Key inclusion criteria
1. Voluntarily agree to participate by giving written informed consent. Participation in
pharmacogenomics testing is optional.

2. Be = 18 years of age.

3. Diagnosis and prior systemic treatment:

1. Phase 1: Have a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of a
metastatic or locally advanced solid tumor for which no standard therapy is
available or standard therapy has failed.

2. Phase 2:

I. Have (1) a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of squamous-cell
carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, or adenocarcinoma of the cervix, and (2)
metastatic, locally advanced, and/or unresectable disease at the time of enrollment.
Histologic confirmation of the original primary tumor is required via pathology
report.

Note: The following cervical tumors are not eligible: minimal deviation/adenoma
malignum, gastric type adenocarcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, and mesonephric
carcinoma.

II. Has cervical cancer and has relapsed after a platinum-based treatment (first line)
regimen for advanced (recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic) disease; Note: Subjects
who have received > 1 prior systemic treatment regimen for their advanced or
metastatic disease will be eligible in the following cases: Subject receiving
chemotherapy concurrently with primary radiation (e.g., weekly cisplatin) or subject
receiving adjuvant chemotherapy following completion of radiation therapy (e.g.,
paclitaxel and carboplatin for = 4 cycles) and progressed within 6 months after
treatment completion.

4. Measurable disease - based on investigator assessment

1. Phase 1: Have objective evidence of disease; the presence of measurable disease
is not required.

2. Phase 2: Have measurable disease on imaging based on RECIST version 1.1. Note:
Subjects must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response, as
defined by RECIST version 1.1. Tumors within a previously irradiated field will
be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a
biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion
of radiation therapy.

Note: Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 must be confirmed by independent central
radiologic review prior to first dose. Subjects without centrally confirmed measurable
disease at baseline will not be eligible for this trial.

5. Have a life expectancy of at least 3 months and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group
(ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.

6. Have adequate organ function as indicated by the following laboratory values:

1. Adequate hematological function defined by absolute neutrophil count (ANC) = 1.5
x 109/L, platelet count = 100 x 109/L, and stable hemoglobin = 8 g/dL (without
transfusions within 1 week before first dose).

2. Adequate hepatic function based by a total bilirubin level = the institutional
upper limit of normal (IULN), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level = 2.5 x
IULN, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level = 2.5 x IULN, and alkaline phosphatase
= 2.5 x IULN.

3. Adequate renal function defined as creatinine = 1.5 x IULN OR calculated
creatinine clearance = 50 mL/min for subjects with creatinine levels > 1.5 x IULN
(if no local guideline is available, creatinine clearance should be calculated
using the Cockcroft-Gault Method).

4. Adequate coagulation defined by international normalized ratio (INR) or
prothrombin time = 1.5 x IULN (unless the subject is receiving anticoagulant
therapy); and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) = 1.5 x IULN (unless
the subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy)

7. Other than the cancer for which the subject is enrolled, have no history of prior
malignancy, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial
bladder cancer, squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin, or has undergone potentially
curative therapy with no evidence of that disease recurrence for 5 years since
initiation of that therapy.

8. In Phase 2, subjects must provide a sufficient and adequate formalin fixed paraffin
embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue sample preferably from the most recent biopsy of a tumor
lesion, collected either at the time of or after the diagnosis of advanced or
metastatic disease has been made AND from a site not previously irradiated. If no
tumor tissue is available, a fresh biopsy will be required.

Note: Tissue from needle or excisional biopsy or from resection is required.

9. Female subjects must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening (within 72
hours before first dose of study drug) if of childbearing potential or be of
non-childbearing potential. Non-childbearing potential is defined as (by other than
medical reasons):

1. = 45 years of age and has not menstruated for greater than 1 year,

2. Amenorrheic for < 2 years without a hysterectomy and oophorectomy and a
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) value in the postmenopausal range upon
pretrial (screening) evaluation,

3. Whose status is post hysterectomy, oophorectomy or tubal ligation.

10. If of childbearing potential, female subjects must be willing to use 2 highly
effective methods (defined in the informed consent form [ICF]) throughout the study,
starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of study
treatment.

Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the established and preferred contraception
for the subject.

11. Male subjects with a female partner(s) of child-bearing potential must agree to use 2
highly effective methods (defined in the ICF) throughout the trial starting with the
screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of study treatment is received.
Males with pregnant partners must agree to use a condom; no additional method of
contraception is required for the pregnant partner.

Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the established and preferred contraception
for the subject.

12. Is willing and able to comply with the requirements of the protocol.

Key exclusion criteria
1. Is currently participating and receiving study therapy or has participated in a study
of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigation device
within 4 weeks before the first dose of treatment.

2. Has an inadequate washout period prior to first dose of study drug defined as:

1. Received systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy or biological therapy within 3 weeks
before first dose,

2. Received radiation therapy within 3 weeks before first dose, or

3. Had major surgery within 4 weeks before first dose.

3. Has received prior therapy with:

antibodies

2. For Phase 2: > 1 systemic treatment regimen for the advanced (recurrent,
unresectable, or metastatic) cervical cancer for which the subject is considered
for the study Note: In Phase 1, prior treatment with a CTLA-4 antibody is
permissible for subjects with metastatic melanoma.

4. Has persisting toxicity related to prior therapy of NCI CTCAE Grade > 1 severity.

Note: Sensory neuropathy or alopecia of Grade = 2 is acceptable.

5. Is expected to require any other form of systemic or localized antineoplastic therapy
while on trial (including maintenance therapy with another agent, radiation therapy,

[NCI CTCAE] Grade = 3), any history of anaphylaxis, or uncontrolled asthma.

7. Is receiving systemic corticosteroid = 7 days prior to the first dose of trial
treatment or receiving any other form of systemic immunosuppressive medication
(corticosteroid use on study for management of immune-related adverse events, and/or a
