Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) Currently receiving active treatment in any other clinical study, or administration of other investigational agent. 2) Treatment with any systemic anticancer therapy including investigational agent within 4 weeks of the first dose of the study drug, 6 weeks for mitomycin C or nitrosoureas, 2 weeks (or 5 half-lives whichever is longer) for using fluorouracil or small molecule targeted drugs, 2 weeks for using traditional Chinese medicine with anti-tumor indication. Anticancer therapies include cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted inhibitors, and immunotherapies, but do not include hormonal therapy or radiotherapy for bone metastases >2 weeks prior to first AFM24 infusion (i.e.,Day-7). 3) Radiation therapy within 4 weeks before first dose of study drug (with the exception of limited palliative radiotherapy) or unresolved (CTCAE v5.0 >Grade 1) toxicity from previous radiotherapy (e.g. radiation dermatitis). 4) Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day -7 or anticipation of need for a major surgical procedure during the course of the study. 5) Has received transfusion of blood products (including platelets or red blood cells) or administration of colony stimulating factors (including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or recombinant erythropoietin) within 14 days prior to first AFM24 infusion (i.e. D-7). 6) Patients with toxicities (because of prior anticancer therapy) which have not recovered to baseline or CTCAE v5.0 = Grade 1, except for AEs not considered a likely safety risk (e.g. alopecia, neuropathy, specific laboratory abnormalities). 7) History of interstitial lung disease, or non-infectious pneumonitis, organizing pneumonia, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening. 8) History of any other invasive malignancy, unless previously treated with curative intent and the patient has been disease free for 3 years or longer. Acceptable previous malignancies include completely removed in situ cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia, non-melanoma skin cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, and early-stage prostate cancer that has been adequately treated. 9) Untreated or symptomatic central nervous system metastases including leptomeningeal disease or spinal cord compression. 10) One or more of the following cardiac criteria: a.
