In the dose escalation part, the dose levels were escalated following a modified 3+3 dose escalation scheme. In the scheduled exploration part, participants were assigned to doses and dose schedules. In the fixed dose exploration part, participants were assigned to dose group(s) not to exceed the maximum tolerated dose. In the dose expansion part, participants were assigned to different groups based on their tumor type.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Phase 1A: Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE could have been any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of an investigational product. All AEs were monitored per the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE version \[v\] 4.03 2010).

Time frame: Day -28 through 5 years and 2 months

Phase 1A: Number Of Participants With Abnormal Physical Examination Values

A complete physical examination, vital signs (systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), pulse rate, temperature, and respiratory rate), and weight were performed pre-specified time points for Phase 1A. During the treatment period, symptom-directed physical examinations were performed. If there were no complaints and no abnormal findings from the previous visit for a particular organ system, a physical examination of that organ system was not required.

Time frame: Day 1 and Day 15 of each cycle through 30 (+/- 7) days after last dose (up to 5 years and 2 months)

Phase 1A: Number Of Participants Experiencing Dose-dependent Toxicity Through Ophthalmology Findings

Ophthalmological examinations (such as eyesight/visual acuity, fundoscopy, slit lamp microscopy, and optical coherence tomography \[or equivalent diagnostic test\]) were performed at pre-specified time points for Phase 1A. Eye exam, visual acuity test, and optical coherence tomography (or equivalent diagnostic test) will be assessed by an appropriate specialist at Screening. Participants dosed underwent subsequent ophthalmologic examinations, a specified in the protocol, by an appropriate specialist during study treatment.

Time frame: Day 15 of cycle 1, Day 1 of Cycle 2 and all additional cycles, and 30 (+/- 7) days after last dose (up to 5 years and 2 months)

Phase 1B: Number Of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory Values

Clinical chemistry, hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis will be performed at pre-specified time points for Phase 1A and Phase 1B respectively. If warranted, additional testing was done, or the relevant tests done more frequently in accordance with institutional guidelines. All participants who had any Grade 3 or Grade 4 laboratory abnormalities at withdrawal from the study were followed up until they had returned to Grade 1 or Grade 2, unless these were not likely to improve due to the underlying disease. Participants experiencing decreases (low) and increases (high) to ≥ Grade 3 are reported.

Time frame: Day -28 (predose), Days 1, 8, and 15 of cycle 1; Day 1 of cycle 2 and additional cycles; 30 (+/- 7) days after last dose up to 5 years and 2 months

Phase 1B: Number Of Participants Experiencing Severe AEs

All AEs were monitored per the NCI-CTCAE (v 4.03 2010). In addition to performing the CTCAE assessment, the intensity of each AE and SAE recorded was assigned to one of the following categories based on the Investigator's clinical judgment: Mild: an event that is easily tolerated by the participant, causing minimal discomfort and not interfering with everyday activities; moderate: An event that is sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal everyday activities; severe: An event that prevents normal everyday activities. Severity was a category utilized for rating the intensity of an event and, accordingly, both AEs and SAEs could be assessed as severe.
