Inclusion Criteria:

Male/female participants who are at least 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent with histologically confirmed diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma (or unknown primary) will be enrolled in this study.
Male participants: A male participant must agree to use a contraception during the treatment period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period.

Female participants: A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:

Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP); OR
A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study treatment.

Participants must have progressed on treatment with an anti-PD-1/L1 mAb administered either as monotherapy or in combination with other checkpoint inhibitors or other therapies. PD-1 treatment progression is defined by meeting all of the following criteria:

Has received at least 2 doses of an approved anti-PD-1/L1 mAb.
Participants who progressed on/within 3 months of adjuvant therapy with anti-PD-(L)1 inhibitor will be allowed.
Has demonstrated disease progression after anti-PD-1/L1 as defined by RECIST v1.1. The initial evidence of PD is to be confirmed by a second assessment no less than 4 weeks from the date of the first documented PD, in the absence of rapid clinical progression (as defined in 4.c).
Progressive disease has been documented within 12 weeks from the last dose of anti-PD-1/L1 mAb.
Progressive disease as determined above. This determination is made by the treating investigator. Once PD is confirmed, the initial date of PD documentation will be considered the date of PD. Anti-PD/L1 mAb need not be the most recent line of therapy administered.
Prior treatment with an anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) antibody is allowed but not required.
Prior treatment with BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy (if BRAF mutated) is allowed but not required.
The participant provides written informed consent for the trial.

Presence of measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1.

Patients need to have at least one measurable lesion and a separate lesion for biopsy. Patients with only 1 lesion may be enrolled after discussion with Sponsor-Investigator.
Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.

Able to provide newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated to undergo tumor biopsy (core, punch, incisional or excisional).

Creatinine OR Measured or calculated creatinine clearance (GFR can also be used in place of creatinine or CrCl) ≤1.5 × ULN OR ≥30 mL/min for participant with creatinine levels >1.5 × institutional ULN (Creatinine clearance (CrCl) should be calculated per institutional standard)
Total bilirubin ≤1.5 ×ULN OR direct bilirubin ≤ULN for participants with total bilirubin levels >1.5 × ULN
AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 × ULN (≤5 × ULN for participants with liver metastases)
International normalized ratio (INR) OR prothrombin time (PT) and Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.5 × ULN unless participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or aPTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants

Exclusion Criteria:

Receipt of prior agent(s) targeting components of the TIGIT/CD226 pathway including but not limited to CD226, TIGIT, PVR/CD155 and CD112.
Diagnosis of non-cutaneous melanoma histologies including mucosal melanoma, ocular/choroidal melanoma, acral-lentiginous melanoma.
Diagnosis of immunodeficiency, immunosuppression and/or is receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment.
Prior chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and/or small molecule therapy within 2 weeks (or 4 half lives) prior to study Day 1.
Patients who have not recovered (i.e., ≤Grade 1 or at baseline or ≤Grade 2 endocrinopathy) from adverse events (AEs) due to a previously administered agent.

Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study intervention. Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis.

--- A 2-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-CNS disease.

A WOCBP who has a positive urine pregnancy test at Screening. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.

Has received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug.

Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster (chicken pox), yellow fever, rabies, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), and typhoid vaccine.
Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (eg, FluMist®) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed.
Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug.

Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs).

--- Note: Replacement therapy (eg., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed.

Indolent hematologic malignancies for which the management plan is active surveillance including but not limited to CLL/indolent lymphoma. Patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies (CML, ALL, AML, Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) are excluded even if the management plan is active surveillance.

Active (i.e., symptomatic or growing) central nervous system (CNS) metastases.

Note: Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, i.e. without evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging (note that the repeat imaging should be performed during Screening), clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study intervention.
Patients with leptomeningeal disease are excluded
Has severe hypersensitivity (≥Grade 3) to anti-PD(L)1 inhibitor.
