• Treatment with approved or investigational cancer therapy within 14 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1.
• Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that, in the investigator's opinion, gives reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or that may affect the interpretation of the results or renders the participant at high risk from treatment complications.
• History of or known presence of spinal cord metastases, as determined by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation during screening or prior radiographic assessments.
• Known central nervous system (CNS) disease, except for treated asymptomatic CNS metastases.

• Unresolved, clinically significant toxicity from prior therapy, except for alopecia and Grade 1 peripheral neuropathy.
• Participants who have received palliative radiotherapy to peripheral sites (e.g., bone metastases) for pain control and whose last treatment was completed 14 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1 may be enrolled in the study if they have recovered from all acute, reversible effects (e.g., to Grade 1 or resolved by enrolment).
• Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion or ascites.
• Uncontrolled tumor-related pain.
• Malignancies other than breast cancer within 5 years prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1, except for appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, or Stage I uterine cancer.
