A Study of ASP1951 in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

Inclusion Criteria:

* Subject has locally-advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumor malignancy (no limit to the number of prior treatment regimens) that is confirmed by available pathology records or current biopsy as well as the following:

  * Subject in the escalation cohort has received all standard therapies (unless the therapy is contraindicated or intolerable) felt to provide clinical benefit the subject's specific tumor type. OR

\[Taiwan only\]: Subject has locally-advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumor malignancy (no limit to the number of prior treatment regimens) that is confirmed by available pathology records or current biopsy and has received all standard therapies (unless the therapy is contraindicated or intolerable) felt to provide clinical benefit in the opinion of the treating investigator for his/her specific tumor type. Note: Subjects in the combination expansion cohort with tumor types that pembrolizumab is not approved for can only enroll if their standard treatment is ineffective, unsuitable per investigator's judgment or if the subject is unwilling to receive the standard therapy.

* Subject is an appropriate candidate for tumor biopsy and consents to undergoing a tumor biopsy (core needle biopsy or excision) during the treatment period as indicated in the Schedule of Assessments. Note: This does not apply to subjects with mCRPC who do not have measurable disease.
* Subject meets one of the following:

  * Subject has the tumor type for which a confirmed response was observed in a monotherapy or combination therapy cohort; or
  * Subject has SCCHN and a combination therapy expansion cohort is opened due to achieving the predicted efficacious exposure or
  * High dose RP2D combination therapy expansion cohorts are opened and subject has NSCLC (all PD-L1 status), NSCLC PD-L1 high\*, SCCHN, or cervical cancer; or
  * Low dose RP2D combination therapy expansion cohorts are opened and subject has NSCLC (all PD-L1 status), SCCHN and cervical cancer.

    * NSCLC with PD-L1 high expressing tumor (tumor proportion score ≥ 50%) as determined by 22C3 PD-L1 immunohistochemistry assay at a local/central laboratory during the screening period. Note: Local 22C3 PD-L1 IHC assay results available within 60 days prior study drug administration may be used for evaluating this entry criterion.
