Brief Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to determine the strength of cobolimab and dostarlimab that is most tolerated in children and young adults who have advanced solid tumors. This study also aims: (a) to check if it is safe to use cobolimab and dostarlimab combination in children and young adults, (b) to see how to manage the side effects that may occur, and (c) the effect of this treatment in participants

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply:
- Participants between the age of 0 to not more than 21 years at the time of signing informed consent form (ICF).
- Disease characteristics:
- Part 1: Participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have had disease progression after treatment with available therapies that are known to confer clinical benefit and who have limited available treatment options as determined by the investigator. Additionally, exposure to prior immunotherapy or experimental therapies is acceptable:
- Melanoma
- Hodgkin Lymphoma
- High and Low Grade Glioma: including Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), and ependymoma.
- Osteosarcoma
- Hepatic tumors \[including Hepatoblastoma, Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and Fibrolamellar carcinoma\]
- Rhabdomyosarcoma
- Part 2:
- Participants with Melanoma who have not received prior systemic therapy:
- Participants with BRAF gene, found on chromosome 7 (BRAF) mutations who are eligible for a BRAF-targeted therapy are eligible if they qualify for immunotherapy.
- Participants with locally treated and controlled metastatic central nervous system (CNS) lesions without leptomeningeal spread are eligible
- Relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) that has failed at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy)
- +3 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
- Medical conditions:
- Participant has uncontrolled CNS involvement by any tumor pathology
- Participant has a heart rate-corrected QT interval according to QT interval (corrected) (Friderecia's formula) (QTcF) prolongation at screening \>470 millisecond (msec) or \>480 msec for participants with bundle branch block.
- Participant has clinically significant cardiovascular disease
- Participant has chronic respiratory disease
- Participant has known sensitivity to study intervention components or excipients or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor, contraindicates participation in the study.
- Participants who have a history of immunodeficiency disease, including other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or organ transplantation
- Participants who have received plasma exchange within 7 days before the first dose of study intervention.
- Participant has current active pneumonitis or any history of pneumonitis requiring steroids or immunomodulatory treatment within 90 days of planned enrollment or any history of drug-induced pneumonitis.
- Participant has ongoing adverse reaction(s) from prior therapy that has (have) not recovered to ≤Grade 1 or to the Baseline status preceding prior therapy, excluding \[e.g., alopecia, hearing loss, vitiligo, endocrinopathy managed with replacement therapy, and Grade 2 neuropathy\], or that the investigator, with the agreement of the sponsor, considers to be not clinically relevant for the tolerability of study intervention in the current clinical study.
- Participant has any active renal condition (e.g., infection, requirement for dialysis, or any other significant renal condition (that could affect the participant's safety).
- Participant has any serious and/or unstable medical or psychiatric disorder or other condition(s) (including laboratory assessment abnormalities) that could interfere with the participant's safety, obtainment of informed consent, or compliance to the study procedures.
- Prior/ Concomitant therapy:
- Has received treatment with an investigational agent or any other anti-cancer therapy within 30 days, or \<5 times the half-life of the most recent therapy prior to signing ICF, whichever is shorter.
