Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this trial is to learn about the antibody GEN1055 when it is used alone and when it is used together with another antibody cancer drug, pembrolizumab (with or without chemotherapy), for treatment of participants with certain types of cancer. Participants will receive either GEN1055 alone, GEN1055 with pembrolizumab, or GEN1055 with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. All participants will receive active drug; no one will receive placebo. This trial has 2 parts. The purpose of the first part is to find out if GEN1055 is safe and to find out the doses of GEN1055 to use alone and to use with pembrolizumab. The purpose of the second part is to give GEN1055 to more participants to see how well the doses of GEN1055 that were selected in the first part work against cancer alone and how well they work with pembrolizumab (with or without other chemotherapy). A participant will receive trial treatment up to a maximum of 24 months for pembrolizumab-containing regimens, or until: - the cancer progresses. - there are side effects requiring that treatment be stopped. - the participant decides to not participate further in this trial. - the doctor believes it is in the participant's best interest to stop treatment. Participation in the trial will require visits to the site. For the first 12 weeks there will be weekly visits and after that, visits will be every 3 weeks. At site visits, there will be various tests (such as blood draws) and procedures (such as recording of heart activity, computed tomography (CT) scans) to monitor whether the treatment is safe and effective. The trial duration (including screening, treatment, and follow-up) for each participant will be about 39 months.

Description:

This is a multi-center trial and will be conducted in two parts: dose escalation (phase 1a/1b) and expansion (phase 2a). The Dose Escalation part of the trial will evaluate dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and if reached, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The Expansion part will evaluate safety, tolerability, mechanism of action (MoA), immunogenicity, pharmacokinetic (PK), and initial antitumor activity of the selected doses and schedules in selected tumor indications.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

All cohorts:

• Be at least 18 years of age.
• Have measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1.
• Provide all pre-baseline scans since failure of last prior therapy (ie, documented radiographic progressive disease [PD]), if available.
• Have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) score of 0 to 1 at screening and on C1D1 pretreatment.
• Provide a biopsy (ie, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded slides/block). A fresh biopsy taken during the screening period is preferred, unless medically unfeasible and after review and approval by the sponsor. If this cannot be provided, a biopsy taken after failure/stop of last prior treatment and taken within 6 months prior to C1D1 may be provided.

Phase 1a and 1b- Dose Escalation:

• Have histologically or cytologically confirmed non-Central Nervous System (CNS) primary solid tumors who have metastatic or advanced disease.
• Have progressed on standard of care (SoC) therapy which should include platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD/PD-L1 therapies, if applicable for the tumor type, or for whom there is no available standard therapy likely to provide clinical benefit, and for whom experimental therapy with GEN1055 or GEN1055+pembrolizumab may be beneficial, in the opinion of the investigator. Phase 2a - Expansion: Inclusion criteria specific to selected tumor indications may apply.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Has uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to:
• Ongoing or active infection requiring IV treatment with anti-infective therapy administered less than 2 weeks prior to first dose (including coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19] infection).
• Significant cardiovascular impairment including:

i) Symptomatic congestive heart failure (Class III or IV as classified by the New York Heart Association), unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac arrhythmia. ii) Uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure =160-millimeter (mm) Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure =100 mm Hg, despite optimal medical management. iii) Prolonged corrected QT interval at baseline of =470 milliseconds using Fridericia's QT correction formula.

• Ongoing or recent (within 1 year of screening) evidence of significant autoimmune disease that required treatment with systemic immunosuppressive treatments, which may suggest risk for immune-related adverse events (irAEs).
• History of grade 3 or higher irAEs that led to treatment discontinuation of a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI). A participant with irAEs below grade 3 that led to discontinuation should be discussed with the sponsor. Grade 3 irAEs that have fully recovered may also be discussed.
• History of chronic liver disease (eg, alcoholic hepatitis or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis), drug-related or autoimmune hepatitis, or evidence of hepatic cirrhosis.
• Evidence of interstitial lung disease.
• Ongoing pneumonitis (any grade) including any radiological change of ongoing pneumonitis at baseline or history of noninfectious drug-, immune-, or radiation-related pneumonitis that has required steroids.
• Has been exposed to any of the following prior therapies/treatments within the

specified timeframes:

• Treatment with an anticancer agent within 4 weeks or for systemic therapies within 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is shorter, prior to trial treatment administration.
• Condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of first treatment. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal or pituitary replacement steroid >10 mg daily prednisone equivalent, are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.
• Has received granulocyte or granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor support within 2 weeks prior to first trial treatment administration or is chronically transfusion-dependent.
• RT within 14 days before the planned first dose of trial treatment. Palliative RT of bone metastases up to 7 days prior to C1D1 will be allowed.
• Hepatitis (testing for hepatitis B or C is not required unless mandated by local

health authority):

• Hepatitis B virus (HBV): Has a medical history or positive serology for HBV (defined as positive for hepatitis B surface antigen or HBV deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA]). i) Above is not exclusionary if deemed due to vaccination, resolved natural infection, or passive immunization due to immunoglobulin therapy.
• Hepatitis C virus (HCV): Known active HCV infection (defined as positive for HCV ribonucleic acid [RNA] [qualitative]). Note: Other protocol defined inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
