dimension to be recorded). Each target lesion must be > 20 mm when measured by
conventional techniques, including palpation, plain x-ray, computed tomography (CT),

treatment)

(within 28 days of starting study treatment)
- Measured creatinine clearance (CL) >40 mL/min or calculated creatinine CL > 40 mL/min
by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine
collection for determination of creatinine clearance (within 28 days of starting study
treatment)
- Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative serum pregnancy test for female
pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been
amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following
age-specific requirements apply:
- Women < 50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been
amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal
treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone
levels in the postmenopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical
sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy)
- Women >= 50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been
amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal
treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, had
chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses > 1 year ago, or underwent
surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or
hysterectomy)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the
last 28 days
- Prior treatment with CD137 agonists, anti-TIGIT antibody, anti-CTLA-4 or anti-PDL1/PD1
antibodies
- Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational
(non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an
interventional study
- Receipt of the last dose of anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, endocrine
therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, tumor embolization, monoclonal
antibodies) =< 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug. If sufficient wash-out
time has not occurred due to the schedule or pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of an
agent, a longer wash-out period will be required, as agreed by study sponsors and the
investigator
- Any unresolved toxicity National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria
for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade >= 2 from previous anticancer therapy with the
exception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion
criteria
- Patients with grade >= 2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis
after consultation with the primary investigator
- Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by
treatment with investigational therapy may be included only after consultation
with the primary investigator
- Any concurrent chemotherapy, investigational produce (IP), biologic, or hormonal
therapy for cancer treatment
- Major surgical procedure (as defined by the Investigator) within 28 days prior to the
first dose of IP
- Note: Local surgery of isolated lesions for palliative intent is acceptable
- History of allogenic organ transplantation
- Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including
inflammatory bowel disease [e.g., colitis or Crohn's disease], diverticulitis [with
the exception of diverticulosis], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome,

infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable
angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease, serious chronic

situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase
risk of incurring adverse events (AEs) or compromise the ability of the patient to
give written informed consent
- Any medical, social, or psychological condition that would interfere with evaluation
of study treatment or interpretation of patient safety or study results
- Active infection including tuberculosis (clinical evaluation that includes clinical
history, physical examination and radiographic findings, and tuberculosis [TB] testing

surface antigen [HBsAg] result), hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus
(positive HIV 1/2 antibodies). Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined
