Exclusion Criteria
  • Major surgery (major according to the investigator's assessment) performed within 12 weeks prior to study entry or planned within 12 months after screening, e.g. hip replacement

  • Patients who must or wish to continue the intake of restricted medications or any drug considered likely to interfere with the safe conduct of the trial

  • Previous treatment with study medications in this trial

  • Any investigational or anti-tumour treatment within 4 weeks or 5 half-life periods (whichever is shorter) prior to the initiation of trial treatment

  • Any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 1 at the time of starting study treatment with the exception of alopecia and Grade 2 neuropathy due to prior platinum-based therapy

  • (Part II and III only) Prior treatment with anti-LAG-3 agents

  • Untreated brain metastasis(es) that may be considered active. Patients with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (i.e., without evidence of PD by imaging for at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment, and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), and there is no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases

  • Inadequate organ function or bone marrow reserve as demonstrated by the following laboratory values:

  • Any of the following cardiac criteria:

    • Mean resting corrected QT interval (QTc) >470 msec
    • Any clinically important abnormalities (as assessed by the investigator) in rhythm, conduction, or morphology of resting ECGs, e.g., complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block
    • Any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as heart failure, hypokalaemia, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years-of-age, or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval
    • Patients with an ejection fraction <55% or the lower limit of normal of the institutional standard will be excluded. Only in cases where the Investigator (or the treating physician or both) suspects cardiac disease with negative effect on the EF, will the EF be measured during screening using an appropriate method according to local standards to confirm eligibility (e.g., echocardiogram [ECHO], multi-gated acquisition scan [MUGA]). A historic measurement of EF no older than 6 months prior to first administration of study drug can be accepted provided that there is clinical evidence that the EF value has not worsened since this measurement in the opinion of the Investigator or of the treating physician or both.

  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other mAbs

  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to the ingredients of study drug

  • Immunosuppressive corticosteroid doses (>10 mg prednisone daily or equivalent) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment

  • Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or laboratory evidence of hepatitis virus infection with positive results of hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen and/or presence of HBc antibody together with HBV-DNA and/or hepatitis C RNA (HIV and hepatitis test results obtained in routine diagnostics are acceptable if done within 14 days before the informed consent date). However, for patients with hepatocellular cancer in Part III Cohorts C and D, patients with HBV and/or HCV infection are allowed. Hepatocellular cancer patients in Part III Cohorts C and D with HBV infection must be receiving effective antiviral therapy (viral load <100 IU/mL)

  • Current or history of interstitial lung disease

  • Chronic alcohol or drug abuse or any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes him/her an unreliable trial patient, unlikely to complete the trial, or unable to comply with the protocol procedures. However, for patients with hepatocellular cancer in Part III Cohorts C and D, past chronic alcohol abuse are allowed

  • Women who are pregnant, nursing, or who plan to become pregnant during the trial
