Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis: * For cohort A: soft-tissue sarcoma. As recommended by the French NCI, diagnosis must be reviewed or confirmed by the RRePS Network (Réseau de référence en pathologie des sarcomes et des viscères) as recommended by the French NCI (Institut National du Cancer, Inca). * For cohort B: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) or MMS colorectal cancer (MSS-CCR) or biliary tract cancer (BTC) 2. Age ≥ 18 years, 3. Advanced/unresectable and/or metastatic disease, 4. Mature TLS positive status 5. TP53-wild type status known (by molecular biology) 6. Cohort A: MDM2 status known at the time of inclusion 7. Cohort B: are eligible the following populations * NSCLC known PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) \< 50% AND naïve from treatment with ICI (immune checkpoint inhibitors) * NSCLC exposed to anti-PD1 or PD-L1 based therapy with clinical benefit (clinical benefit is defined as objective response or stable disease for at least 4 months) * TNBC exposed to anti-PD1 or PD-L1 based therapy with clinical benefit (clinical benefit is defined as objective response or stable disease for at least 4 months) * MSS-CCR naïve from treatment with ICI * Biliary tract cancer exposed to anti-PD1 or PD-L1 based therapy with clinical benefit (clinical benefit is defined as objective response or stable disease for at least 4 months) 8. Patients must have measurable disease (lesion in previously irradiated filed can be considered as measurable if progressive at inclusion according to RECIST v1.1) defined as per RECIST v1.1 with at least one lesion that can be measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as \> 10 mm with spiral CT scan., 9. Performance status 0-2 10. Life expectancy ≥ 8 weeks, 11. Adequate hematologic and end-organ function as defined per protocol 12. Disease progression on prior treatment, or previously untreated disease with no available acceptable treatment 13. Recovery to grade ≤ 1 from any adverse event (AE) derived from previous treatment (excluding alopecia and vitiligo of any grade and non-painful peripheral neuropathy grade ≤ 2) according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE, version 5.0), 14. Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgment 15. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. Serum or urine pregnancy test must be repeated within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication, 16. Both women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use two medically acceptable methods of contraception throughout the treatment period 17. No prior or concurrent malignant disease diagnosed or treated in the last 2 years except for: a. superficial/non-invasive bladder cancer, or basal or squamous cell carcinoma in situ treated with curative intent; b. endoscopically resected GI cancers limited to the mucosal layer without recurrence in \> 1 year, 18. Voluntarily signed and dated written informed consent prior to any study specific procedure, 19. Patients with a social security in compliance with the French law. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior treatment with ezabenlimab and/or BI 907828, 2. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding, 3. Participation to a study involving a medical or therapeutic intervention in the last 30 days, 4. Previous enrolment in the present study, 5. Patient unable to follow and comply with the study procedures because of any geographical, social or psychological reasons, 6. Inability to swallow, 7. History of severe allergic anaphylactic reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins, 8. Known hypersensitivity to Chinese hamster ovary cell products or to any component of the ezabenlimab or BI 907828 formulation, 9. Symptomatic or actively progressing central nervous system (CNS) metastases. 10. History of leptomeningeal disease, 11. Primary CNS tumors with any of the following characteristics: * History of intracranial hemorrhage or spinal cord hemorrhage * Neurosurgical resection or brain biopsy to the primary brain tumor within 28 days of Cycle 1 Day 1 12. Any systemic anticancer treatment within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to start of ezabenlimab combined with BI 907828, 13. Whole brain radiotherapy within 14 days prior to start of BI 754091 combined with BI 907828 14. Stereotactic radiosurgery within 7 days prior to start of ezabenlimab combined with BI 907828 15. Active bleeding, significant risk of haemorrhage (e.g. previous severe gastrointestinal bleeding, previous haemorrhagic stroke at any time), or current bleeding disorder (e.g. haemophilia, von Willebrand disease) 16. History of or concurrent serious medical condition or abnormality in clinical laboratory tests that, in the investigator's judgment, precludes the patient's safe participation in and completion of the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study 17. Incomplete recovery from any surgery prior to the start of ezabenlimab combined with BI 907828 that would interfere with the determination of safety or efficacy of ezabenlimab combined with BI 907828 18. Significant cardiovascular disease, such as New York Heart Association cardiac disease (Class II or higher), myocardial infarction, or cerebrovascular accident within 3 months prior to enrollment, unstable arrhythmias, or unstable angina 19.
