Exclusion Criteria:

• Subjects with Ewing Sarcoma. See NCT03600649, Protocol Number: SALA-002-EW16.

• Prior therapy with immunotherapy such as a checkpoint inhibitor, cellular therapy or vaccine therapy within 28 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. Patients must have recovered from any immune-related adverse events to grade 1 or baseline and require ≤ 10 mg of prednisone equivalents daily. Patients with immune-related hypothyroidism and/or hypoadrenalism may enroll while on thyroid or hydrocortisone replacement therapy, respectively.
• Prior small port palliative radiotherapy within 14 days or 42 days from definitive local control radiation (any dose greater than 50Gy).
• Anti-androgen therapies for prostate cancer, such as bicalutamide, within 4 weeks prior to enrollment. Second-line hormone therapies such as enzalutamide, abiraterone, or orteronel within 2 weeks prior to enrolment. Subjects with prostate cancer should remain on luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists or antagonists. Subjects with prostate cancer may also remain on low-dose prednisone or prednisolone up to 10 mg/day
• Prior therapy with long acting myeloid growth factor within 14 days or 7 days from a short acting myeloid growth factor.
• Participation in a prior investigational study within 30 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.
• Patients with progressive or symptomatic brain metastases. Patients with brain metastases may be included in this trial as long as the brain metastases have received definitive treatment and are stable (i.e., no evidence of progression). The brain metastases must be stable for a minimum of 6 weeks.
• Patients must have discontinued anti-seizure medications and steroids, except for physiologic steroid dosing (≤10 mg/day of prednisone equivalents).
• Patients currently receiving any of the following substances and cannot be discontinued 14 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1: Moderate or strong inhibitors or inducers of major CYP isoenzymes, including grapefruit, grapefruit hybrids, pomelos, star-fruit, and Seville oranges; Moderate or strong inhibitors or inducers of major drug transporters; Substrates of CYP3A4/5 with a narrow therapeutic index
• Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to: ongoing or active infection; transfusion dependent thrombocytopenia or anemia; psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
• Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac repolarization abnormality, including any of the following: symptomatic congestive heart failure; Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≤ 50%; unstable angina pectoris or cardiac arrhythmia; baseline QTcF (Fridericia) ≥ 450 milliseconds; Long QT syndrome or family history of idiopathic sudden death or congenital long QT syndrome
• Any major surgery within 21 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women
• Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation.
• HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with SP-2577. In addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy.
