Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Cohort A: Objective Response Rate (ORR)
From first dose of study treatment administration (Day 1) up to maximum exposure of study treatment; approximately 8 months

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who had a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions, any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) with reduction in short axis to \<10 millimeter (mm) (\<1 centimeter \[cm\]). PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

Cohorts B1, B2 and B3: Objective Response Rate
From first dose of study treatment administration (Day 1) up to maximum exposure of study treatment; approximately 25 months

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who had a confirmed CR or PR as per RECIST v 1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions, any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) with reduction in short axis to \<10 mm (\<1 cm). PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

Cohort C: Objective Response Rate
From first dose of study treatment administration (Day 1) up to maximum exposure of study treatment; approximately 20 months

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who had a confirmed CR or PR as per RECIST v 1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions, any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) with reduction in short axis to \<10 mm (\<1 cm). PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

Cohorts D1 and D2: Objective Response Rate
From first dose of study treatment administration (Day 1) up to maximum exposure of study treatment; approximately 8 months

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who had a confirmed CR or PR as per RECIST v 1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions, any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) with reduction in short axis to \<10 mm (\<1 cm). PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

Secondary Endpoints

All Cohorts: Time to Response (TTR)
From first dose of study treatment administration (Day 1) up to maximum exposure of study treatment; approximately 8 months (Cohort A, D1 and D2), 25 months (Cohort B1, B2 and B3), 20 months (Cohort C)
All Cohorts: Duration of Response (DOR)
From first dose of study treatment administration (Day 1) up to maximum exposure of study treatment; approximately 8 months (Cohort A, D1 and D2), 25 months (Cohort B1, B2 and B3), 20 months (Cohort C)

Cohort A: ESCC Post PD-1/PD-L1; SAR444245 24 mcg/kg + Pembrolizumab as 2/3L TherapyEXPERIMENTALParticipants with advanced unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), regardless of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression (any combined positive score \[CPS\]), who had received at least 1 but no more than 2 prior lines of treatment and had progressed after primary or secondary resistance to an anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 based regimen were included in this cohort. Participants received SAR444245 24 microgram per kilogram (mcg/kg) along with pembrolizumab 200 milligram (mg) via intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (q3w) on Day 1 of each cycle (each cycle is 21 days) (as second-line or third-line \[2/3L\] therapy), until disease progression (PD), unacceptable adverse event (AE) or other full permanent discontinuation criteria was met or completion of Cycle 35.
Cohort B1: GC/GEJ PD-1/PD-L1 naïve non-MSI-H CPS >=1EXPERIMENTALCohort B1: GC/GEJ PD-1/PD-L1 naïve non-MSI-H CPS \>=1; SAR444245 24mcg/kg+Pembrolizumab as 1-3L Therapy. Participants with advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer (GC) or Siewert Type 2 \& 3 gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJ) and for whom standard of care (SOC) was not in best interest or where no SOC was established, non-high-level microsatellite instability (MSI-H) disease and had not received more than 2 prior lines of treatment that did not include an anti-PD-1/PD-L1-based regimen with the level of PD-L1 expression at baseline as CPS \>=1 GC/GEJ were included in this cohort. Participants received SAR444245 24 mcg/kg along with pembrolizumab 200 mg via IV infusion q3w on Day 1 of each cycle (each cycle is 21 days) (as first to \[1-\]3L therapy), until PD, unacceptable AE or other full permanent discontinuation criteria was met or completion of Cycle 35.
Cohort B2: GC/GEJ PD-1/PD-L1 naïve non-MSI-H CPS <1EXPERIMENTALCohort B2: GC/GEJ PD-1/PD-L1 naïve non-MSI-H CPS \<1; SAR444245 24 mcg/kg+Pembrolizumab as 1-3L Therapy. Participants with advanced unresectable or metastatic GC or Siewert Type 2 \& 3 GEJ and for whom SOC was not in best interest or where no SOC was established, non-MSI-H disease and had not received more than 2 prior lines of treatment that did not include an anti-PD-1/PD-L1-based regimen with the level of PD-L1 expression at baseline as CPS \<1 GC/GEJ were included in this cohort. Participants received SAR444245 24 mcg/kg along with pembrolizumab 200 mg via IV infusion q3w on Day 1 of each cycle (each cycle is 21 days) (as 1-3L therapy), until PD, unacceptable AE or other full permanent discontinuation criteria was met or completion of Cycle 35.

Participants received SAR444245 24 mcg/kg along with pembrolizumab 200 mg via IV infusion q3w on Day 1 of each cycle (each cycle is 21 days) (as 3-sixth \[6\]L therapy), until PD, unacceptable AE or other full permanent discontinuation criteria was met or completion of Cycle 35.
Cohort D2: CRC non-MSI-H RAS Wild Type; SAR444245 24 mcg/kg + Cetuximab as 3-6L TherapyEXPERIMENTALParticipants with advanced unresectable or metastatic CRC, regardless of any CPS, non-MSI-H disease, RAS wild type, who had progressed on prior regimens having contained fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, with either bevacizumab or cetuximab, and with no more than 5 prior lines of treatments were included in this cohort. Participants received SAR444245 24 mcg/kg q3w on Day 1 of each cycle along with cetuximab as an initial loading dose of 400 mg/square meter (m\^2) on Cycle 1 Day 1 followed by 250 mg/m\^2 starting via IV infusion once weekly from Cycle 1 Day 8 (each cycle is 21 days) (as 3-6L therapy) until PD.
