Primary Outcome Measures :
1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 years ]
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ at any time during the trial. Responses will be determined by independent central radiologic review, with confirmatory assessment as required per RECIST 1.1. Participants with unknown or missing response information will be treated as non-responders. The percentage of participants who experience a CR or PR based on modified RECIST 1.1 will be presented.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
1. Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 years ]
DOR, defined in the subset of participants with a CR or PR, based on RECIST 1.1 as assessed by independent central radiologic review, as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until the first documented sign of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. A Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. Participants who are alive, have not progressed, have not initiated new anti-cancer treatment, and have not been determined to be lost to follow-up are considered ongoing responders at the time of analysis.

2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 years ]
PFS is defined as the time from allocation to the first documented disease progression according to RECIST 1.1 as assessed by independent central radiologic review, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. If a participant does not have a documented date of progression or death, PFS will be censored at the date of the last adequate assessment.

3. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 years ]
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. OS is presented. Censoring will be performed using the date of last known contact for those who are alive at the time of analysis.

Inclution Criteria

Subject Inclusion Criteria
In order to be eligible for participation in this trial, the subject must:
(1) Be willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial.
The subject may also provide consent/assent for Future Biomedical Research.
However, the subject may participate in the main trial without participating in
Future Biomedical Research.
(2) Be ≥18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent.
(3) Have a histologically or cytologically-documented, advanced (metastatic
and/or unresectable) solid tumor that is incurable and for which prior standard
first-line treatment has failed. Patients must have progressed on or be intolerant
to therapies that are known to provide clinical benefit. There is no limit to the
number of prior treatment regimens.
Note: Prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy included in initial treatment
may not be considered first- or later-line SOC treatment unless such
treatments were completed less than 12 months prior to the current tumor
recurrence.
(4) Have one of the following advanced (unresectable and/or metastatic) tumor
types:
((A) Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma,
(B) Biliary Adenocarcinoma (gallbladder or biliary tree (intrahepatic
or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) except Ampulla of Vater
Cancers,
(C) Neuroendocrine Tumors (well- and moderately-differentiated), of
the lung, appendix, small intestine, colon, rectum, or pancreas,
(D) Endometrial Carcinoma (sarcomas and mesenchymal tumors are
excluded),
(E) Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma,
(F) Vulvar Squamous Cell Carcinoma,
(G) Small Cell Lung Carcinoma,
(H) Mesothelioma (Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma),
(I) Thyroid Carcinoma (Papillary or Follicular Subtypes),

excluded)
OR
(K) Any other advanced solid tumor (except CRC), which is MSI-H.
(5) Have submitted an evaluable tissue sample for biomarker analysis from a
tumor lesion not previously irradiated (exceptions may be considered after
Sponsor consultation). (See Procedure Manual for detailed instructions).
The tumor tissue submitted for analysis must be from a single tumor tissue
specimen and of sufficient quantity and quality to allow assessment of ALL
required primary biomarkers.
Note: SUBJECTS WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO ENROLL INTO
GROUPS A-J UNLESS ALL THREE PRIMARY BIOMARKERS
(TUMOR PD-L1 EXPRESSION, GEP SCORE, and MSI-H STATUS)
CAN BE ASSESSED USING TISSUE FROM THE SAME SINGLE
TUMOR SPECIMEN.
(6) If enrollment in Groups A-J has moved to biomarker enrichment, have a tumor
that is positive for one or more of the pre-specified primary biomarker(s), as
assessed by the central laboratory. These enrichment biomarkers may be
PD-L1 expression by IHC (at a percentage to be prespecified), a positive tumor
RNA GEP score (at a prespecified cut-off), and/or tumor MSI-H.
(7) Have radiologically measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1. Independent
central radiologic review must confirm the presence of radiologically
measureable disease based on RECIST 1.1 for the subject to be eligible to
participate in the trial (see Site Imaging Manual for detailed instructions).
Tumor lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered
measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
(8) Have a performance status of 0 or 1 on the ECOG Performance Scale.
(9) Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined in Table 1.
(10) Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or
serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of trial
medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a
serum pregnancy test will be required.

to use an adequate method of contraception, as outlined in Section 5.7.2. –
Contraception, for the course of the study through 120 days after the last dose
of trial medication.
Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred
contraception method for the subject.
(12) Male subjects of childbearing potential (See Section 5.7.2.) must agree to use
an adequate method of contraception, as outlined in Section 5.7.2. –
Contraception, for the course of the study through 120 days after the last dose
