This is an open label, multi-center, multiple dose Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety,
tolerability, MTD or MAD, PK, and PD of TJ210001 in subjects with relapsed or refractory
advanced solid tumors. Beginning with Dose Level 1, TJ210001 will be given every week
starting on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1). The criteria for dose escalation/de-escalation will be
based on the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design with sequentially enrolled cohorts. The
BOIN design is implemented in a simple way similar to the traditional 3+3 design but is more
flexible and possesses superior operating characteristics that are comparable to those of the
more complex model-based designs, such as the continual reassessment method (CRM).

liver metastases
7. Albumin ≥ 3.0 g/dL;
8. Prothrombin Time (PT) ≤ 1.5 times the ULN, or 11 to 15 seconds in the absence of
a normal range; partial thromboplastin time (PTT) or activated partial
thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 times the ULN; and international normalized
ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 times the ULN unless the subject is receiving anticoagulant
therapy.
9. Subject with a QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF)
and/or QT interval corrected for heart rate using Bazett's formula of < 470 msec for
both males and females;
10. A 28-day washout period after the completion of programmed death-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1
therapy;
11. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must:
1. Agree to use at least 2 effective contraceptive methods (1 highly effective
method in combination with a barrier method; oral, injectable, or implantable
hormonal contraceptive; tubal ligation; intra-uterine device; barrier
contraceptive with spermicide; or vasectomized partner), one of which must be
barrier, from signing the ICF, throughout the study, and for up to 12 weeks
following the last dose of TJ210001;
2. Have a negative serum pregnancy test (sensitive of at least 25 mIU/ml) at
screening; and have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (Investigator's
discretion) within 72 hours prior to Cycle 1 Day -1 of study treatment (note that
the screening serum pregnancy test can be used as the test prior to Day -1 study
treatment if it is performed within the prior 72 hours);
3. Avoid conceiving for 12 weeks after the last dose of TJ210001;
4. Avoid donation of ova from signing the ICF until 12 weeks after the last dose of
TJ210001;
