Experimental: Monotherapy - Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion parts
Escalating doses of GEN1042 monotherapy in subjects with non-central nervous system (CNS) solid malignant tumors followed by monotherapy expansion cohorts at selected dose(s) in subjects with relapsed or refractory, advanced and/or metastatic melanoma, or non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or colorectal cancer (CRC).

Experimental: Combination Therapy - Dose Expansion Part
GEN1042 safety and efficacy will be evaluated in combination with pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in treatment-naive subjects with advanced or metastatic melanoma, non-small-cell lung cancer [NSCLC], head and neck squamous cell carcinoma [HNSCC], and pancreatic cancer.
