5. ECOG performance status 0 or 1.
6. QTcF ≤ 480 ms at screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with homozygous or compound heterozygous genotypes for UGT1A1\*28 and \*6 alleles (e.g., \*28/\*28, \*6/\*6, \*6/\*28).
2. Clinically significant comorbidity such as unstable angina, congestive heart failure (NYHA Grade III or IV), uncontrolled hypertension (\>160/100 mmHg despite optimal medical treatment), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with frequent exacerbations, refractory asthma, inflammatory bowel disease or intestinal obstruction.
3. Acute myocardial infraction or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within 6 months prior the first dose of study drug.
4. Central nervous system (CNS) metastasis or seizure disorder due to underlying malignancy except those who have been treated and have stable CNS metastases or are asymptomatic.
5. AIDS-defining opportunistic infections within the past 12 months.
6. HBV infection (positive HBsAg) except for carrier of inactive HBV as defined by negative HBeAg with normal ALT and HBV DNA \< 2,000 IU/mL or HCV infection (positive anti-HCV antibody) except for those with undetectable HCV RNA.
7. Inadequate bone marrow reserve, hepatic or renal function as defined by any of the following laboratory values:

   1. absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 1500/µL
   2. platelet count \< 90,000/µL
   3. hemoglobin \< 9 g/dL
   4. total bilirubin \> 1.5\*the upper limit of normal (ULN)
   5. aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> 3\*ULN if no hepatic metastases are present; \> 5\*ULN if hepatic metastases are present
   6. Non-indexed eGFR \< 60 mL/min (formula in Appendix 4)
8. Toxicities resulting from prior therapy or surgical procedures not yet resolved to ≤ NCI CTCAE v5.0 Grade 1 with the exception of alopecia, skin hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation or grade 2 toxicity with prior approval of the Medical Monitor.
9. Major surgical procedures (as defined by Investigator) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug or any ongoing post-operative complications.
10. Receiving any radiotherapy within 3 months
11. Receiving any (investigational or approved) anti-cancer therapy (including chemotherapy or targeted therapy) within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study drug
12. A history of apparent allergic reactions to irinotecan injection (dosed with prior treatment with prophylactic drug)
13. If female, is pregnant or breastfeeding

Effective contraceptive methods include implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, intra-uterine devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence, surgical sterilization, or a partner who is sterile.
15. Receiving live attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
16. Life expectancy \< 3 months.
17. Other prior or ongoing condition(s) that, in the opinion of the investigator, could affect the safety of the subject, compromise the subject's ability to comply with the study requirements or impair the assessment of study results.
