E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Adult male or female aged 18 years old or older. 2. Have a histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable metastatic solid tumour and who have received, or been intolerant to, all curative treatment options and treatments demonstration to prolong survival. 3. Subjects should have at least two measurable lesions based on RECIST v1.1 as determined by the site study team. Tumour lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions. At least two lesions with the following characteristics are needed to be eligible: • Part 1: Unresectable superficial/palpable tumour feasible for intratumoural injection from any solid tumour, and a metastatic/secondary lesion that can be assessed for abscopal effect and from which a biopsy can be taken. • Part 2: An unresectable lesion feasible for Intratumoural injection from any type of unresectable metastatic solid tumour including deep lesions, and a metastatic/secondary lesion that can be assessed for abscopal effect and from which a biopsy can be taken 4. Subjects who are willing to undergo tumour biopsies, unless tumour is considered inaccessible or biopsy is otherwise considered not in the subject's best interest. 5. Tumour size: • Part 1: the total size of the tumour(s) should allow injection of the total volume required at each escalation cohort. The volume can be injected in one lesion or divided into more than one lesion, but the total volume should be given according to the total dose at each escalation part. When volume is divided between several tumours, at least 1 mL should be injected into each tumour. • Part 2: tumour dimensions should allow injection of a minimum of 1 mL AGI-134, in one lesion or more, hence the total tumour dimensions (from one or more lesions) should be of at least 1.5 cm for longest dimension. 6.

Women of childbearing potential and all men must agree to use 2 methods of an adequate contraception: One barrier method (e.g. diaphragm, or condom or sponge, each of which are to be combined with a spermicide) and one hormonal method (e.g., oral, transdermal patch, implanted contraceptives, or intrauterine device) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation through 120 days after the last dose of study treatment. Subjects that are highly unlikely to conceive (e.g., surgically sterile, postmenopausal, or not heterosexually active) are exempt. Confirmation that female subjects are not pregnant must be established by a negative serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (βhCG) pregnancy test result obtained during Screening. Pregnancy testing is not required for postmenopausal or surgically sterilised women. 12. Subject is able and willing to comply with the requirements of the protocol. 13. Subject is able to voluntarily provide written informed consent.

Has had a prior anti-cancer monoclonal antibody (mAb) within 28 days prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered from AE > Grade 1 by treatment administered more than 28 days earlier. 20.
