   • Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): Must have failed a platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen or Immuno Oncology (IO) agent in the first line. Must have failed a previous immune checkpoint inhibitor. Must not have any history of tumors that test positive for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (ROS1) , Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) mutations or ALK fusions or any other mutations for which tyrosine kinase inhibitors are available.
   • Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC): Must have failed at least one prior systemic therapy. Must have failed a previous IO agent.
   • Urothelial Cancer: Must have failed at least one prior systemic therapy. Must have failed a previous IO agent.
   • Merkel Cell: Must have failed at least 1 prior systemic therapy for advanced disease and may have failed a previous IO agent.
   • Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Skin: Must have failed at least 1 prior systemic therapy for advanced disease and may have failed a previous IO agent.
3. For Phase 2a: Must have histological or cytological confirmation of a solid tumor that is locally advanced or metastatic. At least one cancer type will be selected amongst the ones evaluated in the Phase 1b part of the study.
4. Have adequate organ function
5. Have a performance status (PS) of 0 or 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale
6. Have discontinued cytotoxic therapy, biologic therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and cancer-related hormonal therapy at least 21 days prior to study enrollment
