Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Prior allogeneic bone marrow transplant as long as the patient still has active acute or chronic graft versus host disease requiring >10 mg prednisone or equivalent corticosteroids. 2. Concomitant malignancies except carcinoma in situ, basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma. Patients who had no evidence of disease from another primary cancer for 2 or more years are allowed to participate in the trial. Localized non-metastatic prostate cancer, not requiring systemic treatment, and for which no local treatment is planned, is allowed. 3. Uncontrolled or severe intercurrent medical condition. 4. Known uncontrolled central nervous system involvement. 5. Patient has any active-, uncontrolled-, or suspected infection. 6. A significant history of renal, neurologic, psychiatric, pulmonary, endocrinologic, metabolic, immunologic, cardiovascular, or hepatic disease that in the opinion of the investigator would adversely affect his/her participating in this trial. 7. Unstable cardiovascular function defined as: (a) symptomatic ischemia, or (b) uncontrolled clinically significant conduction abnormalities (i.e., ventricular tachycardia on antiarrhythmic agents are excluded; 1st degree atrioventricular block or asymptomatic left anterior fascicular block/right bundle branch block (left anterior fascicular block /right bundle branch block) will not be excluded), or (c) congestive heart failure New York Heart Association Class = 3, or (d) myocardial infarction within 3 months. 8. Previous treatment with radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or chemotherapy in the 2 weeks prior to initial IMP administration. 9. Previous treatment with biological therapy or with an investigational product in the 4 weeks prior to initial IMP administration. 10. Previous treatment with an aminobisphosphonate IV (e.g., ibandronate, pamidronate, zoledronate etc) within 4 weeks prior to initial IMP. 11. Previous treatment of any systemic immunosuppressant within 2 weeks prior to initial IMP administration, with the exception of systemic corticosteroid use up to oral dose of 10 mg prednisolone daily (or equivalent for other steroids). 12. Previous treatment with live or live attenuated vaccines within 2 weeks prior to initial IMP administration. Other (new) types of vaccines need to be evaluated as to their mode of action. 13. Known non-CLL/MM/AML related pre-existing clinically relevant immunodeficiency disorders. 14. Positive serological testing for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] and hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) negative, and hepatitis C virus antibody. Patients who are positive for anti-HBc or hepatitis C antibody may be included if they have a negative PCR within 6 weeks prior to initial IMP administration. Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. 15. Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to the excipients of the IMP. 16. Major surgery within 4 weeks of initial IMP administration or planned surgery during the time the patient is expected to participate in the trial. 17. Known ongoing drug and alcohol abuse in the opinion of the investigator.

| Main Objective: Part 1 Dose Escalation • To investigate the safety and tolerability of LAVA-051 in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL, MM, or AML with positive tumor cell expression for CD1d. • To determine the recommended Phase 2a dose (RP2D) of LAVA-051 in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL, MM or AML with positive tumor cell expression for CD1d. Part 2 Proof of Concept (PoC) • To evaluate the antitumor activity of LAVA-051 at the respective RP2D in separate cohorts with relapsed/refractory CLL, MM or AML with positive tumor cell expression for CD1d. • To investigate the safety and tolerability of LAVA-051 in these respective expansion cohorts.;Secondary Objective: Part 1 Dose Escalation • To explore the antitumor activity of LAVA-051. Part 1 Dose Escalation and Part 2 PoC • To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of LAVA-051. • To evaluate the pharmacodynamics of LAVA-051. • To evaluate the immunogenicity of LAVA-051.;Primary end point(s): Part 1 Dose Escalation • Frequency and severity of Adverse Events using the Common Terminology Criteria and grading for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 5.0) and American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) grading for CRS. • Frequency and type of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Part 2 PoC • Antitumor Response: o For CLL patients: Response according to the most recent International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) guideline (Appendix 6, Section 13.6.1). o For MM patients: Response according to the most recent International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria (Appendix 6, Section 13.6.3). o For AML patients: Response according to the most recent European LeukemiaNet (ELN) criteria (Appendix 6, Section 13.6.4). • Frequency and severity, including CTCAE and ASTCT grading, of AEs.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Part 1 AEs are monitored continuously from ICF signature until the FU visit.
