> Previously treated with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor.

- HCC subjects (Phase 2a Cohort 6 ONLY)
- Histological/cytological confirmed diagnosis of HCC or clinically confirmed diagnosis of HCC as per American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria (fibrolamellar HCC, sarcomatoid HCC, or mixed cholangiocarcinoma and HCC are not eligible), and:
- Has received 1 or 2 prior systemic therapy regimens for recurrent or metastatic disease;
- Has experienced disease progression during or after treatment with an anti-PD-1/L1 agent administered either as monotherapy or in combination.
Note: Subjects basically should receive prior standard therapy.
- However, if the investigator judges the therapy is not appropriate for the subject, the prior standard therapy is not necessarily mandated for the eligibility.
- Has a Child-Pugh class A liver score within 7 days of first dose of study drug.
- Cervical cancer subjects (Phase 2a Cohort 7 ONLY)
- Has recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer with squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous histology, and:

- paclitaxel + cisplatin + bevacizumab + anti-PD-(L)1 agent, or e. paclitaxel + carboplatin + bevacizumab + anti-PD-(L)1 agent, or f. paclitaxel + topotecan + bevacizumab + anti-PD-(L)1 agent Note: In cases where bevacizumab and/or anti-PD-(L)1 agent is not a standard of care therapy or the subject was ineligible for such treatment according to local standards, prior treatment with bevacizumab and/or anti-PD-(L)1 agent is not required.
- Has received 1 or 2 prior systemic therapy regimens for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. Chemotherapy administered in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting, or in combination with radiation therapy, should not be counted as a systemic therapy regimen.
