9. All patients must have measurable disease by applicable RECIST criteria.
10. Willing to allow blood samples to be used for research.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients must not have received prior anticancer therapy or radiation therapy within the 3 weeks and must not have undergone major surgery within 4 weeks prior to initiation of treatment on protocol. Palliative radiation therapy is allowed. For small molecules (MW < 0.9 kDA), the washout period is 3 weeks or 5 half-lives, whatever comes first.
2. Active brain metastasis or leptomeningeal disease. Patients with treated brain metastasis must have stable disease, evidenced by MRI brain imaging for at least 4 weeks, and the patient must have been off steroids for at least 2 weeks prior to first dose of study drug.
3. Previous episodes of ≥ Grade 3 (G3) immune-related toxicity that includes G3 colitis, G3 pneumonitis, G3 skin rash, G3 increase in liver enzymes (with the exception of symptoms that in the opinion of the investigator will not compromise the patients’ safety on the trial. Patients with stable endocrinological AEs (e.g., hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, hypopituitarism, or diabetes mellitus) are allowed.
4. Persistent toxicity of NCI CTCAE version 5 Grade > 1 severity that is related to prior therapy.

5. Concurrent administration of medications or foods that are strong inhibitors or inducers of cytochrome p450 3A (CYP3A) within 2 weeks before study intervention. Alintegimod may increase exposure to CYP3A4 substrates; consider a dose reduction of such substrates and monitor for signs of toxicities of co-administered sensitive CYP3A substrates (see listing of strong inhibitors and inducer drugs in FDA tables). An alternative is to replace such agents with drugs that are not CYP3A4 metabolized if at all feasible.
6. The patient has cardiac conditions as follows:
   • a) myocarditis;
   • b) uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure > 160/100) despite optimal therapy;
   • c) uncontrolled angina; ventricular arrhythmias; congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class II or above);
   • d) prior or current cardiomyopathy;
   • e) uncontrolled atrial fibrillation with heart rate > 100 beats per minute (bpm); unstable ischemic heart disease (myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to starting treatment or angina requiring use of nitrates more than once weekly);
   • f) concomitant medication with drugs known to cause Torsades de Pointes;87
   • g) QT interval correction for heart rate using Fridericia’s formula (QTcF) ≥ 470 ms (average from 3 QTcF values on the triplicate 12-lead electrocardiogram [ECG]) at screening.
7. Known history of a positive test for HIV, or positive test for hepatitis B (positive for HBsAg) or hepatitis C (HCV RNA).
