Patients who received prior treatment with curative intent for early stage disease and develop recurrent advanced/ metastatic disease must have completed treatment at least 6 months prior to first dose of IP.

• Participants must have adequate organ function including the following laboratory values at the screening visit as per Table 2:

• If a participant has brain or meningeal metastases, the participant must meet the following criteria:

∙ Metastatic brain lesions do not require immediate intervention. Note: Asymptomatic, treated and stable as well as not requiring steroids for at least 2 weeks prior to start study Treatment.

‣ Carcinomatous meningitis is excluded regardless of clinical stability.

• A male participant must agree to use a contraception starting with the first dose of study treatment through the treatment period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period.

• A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:

∙ Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP), OR,

‣ A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 180 days after the last dose of study treatment.

⁃ Can provide evaluable archival tumor tissue sample or willing to provide tissue from newly obtained core or excisional biopsy or fine needle aspirate (FNA) cell block form of tumor lesion not previously irradiated. Note: Formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks or slides allowed.
