• International normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy, and then only as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants.
• Adequate pulmonary function as defined by no requirement for oxygen supplementation.

Exclusion Criteria

• Diagnosis of SCLC (with the exception of SCLC transformed from previously-treated NSCLC) or NEPC.
• Tumor specimen is not evaluable for DLL3 expression or tumor has DLL3 surface expression < 1% by immunohistochemistry.
• Progressive or symptomatic brain metastases. Brain metastases that have been radiated, are asymptomatic, and on a stable or decreasing dose of steroids are allowed. Leptomeningeal disease is excluded.
• Evidence of interstitial lung disease or active, non-infectious pneumonitis. Exception: pneumonitis related to prior radiation therapy that is grade 1 and stable or improving without treatment.
• Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless enrolled only in the follow-up period or an observational study. Use of any investigational anticancer therapy must not have been received within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drugs.
• Any chemotherapy, antibody drug conjugate or immunotherapy for cancer treatment in the prior 21 days, or small molecular inhibitor in the prior 7 days. * Stereotactic, palliative radiation for symptomatic bone metastases is acceptable without a washout. * Stereotactic brain radiation for asymptomatic brain metastases is acceptable with a 7-day washout.
• Prior therapy with any selective inhibitor of the DLL3 pathway.
• Prior history of severe or life-threatening events from any immune-mediated therapy.
• Receiving systemic corticosteroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to enrollment. Low-dose corticosteroids (prednisone ≤ 10 mg per day or equivalent is permitted).
• Major surgical procedures within 28 days prior to first dose of study treatment.
• Treatment with live virus, including live-attenuated vaccination, within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. Inactive vaccines (e.g., non-live or non-replicating agent) and live viral non-replicating vaccines within 3 days prior to first dose of study treatment.
• History of other malignancy within the past 2 years, with the following exceptions: * Malignancy treated with curative intent before enrollment, with no known active disease and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by the treating physician, after discussion with the medical monitor. * Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease. * Adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease. * Adequately treated breast ductal carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease. * Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia without evidence of prostate cancer. * Adequately treated urothelial papillary noninvasive carcinoma or carcinoma in situ.
• History of myocardial infarction and/or symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association > class II) within 6 months prior to first dose of study treatment.
• History of arterial thrombosis (e.g., stroke or transient ischemic attack) within 6 months prior to first dose of study treatment.
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. * Participants with HIV infection on antiviral therapy and undetectable viral load are permitted with a requirement for regular monitoring for reactivation for the duration of treatment on study per local or institutional guidelines.
• Active hepatitis C infection. * Defined as participants with detectable hepatitis C antibody (hepatitis C virus [HCV] Ab) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) viral load above the limit of quantification * Participants with presence of HCV antibody (HCV Ab positive) and HCV RNA viral load below the limit of quantification (HCV RNA negative) with or without prior treatment are allowed.
• Active hepatitis B infection. * Defined as presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg-positive) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) viral load above the limit of quantification (HBV DNA positive). * Participants with resolved HBV infection defined as absence of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg-negative) and presence of HBV core antibody (anti-HBc positive) followed by an HBV DNA viral load below the limit of quantification (HBV DNA negative) are allowed, with a requirement for regular monitoring for reactivation for the duration of treatment on the study and assessing the need for HBV prophylaxis therapy per local or institutional guidelines. * Participants with chronic HBV infection inactive carriers state, defined as presence of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg-positive) and HBV DNA viral load below the limit of quantification (HBV DNA negative) are allowed, with a requirement for regular monitoring for reactivation for the duration of treatment on the study and assessing the need for HBV prophylaxis therapy per local or institutional guidelines.
• Participants with symptoms and/or clinical signs and/or radiographic signs that indicate an acute and/or uncontrolled active systemic infection within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. * Upon completion of antibiotics and resolution of symptoms, the participant may be considered eligible for the study from an infection standpoint. * Simple urinary tract infection (UTI) and uncomplicated bacterial pharyngitis are permitted if responding to active treatment. Participants requiring oral antibiotics who have been afebrile > 24 hours, have no leukocytosis, nor clinical signs of infection are eligible. Screening for chronic infectious conditions is not required unless otherwise noted as exclusion criteria.

• Participant has known sensitivity to any of the products or components to be administered during dosing.
• Participant likely to not be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures (e.g., clinical outcome assessments) to the best of the participant’s and investigator’s knowledge.
• History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition, or disease (with the exception of those outlined above) that, in the opinion of the investigator, if consulted, would pose a risk to participant safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures or completion.
