[local testing is accepted for eligibility; all patients will have confirmation by central laboratory, but this result is not necessary for eligibility; local molecular pathology result will suffice]. This testing can be from archival or fresh tissue sample and/or blood specimen; any sample, any test positive subjects are eligible.

5. Treatment experience

a. Cohort 1: Anti-tumor treatment naïve subject upon refusal to receive 1st line standard of care, or not tolerated to 1st line standard of care, or progressed after standard of care with no greater than 2 prior treatment regimens (neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and maintenance therapies do not qualify as separate treatment regimens).

6. At least one measurable lesion per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1, with the exception of bone-only disease (i.e., non-measurable disease per RECIST 1.1) with at least 1 radiological non-target lesion.

7. If not menopausal or surgically sterile, willing to practice at least one of the following highly effective methods of birth control for at least a (partner's) menstrual cycle before and for 3 months after study drug administration:

1. Barrier type devices (examples are condom, diaphragm, and contraceptive sponge) used only in combination with a spermicide

2. Sexual intercourse with vasectomized male/sterilized female partner,

3. Hormonal female contraceptive (oral, parenteral, intravaginal, implantable, or transdermal) for at least 3 consecutive months prior to investigational product administration (when not clinically contraindicated as in breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers),

4. Use of an intrauterine contraceptive device. Note: Abstinence, the rhythm method, and/or contraception by the partner are not acceptable methods of birth control

8. Resolution of prior-therapy-related AEs (including immune-related AEs but excluding alopecia) to = Grade 1 per CTCAE v 5.0, and no treatment for these AEs for at least 2 weeks prior to the time of enrollment.

18. History or clinical evidence of any surgical or medical condition which the investigator judges as likely to interfere with the results of the study or pose an additional risk in participating e.g., rapidly progressive or uncontrolled disease involving a major organ system-vascular, cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, gynecologic, hematologic, neurologic, neoplastic, renal, endocrine, autoimmune or an immunodeficiency, or clinically significant active psychiatric or abuse disorders.

19. Is a regular user (including "recreational use") of any illicit drugs or had a recent history (within the last year) of substance abuse (including alcohol).
