• Patients who received an investigational agent \<7 days prior to their first day of study drug administration.
• Chronic systemic corticosteroid treatment with a dose of \>10 mg prednisone/day or dose equivalent.

Other illness

• Patients for whom potentially curative anti-cancer therapy is available.
• Patients with uncontrolled, active infection.
• Patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the IO-202 formulation.

Lab values

• Patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV congestive heart failure (CHF) or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<40%.
• Donor Lymphocyte Infusion within 30 days prior to first IO-202 administration.
• Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.

Other
