Brief summary: This is an investigator-initiated industry-supported phase 1 clinical trial conducted in the phase 1 clinic at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center who will hold the Investigational New Drug (IND). Lvygen Biopharma will provide as investigational supply LVGN3616, LVGN6051 and LVGN7409 at no cost to the patients on this study. This study will explore antitumor activity of four LVGN3616 and LVGN6051 based regimens in seven selected tumor types:

Detailed description: Primary Objectives:

1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of LVGN3616 and LVGN6051 ± LVGN7409 in combination with nab-paclitaxel or bevacizumab and cyclophosphamide (4 individual regimens).
2. To evaluate antitumor activity of LVGN3616 and LVGN6051 ± LVGN7409 in combination with nab-paclitaxel or bevacizumab and cyclophosphamide (16 specific cohorts according to disease type and regimen).

Secondary Objectives:

* To assess survivals.
* To explore potential baseline biomarkers.
* To explore patient-reported outcomes (PRO).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

To be eligible for this trial, patients must meet all the following eligibility criteria.

* Patients must have histologically confirmed metastatic solid tumors with pre-identified molecular profiling in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified laboratory, either refractory to standard therapy or for which no effective standard therapy that increases survival for at least 3 months is available, or they declined standard of care therapy (the treating physician needs document reasons for a patient to decline standard of care therapy and provide justification for participating this study in the medical record, which will be recorded in eCRF).
* Measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.
* Male or female aged ≥18 years.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1.
* Adequate organ functions as defined below:

  * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 /μL.
  * Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 8.5 g/dL.
  * Platelets ≥ 100,000 /μL for nab-paclitaxel or ≥ 75,000 /μL for cyclophosphamide.
  * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); or total bilirubin \< 3.0 × ULN with direct bilirubin ≤ ULN in patients with well documented Gilbert's Syndrome.
  * ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 × ULN.
  * Serum albumin ≥ 3 g/dL.
  * Urinalysis ≤ 1 proteinuria, or urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≤ 1 mg/mg (≤ 113.2 mg/mmol), or 24-h urine protein ≤ 1 g (apply to bevacizumab-based regimens only).
  * PT/INR or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test \< 1.3 × the laboratory ULN if not on therapeutic anticoagulation.
  * Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 45 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault method\* or 24-hour urine collection.

    * CrCl = (140-age) x (weight/kg) x Fa / (72 x serum creatinine mg/dL). \^a where F= 0.85 for females and F=1 for males
* Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 3 days prior to initiation of therapy (C1D1) and must agree to use effective birth control during the study prior to the first dose and for at least 6 months after the last dose. Female patients are not considered to be of child-bearing potential if they are post-menopausal (no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause) or permanently sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy). Male patients must agree to abstain or use barrier contraception (i.e., condoms) and avoid sperm donation for the duration of the study and for 6 months after treatment stops.
* Ability to read and fully understand the requirements of the trial, willingness to comply with all trial visits and assessments, and willingness and ability to sign an institutional review board (IRB)-approved written informed consent document (ICD). Patients with Impaired Decision-Making Capacity (IDMC) must have a close caregiver or Legally Authorized Representative (LAR). For remote and In-person consenting, we will follow the Office of Clinical Research SOP:04 Informed Consent Process.
* Any prior palliative radiation must have been completed at least 7 days prior to the start of study drugs, and patients must have recovered from any acute adverse effects prior to the start of study treatment (Radiotherapy for extended field within 2 weeks or limited field radiotherapy within 1 week).
* Fridericia's corrected QT interval (QTcF =QT/∛(60/HR) ) ≤ 460 milliseconds (ms) for males and ≤ 480 ms for females on ECG conducted at rest during Screening.

Note: Patients with an atrioventricular pacemaker or other condition (for example, right bundle branch block) that renders the QT measurement invalid are an exception and this criterion does not apply.

* Agreeing to provide an archival tissue block, or 10 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) slides if available.
* Prior treatment with immunotherapy, taxane, VEGF inhibition or cyclophosphamide is allowed. However, prior immunotherapy with anti-PD1/PD-L1 plus a CD137 agonist or a CD40 agonist is not allowed.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be not eligible for the study:

* Any treatment specifically for systemic tumor control given within 3 weeks before the initiation of therapy; within 2 weeks if cytotoxic agents were given weekly, within 6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C; within 5 half-lives for targeted agents with half-lives and pharmacodynamic effects lasting \< 5 days; or failure to recover from toxic effects of any previous therapy. A drug that has not received regulatory approval for any indication within 14 or 21 days of treatment for a non-myelosuppressive or myelosuppressive agent, respectively: patients must recover for previous cancer therapy, and are ready to proceed with further cancer therapy.

Subjects with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior surgery are not eligible.
* Currently receiving an investigational drug in a clinical trial or participating in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study. If a patient is currently enrolled in a clinical trial involving non-approved use of a therapeutic device for cancer control, then agreement with the investigator and the sponsor (MD Anderson IND Office) is required to establish eligibility.
