Patients manifesting progression in lesions previously treated with stereotactic radiosurgery may still be eligible if pseudoprogression can be demonstrated by appropriate means and after discussion with the medical monitor.

• Any CNS disease is asymptomatic, any neurologic symptoms due to CNS disease have returned to baseline, or non-serious CNS diseases that are asymptomatic and deemed irreversible (eg, peripheral neuropathy), the patient is off steroids for at least 7 days (physiologic doses of steroids are permitted), and the patient is off or on stable doses of anti-epileptic drugs for malignant CNS disease and has not had a seizure within 1 month prior to the screening visit.

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of ≤ 2.

• Hematologic function, as follows (transfusions or growth factor support must not be administered within 7 days prior to obtaining screening labs):

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L

• Platelet count ≥ 75 x 109/L

• Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL

• Adequate renal laboratory assessments, as follows:

• Estimated glomerular filtration rate based on Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) calculation ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m2

• Hepatic function, as follows:

• Total bilirubin (TBL) ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≤ 3 x ULN for participants with liver metastasis

• Aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤ 3 x ULN or ≤ 5 x ULN for participants with liver metastasis

• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 x ULN or ≤ 5 x ULN for participants with liver metastasis

• Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x ULN or ≤ 5 x ULN for participants with liver metastasis

Exclusion Criteria:

Disease Related

• Primary brain tumor, untreated or symptomatic brain metastases and leptomeningeal disease.

Other Medical Conditions

• History of other malignancy within the past 2 years, with the following exception[s]:

• Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease present for ≥ 3 years before enrollment and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by the treating physician.

• Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease.

• Adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease.

• Adequately treated breast ductal carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease.

• Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia without evidence of prostate cancer.

• Adequately treated urothelial papillary noninvasive carcinoma or carcinoma in situ.

• Participants with NSCLC squamous cell carcinoma (Part 1), MSLN negative NSCLC squamous cell carcinoma (Part 2), or MSLN negative NSCLC adenocarcinoma (Part 2) once the participant has been screened for MSLN expression.

• Participants with sarcomatoid mesothelioma and small cell lung cancer will be excluded from both the Dose Exploration (Part 1) and Dose Expansion (Part 2) parts of the study.

• History of solid organ transplantation.

• Major surgery within 28 days of study day 1.

Prior/Concomitant Therapy

• Anti-tumor therapy (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, antibody therapy, molecular targeted therapy, or investigational agent) within 21 days prior to study day 1.

• Treatment with a checkpoint inhibitor within 9 weeks prior to study day 1.

• Live vaccine therapy within 4 weeks prior to study drug administration.

• Current treatment or within 14 days of day 1 with immunosuppressive corticosteroid defined as > 10 mg prednisone daily or equivalent. Steroids with no minimal systemic effect (such as topical or inhalation) are permitted.

Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience

• Currently receiving treatment in another investigational device or drug study, or less than 21 days prior to study day 1 since ending treatment on another investigational device or drug study(ies).

• Evidence of active or radiological sequelae of non-infectious pneumonitis.

• History of any immune-related colitis. Infectious colitis is allowed if evidence of adequate treatment and clinical recovery exists and at least 3 months interval observed since diagnosis of colitis.

• History of allergic reactions or acute hypersensitivity reaction to antibody therapies.

• Positive/non-negative test results for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

• Hepatitis B and C based on the following results:

• Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) (indicative of chronic hepatitis B or recent acute hepatitis B)

• Negative HBsAG and positive for hepatitis B core antibody: hepatitis B virus DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is necessary. Detectable hepatitis B virus DNA suggests occult hepatitis B.

• Positive hepatitis C virus antibody (HCVAb): hepatitis C virus RNA by PCR is necessary. Detectable hepatitis C virus RNA suggests chronic hepatitis C.

• Active infection requiring oral or intravenous therapy.

• Active or history of any autoimmune disease or immunodeficiencies. Participants with diabetes Type 1, vitiligo, psoriasis, hypo- or hyper-thyroid disease not requiring immunosuppressive treatment are permitted.

• Unresolved toxicities from prior anti-tumor therapy, defined as not having resolved to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 grade 1, or are stable and well controlled with minimal, local, or noninvasive intervention AND there is agreement to allow by both the investigator and the Amgen Medical Monitor.

• Any history of grade 3 or higher colitis, pneumonitis, or neurological toxicity OR

• Unresolved toxicities from prior checkpoint inhibitor therapy, defined as not having resolved to CTCAE v5.0 grade 1.

• Exception: - clinically stable hypothyroid status managed with hormone replacement therapy, is permitted
