Study to Evaluate JCXH-211 as Monotherapy in Patients With Malignant Solid Tumors

The main purpose of this study is to find out how safe and tolerable the study drug, JCXH-211, is and also how well it works in people with malignant solid tumors. The study drug JCXH-211, is an immunotherapy drug. This means that it aims to work by boosting immune system's response to tumors, to help fight against the growth of the cancer cells. The study has 2 main phases: Phase

1a and Phase 1b. Phase 1a has 2 stages, skin/subcutaneous lesions stage, deep (visceral) lesions stage. Phase 1b will not start until all the data collected in Phase 1a has been completed and reviewed to check that it is safe and well tolerated.
