and other requirements of the study.
2. Age ≥18 years old.
3. Patients who were diagnosed as advanced or metastatic solid tumors histologically or cytologically have failed previous standard treatments. Patient requires the treatment in the opinion of the investigator.
4. There is at least one measurable tumor lesion (refer to RECIST 1.1), defined as the longest measurable diameter of non-lymph node lesions by imaging (CT/MRI) ≥10 mm or the short diameter of a single pathological lymph node lesion ≥15 mm; at least one evaluable tumor lesion is needed in the dose-escalation phase.
5. With an expected survival of ≥ 12 weeks.
6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 or 1 (ECOG score of 0-2 is allowed for cohort-expansion phase).
7. The organ or bone marrow function must meet the following laboratory criteria:

   1. Hematology: Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L; hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L; platelet count ≥ 75 × 109/L (without supportive treatment using granulocyte colony stimulating factor within 7 days before starting study treatment).
   2. Total serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5× upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless Gilbert syndrome is confirmed); aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN; ALT and AST ≤ 5.0×ULN in case of liver metastasis.
   3. Prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.2 × ULN, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.2 × ULN; international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.2 (unless the subject is receiving warfarin therapy). If the subject is taking oral anticoagulant therapy, the dose should be stable for 2 weeks; if the subject is taking oral warfarin, the subject's INR must be ≤ 2.5 without hemorrhage.
   4. Creatinine clearance (Cr) \> 30 mL/min (Cockcroft and Gault Equation).
   5. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 40%;
8. Previously treated toxicities have recovered to Grade 1 \[as per NCI CTCAE 5.0 grading criteria\] (except toxicities which have no safety risk at the discretion of the investigator, such as alopecia, neurotoxicity ≤ Grade 2 caused by chemotherapeutic drugs, etc.).
9. Females with childbearing potentials must be tested negative for serum pregnancy test during the screening period before receiving the first administration of IMM2520; any female patient with childbearing potential must agree to take effective contraceptive measures during the entire study and within 3 months after study completion. A patient is considered to have childbearing potential if he/she is biologically capable of having children and has a heterosexual sex life.

Exclusion Criteria:

A subject meeting any of the following criteria must be excluded from the study.

1. Subjects are enrolled into another clinical study continuously, unless it is an observational, non-interfering clinical study or in the follow-up period of an interfering study.
2. Treatment with the last systemic chemotherapy within 3 weeks; treatment with hormone therapy and small-molecule target therapy within 2 weeks; palliative radiation treatment for non-target lesions within 2 weeks; treatment with non-specific immunomodulatory therapy within 2 weeks prior to the first administration.
3. Subjects with active central nervous system (CNS) metastases (Subjects with stable treated central nervous system \[CNS\] lesions who are off corticosteroid therapy for at least 2 weeks are not considered active).
