Brief Summary:
TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist is an investigational drug being developed for treatment of locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. This Phase 1/2 study will evaluate TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist as monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab in dose escalation and dose expansion. Participants will receive intratumoral (IT) injection of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist every cycle. The primary objectives are to evaluate safety and tolerability, and define the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist alone or in combination with pembrolizumab.

| Advanced Solid Tumor Locally Advanced Solid Tumor Metastatic Solid Tumor Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma HNSCC HPV-associated Cancers Neoadjuvant Melanoma Neoadjuvant Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC) | Drug: TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist Drug: Pembrolizumab | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a class of proteins that play a key role in innate immune cell recognition of foreign pathogens, stimulating innate and adaptive immune responses. TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist is designed as a long-acting localized delivery prodrug of resiquimod, a potent toll-like receptor (TLR) 7/8 agonist, with the potential to prolong high local concentrations of resiquimod and promote potent anti-tumoral responses while reducing systemic drug exposure and related adverse events. TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist is expected to stimulate innate and adaptive immune response in the tumor microenvironment and enhance the activity of checkpoint inhibitors like pembrolizumab.

- Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days) in Part 1 (monotherapy dose escalation) and Cycle 1 (the first cycle is 28 days and 21 days thereafter) in Part 2 (combination therapy dose escalation) ]Determine the maximum tolerated dose by assessing the Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs), treatment emergent and treatment related adverse events (assessed by CTCAE v5.0), serious adverse events (SAEs), adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation and deaths.
- Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]To determine a recommended phase 2 dose of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist and combination regimen for further development by evaluating number of patients with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE.

- Duration of Response [ Time Frame: Average of two years ]Time from first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR that is subsequently confirmed) to first documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first
- Time to Response [ Time Frame: Expected up to 1 year from first dose ]Time from date of first dose of study treatment to first occurrence of response (CR or PR)
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Average of two years ]Time from date of first dose of study treatment to first documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause
- Event free survival (EFS) by RECIST 1.1 per investigator assessment [ Time Frame: Average of two years ]

- PK characterization - Cmax [ Time Frame: Average of two years ]Maximum observed plasma concentration of resiquimod, O-desethyl resiquimod (metabolite) and total resiquimod (sum of bound and unbound resiquimod) after IT administration of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist alone or in combination with pembrolizumab
