Brief summary: The primary purpose of this study is to see if Sym021 is safe and tolerable as monotherapy, in combination with either Sym022 or Sym023, and in Combination with both Sym022 and Sym023 for patients with locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancies or lymphomas that are refractory to available therapy or for which no standard therapy is available.

Detailed description: Part 1 of this study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the selected dose of sequential escalating doses of Sym021 when administered once every 2 weeks (Q2W) by IV infusion to patient cohorts with locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancies or lymphomas that are refractory to available therapy or for which no standard therapy is available

Part 2 of the study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and DLTs to establish the MTD and/or the selected dose of sequential escalating doses of Sym022 when administered Q2W in combination with a fixed dose of 3 mg/kg of Sym021, each by IV infusion to patient cohorts with locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancies or lymphomas that are refractory to available therapy or for which no standard therapy is available

Part 3 of the study will evaluate of the safety, tolerability, and DLTs to establish the MTD and/or the selected dose of sequential escalating doses of Sym023 when administered Q2W in combination with fixed doses of 3 mg/kg of Sym021 and either 1, 3 or 5 mg/kg of Sym022, each by IV infusion to patient cohorts with locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancies or lymphomas that are refractory to available therapy or for which no standard therapy is available.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female patients, ≥ 18 years of age at the time of obtaining informed consent.
* Documented (histologically- or cytologically-proven) solid tumor malignancy that is locally advanced or metastatic; patients with documented lymphoma.
* Malignancy (solid tumor or lymphoma) that is currently not amenable to surgical intervention due to either medical contraindications or non-resectability of the tumor.
* Refractory to or intolerant of existing therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit.
* Measurable or non-measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1 or RECIL 2017.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1.
* Persons of childbearing potential agreeing to use a highly effective method of contraception during the study beginning within 2 weeks prior to the first dose and continuing until 6 months after the last dose of study drug(s); men agreeing to refrain from sperm donation during this period.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Women who are pregnant or intending to become pregnant before, during, or within 6 months after the last dose of study drug; women who are breastfeeding; persons of childbearing potential and not willing to use a highly effective method of contraception.
* Central nervous system (CNS) malignancies; patients with known, untreated CNS or leptomeningeal metastases, or spinal cord compression, patients with any of the above not controlled by prior surgery or radiotherapy, or patients with symptoms suggesting CNS involvement for which treatment is required.
* Hematologic malignancies other than lymphoma.
* Active thrombosis, or a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1/Day 1 (C1/D1) unless adequately treated and considered stable.
* Active uncontrolled bleeding or a known bleeding diathesis.
* Clinically significant cardiovascular disease or condition.
* Significant ocular disease or condition, including history of an autoimmune or inflammatory disorder.
* Significant pulmonary disease or condition.
* Current or recent (within 6 months) significant gastrointestinal (GI) disease or condition.
* An active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease, or a documented history of autoimmune disease or syndrome, requiring systemic steroids or other immunosuppressive medications.
* History of organ transplantation (e.g., stem cell or solid organ transplant).
* History of significant toxicities associated with previous administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors that necessitated permanent discontinuation of that therapy.
* Patients with unresolved \> Grade 1 toxicity associated with any prior antineoplastic therapy except for persistent Grade 2 alopecia, peripheral neuropathy, decreased hemoglobin, lymphopenia, hypomagnesemia, and/or end-organ failure being adequately managed by hormone replacement therapy.
* Inadequate recovery from any prior surgical procedure, or having undergone any major surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to C1/D1.
* Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known active infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV).
