Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) - Part 1
From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 65 months)

An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study treatment and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Adverse events are graded on a scale from 1 to 5, with Grade 1 being mild and asymptomatic; Grade 2 is moderate requiring minimal, local or noninvasive intervention; Grade 3 is severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 events are usually severe enough to require hospitalization; Grade 5 events are fatal. This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 1.

Number of Participants Experiencing Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) - Part 1
From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 65 months)

A serious adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is an important medical event. This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 1.

Number of Participants Experiencing Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) - Part 1
From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 65 months)

Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) are effects of a treatment that are serious enough to prevent an increase in dose of that treatment, as advised by the Dose Review Team. DLTs will be defined based on the incidence, intensity, and duration of AEs that are possibly related to study treatment. DLTs will include gastrointestinal, hepatic, hematologic, dermatologic, and other AEs. This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 1.

Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation - Part 1
From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 65 months)

Number of participants with any grade adverse events (AEs) leading to discontinuation of study treatment. An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 1.

Number of Participants Who Died - Part 1
From first dose up to 100 days after last dose (up to 65 months)

The number of participants who died due to any cause are summarized. This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 1.

Most Frequently Reported Grade 3 and Grade 4 Laboratory Test Results - Part 1
From first dose up to 30 days after last dose (up to 63 months)

Laboratory results were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Laboratory tests are graded on a scale from 1 to 5, with Grade 1 being mild and asymptomatic; Grade 2 is moderate requiring minimal, local or noninvasive intervention; Grade 3 is severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 events are usually severe enough to require hospitalization; Grade 5 events are fatal. This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 1.

Objective Response Rate (ORR) - Part 2
From the date of the first dose to the date of first objectively documented progression per RECIST v1.1 or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 22 months)

Objective Response Rate per blinded independent central review (BICR) is the percentage of participants who have a confirmed complete or partial best overall response (BOR) among participants who have measurable disease at baseline. Complete Response (CR) is defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to =\< 10 mm. Partial Response (PR) is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Baseline was defined as evaluations or events that occur before the date and time of the first dose of study treatment or evaluations on the same date and time of the first dose of study treatment were also considered as baseline evaluations. This endpoint was prespecified in the protocol to include only participants in Part 2.

Secondary Endpoints
Objective Response Rate (ORR) - Part 1
From the date of the first dose to the date of first objectively documented progression per RECIST v1.1 or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 74 months)
Duration of Response (DOR) - Part 1
From the date of the first dose to the date of first objectively documented progression per RECIST v1.1 or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 74 months)
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) - Part 1
Cycle 1 Day 1
