Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Life expectancy of 6 months or greater as assessed by the treating oncologist.
3. Have advanced metastatic disease that has progressed on at least one line of available therapy.
4. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of Grade 3 well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (NET) or poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC; large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, small-cell carcinoma, mixed neuroendocrine non neuroendocrine carcinoma). Note: if an archival tissue sample collected ≤ 2 years from enrollment is unavailable at Screening for diagnostic confirmation, at the Principal Investigator's (PI's) discretion, a screening biopsy will be ordered.
5. For patients in Part 1A, in addition to histological or cytological confirmation of NEC or NET (see Inclusion #4), radiological confirmation of tumor is required.
6. Parts 1B and 2 only: Measurable disease as determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST). At least one lesion must be suitable for multiple injections (up to 6 injections every 2 weeks) with SVV-001. Lesions for injection must be ≥10 mm in longest diameter and deemed safe and suitable for injection by the Investigator.
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
8. Recovered to Grade 1 or baseline from any clinically significant toxicity associated with prior treatments (excluding alopecia) prior to initiation of investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration.
9. Adequate hematological, renal, and liver function defined as follows:
* a. Hepatic:
* i. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (≤5 × ULN if liver metastases are present)
* ii. Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN (unless due to Gilbert's syndrome or hemolysis)
* b. Renal:
* i. Creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/minute using Cockcroft Gault equation

* a. If an archival tissue sample collected ≤ 2 years from enrollment is unavailable at Screening, at the PI's discretion, a screening biopsy will be ordered.
* b. Participants will not undergo a biopsy procedure for collection of the post-treatment biopsy if, in the discretion of their treating physician, the participant's condition has deteriorated to the point where performance of a biopsy procedure would place the participant at an increased risk for complications beyond what is reasonably expected for a biopsy collected as part of the participant's standard medical care.
11. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use a reliable form of contraceptive during the trial treatment period and for at least 7 months following the last dose of IMP.

Exclusion Criteria
2. Has had cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation therapy within 3 weeks; and less than 5 half-lives or 6 weeks, whichever is shorter, from prior biologic therapies, prior to the first dose of SVV-001.
3. Has undergone a major surgical procedure (as defined by the Investigator) or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to the first dose of SVV-001.
4. Has any physical abnormality of the tissue/organ to be biopsied that would put the patient at increased risk of bleeding secondary to the injection and/or biopsy.
5. Has received a live-virus immunization within 30 days prior to the screening visit or anticipates receiving a live virus immunization during the trial or within 30 days of the last treatment with IMP.
6. Presence of an active autoimmune or inflammatory disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 2 months or a documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease that requires systemic steroids or other immunosuppressive medications. Local steroid injections, intermittent use of topical, inhaled, ophthalmologic, intra-articular, or intranasal corticosteroids, or systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent would not result in exclusion from the trial.
7. Presence of primary immunodeficiency or receiving systemic steroids of \>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent or other immunosuppressive agents within 14 days prior to the first dose of SVV-001.
8. Any active infection, including known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), active hepatitis, or seropositive for hepatis B immunoglobulin (Ig) M core antibody or hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA) at the screening visit.

Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible as long as they are stable and there is no evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks after central nervous system-directed treatment, as ascertained by clinical examination and brain imaging (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT)) during the screening period.
12. Any clinically significant (i.e., active) cardiovascular disease, including cerebral vascular accident/stroke (\<6 months prior to enrollment), myocardial infarction (\<6 months prior to enrollment), unstable angina, congestive heart failure (≥ New York Heart Association Classification Class II), or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication.
13. Patients with an ejection fraction (EF) \< 50 on a 2D echocardiogram (ECHO).

15. Any chronic illness, psychiatric condition, or social situation that is life threatening or, in the opinion of the Investigator, renders the patient unsuitable for participation in a clinical trial due to possible noncompliance or would place the patient at an unacceptable risk and/or have the potential to affect interpretation of the results of the trial.
16. Female participants who are breastfeeding and/or who have a positive pregnancy test result prior to receiving any treatment with IMP.
17. Patients with impaired decision-making capacity.
