• Hemoglobin >= 8.0 g/dL
• Platelets >= 50 x 10^9/L
• Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) * Except in patients with congenital bilirubinemia, such as Gilbert syndrome, direct bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 x ULN
• Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >= 30 mL/min/1.73 m^2
• Female participants: Contraceptive use for those participating in clinical studies (men or women) should be consistent with local regulations: * A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: ** Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) OR ** Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of < 1% per year), preferably with low user dependency, during the intervention period and for at least 12 months after the last dose of study intervention and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period. The investigator should evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study intervention *** A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test (as required by local regulations) within 72 hours before the first dose of study intervention *** We will review the medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with a new undetected pregnancy * Non childbearing potential is defined as follows (by other than medical reasons): ** >= 45 years of age and has not had menses for > 1 year ** Patients who have been amenorrhoeic for < 2 years without history of a hysterectomy and oophorectomy must have a follicle stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range ** Post-hysterectomy, post-bilateral oophorectomy, or post-tubal ligation
• Male participants: contraceptive use should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies * Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment to allow for clearance of any altered sperm: ** Refrain from donating sperm PLUS either: *** Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent OR *** Must agree to use contraception/barrier and use a male condom, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy, and female partner to use an additional highly effective contraceptive method with a failure rate of < 1% per year when having sexual intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential
• All prior treatment-related toxicities (defined by National Cancer Institute- Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events [NCI-CTCAE], version 5.0) must be =< grade 1 at the time of enrollment except for alopecia and grade 2 peripheral neuropathy
• Participants are able to comply with visit schedule and agree to weekly visits for 9 weeks

Exclusion Criteria

• Evidence of active bleeding
• Any major surgery within the last 28 days
• Presence of active renal condition (infection, requirement for dialysis or any other condition that could affect participant’s safety). Participants with isolated proteinuria resulting from MM are eligible, provided participants fulfill entry criteria
• Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric disorder or other conditions (including lab abnormalities) that could interfere participants’ safety, obtaining informed consent or compliance with study procedures
• Current unstable liver disease per investigator assessment defined by the presence of ascites, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, hypoalbuminemia, esophageal or gastric varices, persistent jaundice, or cirrhosis * NOTE: Stable non-cirrhotic chronic liver disease (including Gilbert’s syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones) is acceptable if participant otherwise meets entry criteria

Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, prostate cancer or in situ cervical or breast cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy

• Moderate or severe persistent asthma within the past 2 years, or uncontrolled asthma of any classification. Note that participants who currently have controlled intermittent asthma or controlled mild persistent asthma are allowed to participate
• History of cardiovascular disease including any of the following: * History of clinically significant untreated arrhythmias, including clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities including second degree (Mobitz type II) or third degree atrioventricular (AV) block * History of myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndromes (including unstable angina), coronary angioplasty, or stenting or bypass grafting within 3 months of screening * Class III or IV heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association functional classification system * Uncontrolled hypertension
