In Part-A, Sym004 will be administered weekly or biweekly as monotherapy in Japanese subjects with advanced solid tumors. In Part-B, Sym004 will be administered weekly as monotherapy to Japanese subjects with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) as dose-expansion. A subject will receive Sym004 administration weekly at a dose that will determined to be the MTD or a dose that will lower than the MTD and determined to be appropriate with recommendation by Safety monitoring committee (SMC).
