  • ECOG performance status 0-1
  • life expectancy \> 12 weeks
  • adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal function
  • baseline electrocardiogram (EKG) without evidence of acute ischemia or prolonged QTc interval \> 460 msec
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected participants must be on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and have well-controlled HIV infection/disease
  • last dose of previous anticancer therapy (including investigational agents) ≥ 28 days, radiotherapy ≥ 14 days (targeted palliative radiotherapy is allowed for lesions not planned for injections), or surgical intervention ≥ 21 days prior to the start of treatment
  • resolution of all prior anticancer therapy toxicities (except for alopecia or vitiligo) to ≤ Grade 1 (as per NCI CTCAE Version 5.0)
  • willing to provide pre- and post-treatment tumor biopsy samples if medically feasible
  • participant is capable of understanding and complying with protocol requirements

Exclusion

  • injectable tumors impinging upon major airways or blood vessels
  • prior treatment with recombinant interleukin-12 (IL-12)
  • have received systemic therapy with immunosuppressive agents ≤ 28 days before the start of treatment
  • have received live vaccines within 28 days prior to the start of ANK-101 treatment
  • have primary or acquired immunodeficient states (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma)
  • a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who has a positive serum pregnancy test (within 72 hours) prior to the start of treatment or female participant who is breastfeeding
  • prior organ transplantation
  • known history of hepatitis B virus, known active hepatitis C virus, or a positive serological test at screening within 28 days prior to the start of treatment
  • HIV-infected participants with a history of Kaposi sarcoma and/or Multicentric Castleman Disease
  • active autoimmune disease or medical conditions requiring chronic steroid (i.e., ≥ 20 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive therapy within 28 days prior to the start of treatment
  • known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases
  • congestive heart failure (\> New York Heart Association Class II), active coronary artery disease, unevaluated new onset angina within 3 months or unstable angina (angina symptoms at rest), or clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias
  • uncontrolled bleeding disorders within 4 weeks prior to the start of treatment or known bleeding diathesis - Note: Part 2 only: Participants with active bleeding diathesis or requirement for therapeutic anticoagulation that cannot be interrupted or altered for procedures
  • history of hypersensitivity to compounds of similar biological composition to IL-12, aluminum hydroxide, or drugs formulated with polysorbate-20
  • other systemic conditions or organ abnormalities that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with the conduct and/or interpretation of the current study
  • any acute or chronic psychiatric problems or substance abuse disorder that, in the opinion of the Investigator, make the participant unsuitable for participation
  • Part 3 only: prior Grade 3 or greater immune-mediated adverse events (imAEs) following treatment with an agent that blocks the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathway.
  • Part 3 only: hypersensitivity to cemiplimab or any of its excipients or contraindications to cemiplimab per approved local labeling
