16\. Availability of archival tissue or, if unavailable, will be willing to undergo a tumor biopsy if a low-risk biopsy procedure is feasible at Screening. 17. Has a life expectancy of ≥ 3 months at Screening.

Additional Inclusion Criteria for Phase 1 (Dose Escalation and Backfill):

18\. Has pathologically documented advanced, relapsed, or refractory NSCLC (non-squamous), ovarian (high grade serous), gastric/esophageal/GEJ adenocarcinoma, or CRC at Screening. 19. Patient must have progressed on, have relapsed after, be refractory to, or be intolerant of at least 1 prior systemic therapy, without available subsequent standard of care and have no satisfactory alternative treatment options. No more than 4 prior lines of systemic therapy for advanced, relapsed, or refractory disease in NSCLC and ovarian and no more than 3 prior lines of systemic therapy in gastric/esophageal/GEJ adenocarcinoma or CRC (excluding adjuvant chemotherapy).

Additional Inclusion Criteria for Phase 2 (Dose Expansion):

20\. Cohorts for 5 different prioritized tumor types and 1 basket cohort that are advanced/unresectable or metastatic at Screening according to the following criteria:

1. Cohort 2A: NSCLC non-squamous. Histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC (non-squamous) that have relapsed after or are refractory to platinum-doublet based chemotherapy and/or immune checkpoint inhibitor (in combination or sequential). Patients with EGFR or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutations should have been treated with appropriate targeted therapy. Patients must have received no more than 3 prior treatment regimens for advanced disease (excluding adjuvant chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy).
2. Cohort 2B: Ovarian. Histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic high-grade serous ovarian cancer that have relapsed after or are refractory to at least 1 prior line of chemotherapy and have no other satisfactory treatment options. Patients must have received no more than 3 prior treatment regimens for advanced disease (excluding adjuvant chemotherapy or maintenance regimen).
3. Cohort 2C: Gastric/esophageal/GEJ adenocarcinoma. Histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic gastric, esophageal or GEJ adenocarcinoma that have relapsed after or are refractory to at least 1 prior line of therapy. Patients must have received no more than 3 prior treatment regimens for advanced disease (excluding adjuvant chemotherapy).
4. Cohort 2D: CRC. Histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic CRC that have relapsed after or are refractory to at least 1 prior line of therapy. BRAF mutated patients are excluded. Patients must have received no more than 3 prior treatment regimens for advanced disease (excluding adjuvant chemotherapy).
5. Cohort 2E: Pancreatic cancer. Histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer that have relapsed after or are refractory to at least 1 prior systemic treatment regimen. Patients must have received no more than 3 prior treatment regimens for advanced disease (excluding adjuvant chemotherapy).
6. Cohort 2F: Tumor agnostic. Histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic solid tumors other than ones in Cohorts 2A to 2E that have relapsed after treatment without available subsequent standard of care. The tumor indications in this group will be selected based on data from phase 1 and preclinical data.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Has been refractory (did not have a tumor response) to previous treatment with a topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) inhibitor antibody-drug conjugate, at the discretion of the investigator.
2. Has a medical history of symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF; New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] classes II-IV), prior documented left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50%, or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment at Screening and at the discretion of the Investigator.
3. Has a clinically significant medical history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months before Screening at the discretion of the Investigator.
4. Has a QT corrected for heart rate by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \> 470 millisecond (ms) in males and \> 470 ms in females based on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) in triplicate performed at Screening.
5. Has a medical history of clinically significant lung diseases (eg, interstitial pneumonia, pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis, and severe radiation pneumonitis) or who are suspected to have these diseases by imaging at Screening at the discretion of the Investigator.
6. Has an uncontrolled infection requiring IV injection of antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals at Screening at the discretion of the Investigator.
7. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or active hepatitis B or C infection at Screening. If known history of hepatitis, active hepatitis B infection is defined as hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) positive or hepatitis B virus (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) positive; and active hepatitis C infection is defined as hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) positive.
8. Is a lactating mother (women who are willing to temporarily interrupt breastfeeding will also be excluded), or pregnant as confirmed by pregnancy tests performed within 7 days before Screening.
9. Male and female patients who are unwilling to use contraceptive methods at Screening (eg, concomitant use of a spermicidal agent and barrier contraceptive, intrauterine contraceptive during the study and for at least 7 months after the last dose of XYA02).
10. Has clinically active brain metastases, defined as untreated and symptomatic, or requires therapy with steroids or anticonvulsants to control associated symptoms at Screening and at the discretion of the Investigator. Note: Patients with untreated asymptomatic brain metastases may be included in the study if they do not require radiotherapy treatment or surgical treatment, do not require treatment with steroids, and there are no untreated brain lesions \> 20 mm in size.
11. Has unresolved toxicities from previous anticancer therapy, defined as toxicities (other than alopecia, lymphopenia) not yet resolved to NCI-CTCAE Grade ≤ 1 or baseline at Screening. Patients with chronic Grade 2 toxicities may be eligible per the discretion of the Investigator (eg, peripheral neuropathy, endocrinopathies).
12. Has a concomitant medical condition that would increase the risk of toxicity at Screening.
13. Has known hypersensitivity to either the drug substances or inactive ingredients in the drug product at Screening.
14. Has multiple primary malignancies within 3 years, except adequately resected non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in-situ disease, other solid tumors curatively treated, or contralateral breast cancer at Screening.
