A Study of FAZ053 Single Agent and in Combination With PDR001 in Patients With Advanced Malignancies.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Written informed consent prior to any procedure.

- Dose escalation cohorts of FAZ053 single agent and FAZ053 in combination with PDR001:
Patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors with measurable or non-measurable
disease as determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version
1.1 who may or may not have received prior treatment with an immune checkpoint
inhibitor, who have progressed despite standard therapy, or for whom no standard
therapy is available.

- Dose expansion groups of FAZ053 single agent: Patients with advanced/metastatic solid
tumors with at least one measurable lesion as determined by RECIST version 1.1 who may
or may not have received prior treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (for
FAZ053 single agent no treatment with an anti-PD-L1 inhibitor is permitted), who have
progressed despite standard therapy, or for whom no standard therapy is available and
fit into one of the following groups:

- FAZ053 single agent: TNBC/ Chordoma/ ASPS

- Performance Status (PS) ≤ 2:

- Patient must have a site of disease amenable to biopsy and be a candidate for tumor
biopsy according to the treating institution's guidelines. Patient must be willing to
undergo a new tumor biopsy at screening/ baseline and during therapy on this study.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Presence of symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases or CNS metastases that
require local CNS-directed therapy (e.g. radiotherapy or surgery) or increasing doses
of corticosteroids within the prior 2 weeks. Patients with treated brain metastases
should be neurologically stable (for 4 weeks post-treatment and prior to study
enrollment) and off of steroids for at least 2 weeks before administration of any
study treatment.

- History of severe hypersensitivity to study treatment excipients and additives or
other monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and/or their excipients.

- Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease. Patients with vitiligo, residual
hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacement, psoriasis not requiring systemic
treatment or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger
should not be excluded. Patients previously exposed to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment who
are adequately treated for skin rash or with replacement therapy for endocrinopathies
should not be excluded.

- Treatment with cytotoxic or targeted antineoplastics within 3 weeks of initiation of
study treatment. For cytotoxic agents that have major delayed toxicity a washout
period of one cycle is indicated (examples are nitrosoureas and mitomycin C which
typically require a 6 week washout). Prior antibodies or immunotherapies require a 6
week washout.

- Patients receiving systemic chronic steroid therapy or any immunosuppressive therapy
(≥ 10mg/day prednisone or equivalent). Topical, inhaled, nasal and ophthalmic steroids
are allowed.

- Active infection requiring systemic antibiotic therapy.

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
