This trial is being done to see if an experimental drug (SEA-CD40) works when it's given with other cancer drugs to treat some types of cancer. It will also study side effects from the drug.
There are 2 parts in this trial. In one part, participants have melanoma that has come back after treatment or can't be removed by surgery. Participants in this part will get SEA-CD40 and pembrolizumab. In the other part, participants have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread through their body. These participants will get SEA-CD40, pembrolizumab, carboplatin, and pemetrexed.

- Confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Duration of treatment, approximately 2 years ]The proportion of participants who achieve a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 as assessed by the investigator.
- Incidence of adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to 30-37 days after last dose, approximately 2 years ]Any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigational participant administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
- Incidence of laboratory abnormalities [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to 30-37 days after last dose, approximately 2 years ]To be summarized using descriptive statistics
- Incidence of dose alterations [ Time Frame: Duration of treatment, approximately 2 years ]To be summarized using descriptive statistics
- Disease control rate (DCR) per investigator assessment [ Time Frame: From start of treatment until completion of response assessment, approximately 4 years ]The proportion of participants who achieve a confirmed CR or PR according to RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the investigator or meet the stable disease (SD) criteria at least once after start of study treatment at a minimum interval of 5 weeks.
- Duration of response (DOR) per investigator assessment [ Time Frame: From start of treatment until completion of response assessment, approximately 4 years ]The time from the first documentation of objective response (CR or PR that is subsequently confirmed) to the first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause
- Progression-free survival (PFS) per investigator assessment [ Time Frame: From start of treatment until completion of response assessment, approximately 4 years ]The time from the start of study treatment to the first documentation of PD by RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause
- Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Duration of study, approximately 4 years ]The time from the start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable malignancy defined as one of the following:
-
Cohort 1: Relapsed and/or refractory metastatic melanoma
- Uveal/ocular melanoma is excluded
-
Must have progressed on treatment with an anti-PD-(L)1 mAb. PD-(L)1 treatment progression is defined as meeting all of the following criteria:
- Has received at least 2 doses of an approved anti-PD-(L)1 mAb
- Has demonstrated disease progression after PD-(L)1 as defined by RECIST v1.1.
- Progressive disease has been documented within 12 weeks from the last dose of anti- PD-(L)1 mAb
- Last dose of anti-PD-(L)1 must have been within 90 days prior to enrollment
- Participants with a targetable BRAF mutation must have been treated with, been intolerant of, or declined treatment with BRAF/MEK targeted therapy prior to study entry
-
Cohort 2: Metastatic uveal melanoma
- Must not have received prior treatment for advanced or metastatic disease except for prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant immunotherapy
- No prior liver-directed therapy
-
Cohort 3: Metastatic PD-(L)1-naive melanoma
- Uveal/ocular melanoma is excluded
- Must not have received prior treatment for advanced or metastatic disease except for prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant immunotherapy.
- For participants with a targetable BRAF mutation, prior BRAF/MEK targeted therapy is allowed if completed 4 weeks prior to first dose of study treatment.
-
Cohorts 4 and 5: Non-squamous NSCLC
