Brief summary: This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of DS-1103a combination therapy in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Detailed description: DS-1103a, a recombinant humanized IgG4 anti-SIRPα antibody designed to block the SIRPα-CD47 interaction, is being developed for the treatment of advanced cancers in combination with other anticancer therapies. This is the first-in-human, dose-escalating clinical study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of DS-1103a combination therapy in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Adults ≥18 years of age at the time the ICF is signed (please follow local regulatory requirements if the legal age of consent for study participation is \>18 years old)
* Pathologically documented HER2-expressing (immunohistochemistry \[IHC\] 1+ or greater) or HER2-mutated (activating mutation) solid tumor that is unresectable or metastatic (further detailed in inclusion criteria specific for Part 1 and Part 2 below)
* Is willing and able to provide adequate baseline tumor samples. If an adequate archival tumor tissue is not available, a fresh tumor tissue biopsy is required
* Presence of at least 1 measurable lesion based on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) by investigator assessment
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1
* Has a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% by either an echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan within 28 days before enrollment
* Has adequate organ and bone marrow function within 28 days before the start of study treatment. Transfusion (red blood cell or platelet) or granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration is not allowed within 14 days prior to the start of study treatment.
* If the participant is a female of childbearing potential, she must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and must be willing to use highly effective birth control upon enrollment, during the Treatment Period, and for at least 10 months following the last dose of study drug(s).
* If male, the participant must be surgically sterile or their female partner of childbearing potential must be willing to use highly effective birth control upon enrollment, during the Treatment Period, and for 6 months following the last dose of study drug(s). In addition to the above, it is recommended that the male participant uses a condom throughout this period to prevent their partner from possibly being exposed to the study drug(s) via sperm.
* Male participants must not freeze or donate sperm from the time of enrollment, during the Treatment Period, and for at least 6 months after the final study drug(s) administration
* Female participants must not donate, or retrieve for their own use, ova from the time of enrollment, during the Treatment Period, and for at least 10 months after the final study drug(s) administration
* Is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, drug administration plan, laboratory tests, other study procedures, and study restrictions

Dose-escalation Phase:

* Has progressed or was non-responsive to available therapies and for which no standard or available anticancer therapy exists
* Has a pathologically documented HER2-expressing (eg, breast cancer) or HER2-mutated (eg, non-small cell lung cancer \[NSCLC\]) solid tumor (participants with gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma are not eligible)

Dose-expansion Phase:

  * Is hormone receptor (HR)-positive or HR-negative (HR-positive for estrogen receptor or progesterone receptor if finding of ≥1% of tumor cell nuclei are immunoreactive), as defined by ASCO/CAP HR testing guidelines
  * Has been treated with at least 1 and at most 2 prior lines of chemotherapy in the recurrent or metastatic setting. If recurrence occurred within 6 months of (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy, (neo)adjuvant therapy would count as 1 line of chemotherapy
  * Was never previously HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH+) on prior pathology testing (per ASCO/CAP guidelines) or was historically HER2 IHC 0 only
