  2. Phase 2a Expansion Groups [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
    To evaluate safety. Defined as type, frequency, severity, timing of onset, duration, and relationship to study drugs of any treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs); laboratory abnormalities; vital sign abnormalities; adverse electrocardiogram (ECG) or, ECH/MUGA findings; SAEs; or AEs leading to interruption, modification, or discontinuation of study treatment


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Phase 1: Pharmacokinetics (PK) [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to approximately 12 weeks ]
    To determine Maximum Plasma concentration (Cmax) for SQP33 protodrug and active Dox following SQ3370 treatment

  2. Phase 1: Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
    Defined as achievement of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by RECIST v1.1

  3. Phase 1: Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
    Defined as the interval from the first documentation of objective response to the earlier of the first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause

  4. Phase 2a: Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
    Defined as achievement of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by RECIST v1.1

  5. Phase 2a: Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
    Defined as the interval from the first documentation of objective response to the earlier of the first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause

  6. Phase 2a: Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
    Defined as the time between the date of enrollment to the date of death from any cause.

  7. Phase 2a: Pharmacokinetics [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to approximately 12 weeks ]
    Determine plasma concentration and PK parameters for SQP33 protodrug and active Dox following SQ3370 treatment


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Evaluate level of SQP33 in tumor [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to approximately 12 weeks ]
    To determine the level of SQP33 protodrug and active Doxorubicin in tumor tissue

  2. Evaluate Pharmacodynamics (PD) [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to approximately 12 weeks ]
    To assess immune response (changes in immune biomarkers) as assessed by PBMCs
