Brief summary: This Phase 2, open-label study is designed to examine the efficacy and safety of single-agent AGEN2034 and combination AGEN2034 + AGEN1884 in patients with recurrent, inoperable or metastatic Angiosarcoma (AS).

Detailed description: This Phase 2, open-label study is designed to examine the efficacy and safety of single-agent AGEN2034 and combination AGEN2034 + AGEN1884 in patients with recurrent, inoperable or metastatic AS.

Three cohorts will be enrolled into 2 Parts of the study as follows:

Part 1

* Cohort 1: Qualifying patients that are checkpoint inhibitor naïve will be enrolled into single-agent AGEN2034
* Cohort 2: Qualifying patients that are inhibitor (PD-1/L1) resistant will be enrolled into combination AGEN2034 + AGEN1884

Part 2

• Cohort 3: Qualifying patients that are checkpoint inhibitor naïve will be enrolled into combination AGEN2034 + AGEN1884. Part 2 will begin enrollment after enrollment in Part 1 is completed

The study will be conducted in 2 parts:

In Part 1, checkpoint inhibitor naïve patients will be treated with single-agent AGEN2034 (Cohort 1) and patients resistant to PD-1/PD-L1 (defined as prior progression on PD 1/PD-L1 treatment) will be treated with combination of AGEN2034+AGEN1884 (Cohort 2). Patients from Cohort 1 who experience PD may be considered (as PD-1 resistant) for transition to Cohort 2.

In Part 2, the study will enroll checkpoint inhibitor naïve patients for treatment with combination AGEN2034+AGEN1884 (Cohort 3). Part 2 will begin enrollment after enrollment in Part 1 is completed.

All patients will receive study treatment for up to 2 years until confirmed disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or until the patient wishes to withdraw consent for any reason. Patients will be followed for safety at 30 and 90 days, and for survival every 2 months for at least 12 months from their last dose of study treatment. Each treatment cycle will be 6 weeks.

An IRC will be established to adjudicate tumor response based on imaging studies, photography, and clinical response. The primary endpoints will be based on the IRC assessment of response per RECIST v1.1.

7. Have adequate organ function as indicated by the following laboratory values:

   1. Adequate hematological function defined by absolute neutrophil count \> 1.5 × 10\^9/L, platelet count \> 75 × 10\^9/L, and hemoglobin \> 8 g/dL (without transfusions, within

      1 week of first dose)
   2. Adequate hepatic function based by a total bilirubin level ≤ × 1.5 the upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate aminotransferase level ≤ 2.5 × ULN, alanine aminotransferase level ≤ 2.5 × ULN, alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × ULN, and albumin

      ≥ 3.0 mg/dL
   3. Adequate renal function defined as creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN OR measured or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/minute per Institutional standard. Assessment methods should be recorded
   4. Adequate coagulation defined by international normalized ratio or prothrombin time ≤ 1.5 × ULN (unless the patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy); and activated partial thromboplastin time ≤ 1.5 × ULN (unless the patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy)
8. Willing to undergo mandatory fresh tumor biopsy, from a site not previously irradiated (unless progressed after radiation treatment) Note: Tissue from core, or punch excisional biopsy, or from resection is required
9. Women of child-bearing potential (WCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening (within 72 hours prior to first dose of study medication)

   Note: Non-childbearing potential is defined as 1 of the following:

Exclusion Criteria

To be eligible for this study, patients must not have any of the following exclusion criteria:

Patients who are receiving daily corticosteroid replacement therapy are an exception to this rule.

For individuals who received steroids as part of brain metastases treatment, high-dose steroids must be discontinued ≥ 7 days prior to first dose of study drug but may be continued if ≤ 5 mg/day (prednisone)
6. Has active or history of autoimmune disease requiring immunosuppressive systemic treatment (e.g. modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs) within previous 2 years Note: Thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency is not considered a form of immunosuppressive systemic treatment.

   Note: Patients with Type 1 diabetes, vitiligo, psoriasis, hypo-, or hyperthyroid disease not requiring immunosuppressive treatment are eligible
