• Be willing to provide samples (blood and tissue) as required.
• Consent to access any available archival tissue.
• Consent for fresh tumour biopsy samples at baseline and on trial (may be Investigator mandated for patients in the dose escalation phase. Investigators will consider whether a biopsy is feasible for the patient in the dose escalation phase and this will not impede participation in the trial if biopsy is not a suitable option.
• Life expectancy estimated by the Investigator to be at least 12 weeks.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1.
• Aged 16 years or over at the time consent is given.

• Patients must have been previously treated with an ICI
• MMRd tumour, confirmed by either:
• i. Loss of MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, PMS2 by IHC (total or near total) OR ii. Loss of function mutation of MMR gene(s) AND iii. High tumour mutation burden (depends on assay but typically \>15 mutations/MB sequenced).

Exclusion criteria

• <!-- -->
• Radiotherapy (except single fractions for palliative reasons), endocrine therapy during the previous four weeks, immunotherapy and chemotherapy during the previous four weeks(previous six weeks for nitrosoureas, Mitomycin-C) before receiving TT-702. A washout period of eight weeks is required for enzalutamide and apalutamide before the patient receives their first dose of TT-702. A washout period of 4 weeks or 5 half-lives whichever is shorter for any other previous preceding IMPs is required before the patient receives their first dose of TT-702 (no washout is needed from ICI).
• Patients with ongoing toxic manifestations of previous treatments greater than NCI CTCAE Version 5.0 Grade 1. Exceptions to this are alopecia and any ongoing toxic manifestation which in the opinion of the Investigator should not exclude the patient.
• Patients with symptomatic brain or leptomeningeal metastases should be excluded. Asymptomatic patients with previously treated and stable brain metastases (in previous four weeks to trial entry) and not requiring any steroids are eligible for the trial. Patients who are stable on anticonvulsants are also eligible.
• Women of childbearing potential (or are already pregnant or lactating). However, those patients who meet the following points are considered eligible:
• Have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test of a serum sample within 7 days prior to trial inclusion; and
• Agree to use two forms of medically approved contraception: i. one highly effective form including but not limited to: oral, injected,implanted, transdermal or intravaginal hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation; intrauterine device; intrauterine hormonereleasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion or vasectomised partner; ii. plus a barrier method (for example, condom plus spermicide); iii. or agree to sexual abstinence. Effective from the first administration of TT-702, throughout the trial and for six months after the last administration of IMP.
• Male patients with partners of childbearing potential. However, those patients who meet the following points are considered eligible:
• Agree to take measures not to father children by using a barrier method of contraception \[condom plus spermicide\] or sexual abstinence effective from the first administration of IMP throughout the trial and for six months after the last administration of IMP.
• Male patients with pregnant or lactating partners must be advised to use barrier method contraception (for example, condom plus spermicide) to prevent exposure of the foetus or neonate.
• Non-vasectomised male patients must also be willing to ensure that any partner of childbearing potential uses a highly effective method of contraception (for example, oral, injected, implanted, transdermal or intravaginal hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system or bilateral tubal occlusion) or agree to sexual abstinence for the same duration.
• Major thoracic or abdominal surgery from which the patient has not yet recovered.
• At high medical risk because of non-malignant systemic disease including active uncontrolled infection. Patients with previous Hepatitis C exposure but no current infection are eligible to participate.
• Known to be serologically positive for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
• Prior bone marrow transplant or have had extensive radiotherapy to greater than 25% of bone marrow within eight weeks.
• Concurrent congestive heart failure, prior history of class II-IV cardiac disease (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\]), prior history of clinically significant cardiac ischaemia or prior history of clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia. Patients with significant cardiovascular disease are excluded as defined by:
• a. History of congestive heart failure requiring therapy (NYHA III or IV); b. History of unstable angina pectoris or myocardial infarction up to six months prior to trial entry (patients with previous cardiac or thrombotic events who are now stable and or recovered are eligible); c.

History of clinically significant peripheral vascular disease/vasculitis/vasculopathy.
• Is a participant or plans to participate in another interventional clinical trial, whilst taking part in this Phase I/II trial of TT-702. Participation in an observational trial or interventional clinical trial which does not involve administration of an IMP and which would not place an unacceptable burden on the patient in the opinion of the Investigator would be acceptable.
• Previous malignancies of other types, apart from adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri and basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Cancer survivors, who have undergone potentially curative therapy for a prior malignancy, have no evidence of that disease for five years or more and are deemed at negligible risk for recurrence, are eligible for the trial.
• A concomitant significant other illness that might in the opinion of the Investigator affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results, examples include but are not limited to autoimmune diseases or immune deficiency, or other disease with ongoing fibrosis (such as scleroderma, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, neurofibromatosis, palmar/plantar fibromatosis), alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and inherited liver disease, previous organ transplantation, uncontrolled or poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (for example HbA1c \>10%) and patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

• TT-478 (also known as GS-6201 or CVT-6883).
• Patients who take therapies that inhibit or induce CYP3A must be excluded.
• Any other condition which in the Investigator's opinion would not make the patient a good candidate for the clinical trial.
• If a patient is taking any dietary supplements or complementary medicines/botanicals, the Sponsor's Centre for Drug Development (CDD) must be informed at the earliest opportunity both prior to enrolment and during the patient's time on trial.
