* Cohort 2 (Gestational trophoblastic tumors)

  * Gestational trophoblastic tumors (including placenta site trophoblastic tumors and epithelioid carcinomas) histologically or cytologically-confirmed by a referent pathologist of the French National Center for Gestational Trophoblastic Diseases (In exceptional cases, the patients with typical clinical presentation of gestational trophoblastic tumors with elevated hCG, and experiencing resistance to polychemotherapy, can be included even if the gestational trophoblastic tumor was not histologically or cytologically-confirmed, provided that the French gestational trophoblastic center has validated the case and the inclusion of the patient)
  * Evidence of resistance or relapse after at least one line of polychemotherapy (e.g. EP low dose, BEP regimen, EMA-CO regimen …)
* Cohort 3 (B3 thymomas and thymic carcinomas)

  * B3 thymomas and thymic carcinoma, histologically confirmed by a referent pathologist of the RYTHMIC network
  * Evidence of progression or relapse after at least one line of platinum-based chemotherapy
* Cohort 4 (Anaplastic thyroid carcinomas)

  * Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma with non-mutated or mutated B-RAF, histologically or cytologically-confirmed by a referent pathologist of the Tuthyref network
  * In B-RAF non-mutated anaplastic thyroid carcinomas: Persistent disease at the first evaluation after chemoradiation or disease progression/relapse after the end of chemoradiation
  * In B-RAF mutated anaplastic thyroid carcinoma: evidence of progression after a standard B-RAF inhibitor
* Cohort 5 (GEP-NET and carcinoid tumors)

  * Histologically or cytologically-confirmed well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (WHO classification as NET G1, G2 or G3), or typical/atypical carcinoid tumor (according to WHO classification for thoracic NETs), from gastroenteropancreatic, thoracic (thymus or lung) or unknown primary origin
  * Indication of oxaliplatin-based regimen treatment
  * Evidence of progression or relapse after at least 1 line of systemic treatment, such as somatostatine analog, or targeted agents such as everolimus or sunitinib, or chemotherapy without oxaliplatin, or peptide receptor radionuclide therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

General exclusion criteria for all cohorts:

* Previous treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (including anti-TIGIT, anti-PD1, anti-PD-L1, anti-CTLA4), or other types of immunotherapy.
* Active or prior documented autoimmune or immune-related disorders (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, immune-related myocarditis, immune-related pneumonitis, immune-related colitis, immune-related hepatitis, immune mediated dermatologic adverse reactions, immune-mediated nephritis). (The following are exceptions to this criterion: Patients with vitiligo or alopecia; Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g., following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement; Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy; Patients without active disease and no treatment for the last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with the coordinator of the cohort)
* Medical condition that requires chronic systemic steroid therapy, or any other forms of immunosuppressive medication. (For example, patients with autoimmune disease that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppression agents should not to be included. Replacement therapy (eg., thyroxine, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.)
* Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, congestive heart failure; respiratory distress; liver failure; allergy; psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement according to the investigator, or that substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent.
* Patients with a second primary cancer, except for: adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in-situ cancer of the cervix, or other hematological or solid cancers curatively treated with no evidence of disease for ≥ 3 years.
* All subjects with meningeal involvement.
* Untreated or symptomatic Central nervous system (CNS) metastases. (Patients are eligible if the following criteria are met:

  * CNS lesions are asymptomatic and previously treated.
  * Patient does not require ongoing steroid treatment
  * Imaging demonstrates stability of disease 28 days from last treatment for CNS metastases.)
* Patients receiving any systemic chemotherapy, radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons), within 6 weeks from the last dose prior to study treatment (or at least 5 half-lives depending on the defined characteristics of the agents used). The patient can receive a stable dose of bisphosphonates for bone metastases, before and during the study as long as these were started at least 4 weeks prior to treatment with study drug.
* Treatment with other investigational agents prone to interact with outcomes of the trial upon to investigator opinion.
* Bowel occlusive syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, immune colitis, or other gastro-intestinal disorders that do not allow oral medication such as malabsorption.
* Active HIV, HBV or HCV infection.
* Prior organ transplantation, including allogeneic stem cell transplantation (excluding autologous bone marrow transplant).

* Patients under tutorship or guardianship.

  * Planned cytoreductive surgery or PIPAC within 6 months of study treatment in order to be able to assess the primary endpoint
* Cohort 3 (B3 thymomas and thymic carcinomas)

  * Neuroendocrine tumors
  * Any mixed histology with A/AB/B2 component
  * Any paraneoplastic syndrome
  * Positivity to anti RACh antibodies
