Inclusion Criteria:
1. =18 years of age.
2. Have signed and dated an independent review board (IRB)/independent ethics committee
(IEC) approved informed consent form (ICF) in accordance with regulatory and
institutional guidelines. This must be obtained before the performance of any
protocol-related procedures that are not part of normal patient care.
3. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, laboratory
tests, fresh tumor biopsies, and all other protocol requirements.
4. At least 1 measurable disease lesion by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) as defined by RECIST v1.1 performed within 1 week prior to first dose.
5. Willing to undergo one pre-treatment core biopsy (unless archival tumor tissue is
available within 3 months of first dose) and one on-treatment tumor biopsy, unless not
safe or medically feasible. If the patient is unwilling to undergo biopsy, they may be
eligible with approval of the medical monitor.
6. Evaluable tumor tissue (archived [without time constraints] or new biopsy) must be
provided for biomarker analysis, which will include PD-L1 expression level using
immunohistochemistry (IHC) to measure specific PD-L1 signals in tumor-infiltrating
immune cells (ICs). Results are not required prior to start of study treatment.
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =1.
8. Life expectancy =12 weeks.
9. Baseline laboratory values must meet the following criteria within 14 days of the
first dose:
1. Adequate hematologic function, defined as white blood cell (WBC) count =2.0 ×
109/L, absolute neutrophil count =1.5 × 109/L (without granulocyte
colony-stimulating factor [GCSF] support within 2 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1),
lymphocyte count =0.5 × 109/L, hemoglobin =9.0 g/dL (patients may be transfused
or receive erythropoietic treatment to meet this criterion), and platelet count
=100 × 109/L (without transfusion within 2 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1).
2. Calculated creatinine clearance =30 mL/min.
3. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline
phosphatase (ALP) <2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN). ALT and AST =5 × ULN if

have total bilirubin <3.0 mg/dL).
5. International normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time
(aPTT) =1.5 × ULN. This applies to patients who are not receiving therapeutic
anticoagulation; patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation should be on a
stable dose.
6. Serum albumin >2.5 g/dL
10. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum or urine ß human
chorionic gonadotropin (ßhCG) pregnancy test within 1 week before administration of
study drug WOCBP is defined as any female who has =12 months of non-therapy induced
amenorrhea or is surgically sterile.
11. Women must not be breastfeeding.
12. Willingness of male and female patients who are not surgically sterile or
postmenopausal to use medically acceptable methods of birth control for the duration
of study treatment, including 30 days after the last dose of IPI-549 and of
nab-paclitaxel, or 6 months after the last dose of atezolizumab or bevacizumab,
whichever is later. Male patients must refrain from donating sperm for these same
periods. Male patients with a pregnant female partner must agree to remain abstinent
or use a condom during the treatment period and for the duration of the pregnancy.
Patients in Cohort A must meet the following additional criteria for inclusion:

2. ER and PR negativity defined as <1% of cells expressing hormonal receptors via
IHC analysis
2. No prior chemotherapy or targeted systemic therapy for inoperable locally advanced or
metastatic TNBC. Radiation therapy for metastatic disease is permitted. There is no
required minimum washout period for radiation therapy. Patients should be recovered
from the effects of radiation. Prior chemotherapy (including taxanes) in the
neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting is allowable if treatment was completed =12 months
prior to randomization.
Patients in Cohort B must meet the following additional criteria for inclusion:
1. Men or women with histologically documented unresectable advanced or metastatic RCC
with clear-cell histology.
2. No prior treatment with active or experimental systemic agents, including treatment in

Exclusion Criteria:
1. WOCBP who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
2. Women with a positive pregnancy test at enrollment or prior to administration of study
medication.
3. Any serious or uncontrolled medical disorder that, in the opinion of the Investigator,
may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug
administration, impair the ability of the patient to receive protocol therapy, or
interfere with the interpretation of study results, including significant liver
disease (such as cirrhosis, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, or superior vena cava
syndrome).
4. Any history of, or currently active, brain or leptomeningeal metastases.
5. Significant cardiovascular disease, such as New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac
disease (Class II or greater), myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to
randomization, unstable arrhythmias, or unstable angina. Patients with a known left
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <40% will be excluded. Patients with known
coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure not meeting the above criteria, or
LVEF <50% must be on a stable medical regimen that is optimized in the opinion of the
treating physician, in consultation with a cardiologist if appropriate.
6. Baseline QT interval corrected with Fridericia's method (QTcF) >480 ms.
7. Major surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or anticipation of the
need for a major surgical procedure during the course of the study other than for
diagnosis. Placement of central venous access catheter(s) (e.g., port or similar) is
not considered a major surgical procedure and is therefore permitted.
8. Active tuberculosis.
9. Ongoing systemic bacterial, fungal, or viral infections at Screening.
10. Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
11. Active hepatitis B (defined as having a positive hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]

denosumab use and replace it with a bisphosphonate instead while on study. There is no
required minimum washout period for denosumab. Patients who are receiving
bisphosphonate therapy specifically to prevent skeletal events and who do not have a
history of clinically significant hypercalcemia are eligible.

confined early stage cancer that has been definitively treated with curative intent,
does not require ongoing treatment, has no evidence of residual active disease, and
has a negligible risk of recurrence and is therefore unlikely to interfere with the
primary and secondary endpoints of the study, including response rate and safety.
