• Performance Status: Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2.
• Cardiac Function: Have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or greater, or greater than the institution's lower limit of normal (LLN), as assessed by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan performed at screening.
• Organ Function: Demonstrate adequate organ function in screening labs.
• Tumor Specimens: Have archived biopsy or surgical tumor specimens available as tumor blocks or unstained slides.

Exclusion criteria

• Performance Status: Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status greater than 2.
• Body Mass Index: Have a BMI of less than 27 kg/m².
