Note: For participants to be eligible for enrollment they must have failed at least one
line of standard of care systemic therapy (ie, not treatment naïve), with the exception of
CRC participants who must have failed at least 2 lines of standard of care systemic

contraception during the intervention period and for at least the time needed to
eliminate each study intervention after the last dose of study intervention. and
agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) to others or freeze/store for her own use for
