Postmenopausal individuals, as defined below, are allowed to enroll without a pregnancy test: --Age >50 years with amenorrhea for at least 12 months or --Age <=50 years with 6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level within postmenopausal range (>40 mIU/mL) OR - Permanently sterilized (e.g., tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, uterine ablation) - Individuals of reproductive potential must agree to use highly effective contraception when sexually active. This applies for the period between signing of the informed consent and 90 days after the last administration of study drug. Highly effective contraception includes: - Established use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception - Placement of certain intrauterine devices (IUD) or intrauterine systems (IUS) - Hysterectomy, oophorectomy, salpingectomy or vasectomy of the partner (provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the individual of childbearing potential trial participant and that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success) In addition, participants must agree to use condoms. - Participants that are positive for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C antibody (HCVAb) must have a negative hepatitis B and/or C viral load by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and agree to additional monitoring. - Ability of participant to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. - Nursing participants must be willing to discontinue nursing from study treatment initiation through 90 days after the last administration of study drug. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: -The following restrictions apply to current or prior anti-cancer treatment, prior to the first dose of study drug: - Participants who are actively receiving any other anti-cancer investigational agents. - Any chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or anti-cancer antibodies within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug - Radio- or toxin-immunoconjugates within 10 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug - Prior allogeneic stem cell (or other organ) transplant within 6 months or any evidence of active graft-versus-host disease or requirement for immunosuppressants within 28 days prior to first dose of study drug - Not recovered (i.e., <= Grade 1 or baseline) from adverse events due to previously administered anti-cancer treatment, surgery, or procedure.
