- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
- Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks
- Measurable disease
- Tissue specimen available for retrospective analysis of PD-1, PD-L1, LAG-3, and MHC-II expression
- Acceptable laboratory parameters
HER2+ Cohort:
- Locally advanced or metastatic HER2+ locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, regardless of organ of origin.
i. The cancer must have progressed following standard therapy, or has progressed during or after HER2-directed therapy if approved and available for patients with HER2+ breast, gastric, or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
ii. History of HER2 positivity defined as 3+ by IHC or 2+ by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) in combination with in situ hybridization (ISH) positivity most recent tumor biopsy.
- All patients in the HER2+ cohort must be willing to provide consent for a baseline and on-treatment tumor biopsy during the screening period and within 14 days prior to Cycle 3 Day 1. Exceptions may be made based on a medical contraindication at the discretion of the Sponsor's Medical Monitor. This requirement will be discontinued after an adequate number of samples are collected, as determined by the Sponsor.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases or primary CNS lymphoma
- History of allogeneic bone marrow, stem-cell, or solid organ transplant
- History of known or suspected autoimmune disease with the specific exceptions of vitiligo, resolved childhood atopic dermatitis, psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment (within the past 2 years), and patients with a history of Grave's disease that are now euthyroid clinically and by laboratory testing.
- Treatment with any systemic chemotherapy within 3 weeks prior to the initiation of study drug; treatment with biologics or investigational therapy within the 4 weeks prior to the initiation of study drug.
- Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the initiation of study drug.
- Prior treatment with combination of monoclonal antibodies against PD-1 and LAG-3 (Cohort Expansion only).
- Treatment with radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to the initiation of study drug.
- Clinically significant cardiovascular disease.
- QTcF prolongation > 480 milliseconds
- HER2+ cohort: left ventricular ejection fraction less than 50%
- Clinically significant pulmonary compromise, including a requirement for supplemental oxygen use to maintain adequate oxygenation.
- Active pneumonitis or history of non-infectious pneumonitis.
- Clinically significant gastrointestinal disorders.
- Evidence of active viral, bacterial, or systemic fungal infection requiring parenteral treatment within 7 days prior to the initiation of study drug.
- Known history of positive testing for human immunodeficiency virus or history of acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
- Known history of hepatitis B (except in hepatocellular carcinoma) or hepatitis C infection or known positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antigen, or hepatitis C polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
- Vaccination with any live virus vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the initiation of study drug administration. Inactivated annual influenza vaccination is allowed
- Dementia or altered mental status that would preclude understanding and rendering of informed consent
- Confirmed or presumed COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 infection. While SARS-CoV-2 testing is not mandatory for study entry, testing should follow local clinical practice guidelines/standards. Patients with a positive test result for SARS-CoV-2 infection, known asymptomatic infection, or presumed infection are excluded. Patients may be considered eligible after a resolved SARS-CoV-2 infection once he or she remains afebrile for at least 72 hours and after other SARS-CoV-2-related symptoms have fully recovered to baseline for a minimum of 72 hours.
