  • Male or female aged ≥ 18 years.
  • Advanced disease not curable by available therapies and requires systemic therapy.
  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of eligible cancer type.
  • Must have tumor tissue available for biomarker testing.
  • Measurable disease (Part 1) and measurable disease per RECIST (Part2)
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤2.
  • Life expectancy > 3 months as assessed by the Investigator.
  • Adequate organ function (bone marrow, hepatic, renal function and coagulation).
  • All toxicities (except alopecia) from prior cancer treatments or procedures must have resolved to ≤Grade 1 or returned to baseline levels prior to enrollment.

Main Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding females and women of childbearing potential or males unwilling to comply with contraception requirements.
  • Known active or symptomatic CNS metastases, carcinomatous meningitis, leptomeningeal disease or a history of spinal cord compression
  • Active malignancy within 2 years of study enrollment
  • Prior radiation within 2 weeks of start of therapy.
  • Systemic cancer treatments, monoclonal antibody-directed therapies, other investigational agents within 4 weeks before enrollment, or \<5 half-lives since completion of previous investigational therapy, whichever is shorter.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness.
  • Immunocompromised subjects with increased risk of opportunistic infections or history of opportunistic infection in the last 12 months.
  • Known active or chronic hepatitis B or active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
  • Subjects with corrected QT interval >470 msec based on averaged triplicate electrocardiogram (ECG) readings at the Screening Visit using the QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's method (QTcF).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and Tolerability

    Incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), serious adverse events (SAEs), treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Area under the curve (AUC) of STP938

    Pharmacokinetic parameter from plasma STP938 levels

    Time frame: 9 days

  2. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Pharmacokinetic parameter from plasma STP938 levels

    Time frame: 9 Days

  3. Time to reach maximum concentration (TMax)

    Pharmacokinetic parameter from plasma STP938 levels

    Time frame: 9 Days

  4. Evaluation of preliminary clinical activity of STP938

    Evaluation of ORR using standard response criteria

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  5. Evaluation of best overall response of STP938

    Evaluation of best overall response (Complete response \[CR\], Partial response \[PR\], Stable disease \[SD\], Progression of disease \[PD\], Not evaluable, Not applicable) using standard response criteria

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  6. Evaluation of Duration of Response

    Duration of response (DoR) is defined as the time, in days, from the date measurement criteria that are first met for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) to the first date that relapse, progressive disease or death, whichever occurs first

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  7. Evaluation of Progression Free Survival

    Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from first STP938 dose to the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  8. Change in serum CA125 (ovarian cancer only)

    Evaluation of CA125 using standard response criteria

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months
