Inclusion Criteria
Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all the following criteria apply:
1. Signed ICF.
2. Participants should be ≥ 18 years (in the US) or ≥19 years (in South Korea) of age at the time of signing the ICF.
3. Histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of selected advanced or metastatic solid tumors (relapsed/refractory disease).
4. Selected advanced solid tumors (PDAC, CRC, BTC, HNSCC, EC, and GC) with sufficient target (NTSR1) expression confirmed by SKL35502 imaging as defined in Inclusion Criterion 5, that have progressed following at least one prior line of therapy or for which no other standard therapy with proven clinical benefit is currently available or recommended based on the Investigator's individual risk-benefit assessment. Patients with MSI-H/dMMR CRC must have previously received and progressed on, been intolerant to, or been deemed ineligible for an FDA-approved immune checkpoint inhibitor, unless such therapy is contraindicated.
5. Sufficient target (NTSR1) expression on SKL35502 imaging, defined as uptake above background in at least 1 RECIST v1.1 measurable lesion, with background activity defined in accordance with the Imaging Charter. For study eligibility, NTSR1 positivity will be determined locally at the site by the Investigator based on review by a qualified site nuclear medicine physician/radiologist, as applicable. SKL35502 images and required lesion documentation will also be submitted for central review for dosimetry, biodistribution, lesion alignment, image quality control, and consistency of image analyses across sites. Central review will not replace the site determination of eligibility except in equivocal cases requiring adjudication.

1. Residual neurological symptoms ≤ Grade 1

3. Follow-up MRI or CT scan shows no progression of treated lesions and no new lesions.
7. Measurable disease on imaging, as assessed by RECIST v1.1 and/or RANO-BM for brain metastases (Eisenhauer et al, 2009).

* Male patients with female partner(s) of non-childbearing potential (i.e., postmenopausal or surgically sterile for at least 6 months prior to Screening):
* No additional contraception method is required.
11. Adequate hematologic and end-organ function, defined based on the following laboratory results obtained within (≤) 14 days prior to C1D1:
1. ANC ≥ 1.5 × 109/L (1500/μL), without G-CSF support. G-CSF may be administered until (\>) 14 days prior to C1D1.
2. Platelet counts ≥ 100 × 109/L (100,000/μL) without receiving any thrombopoietin receptor agonists, other therapies for thrombocytopenia or platelet transfusion for ≥ 14 days prior to C1D1.
3. Hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L (9 g/dL). Patients may be transfused or receive erythropoietic treatment to meet this criterion until (\>) 14 days prior to C1D1.
