Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- All participants and parts: Are ≥18 years of age. Have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), except for ovarian cancer where participants will be evaluated according to Gynecologic Cancer InterGroup criteria. Have a life expectancy of ≥3 months in the opinion of the investigator. Have adequate organ, coagulation, and hematologic function as defined in the protocol."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Parts A, B, and C: Have a histologically confirmed advanced/metastatic tumor type that is known to express CA19-9: PDAC, carcinoma of the bile ducts, invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and urinary tract, colorectal adenocarcinoma, adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction, endometrial carcinoma, and epithelial ovarian cancer"}

Participants must have received all available standard therapies, including targeted therapies based on mutation status, and failed at least first-line standard of care therapy prior to enrollment."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Part D all participants: Have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of PDAC. Must have been offered all available standard therapies including targeted therapies based on mutation status. Established second line therapies available must not withheld.

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- All participants and parts: Are enrolled in another investigational trial or are subject to exclusion periods from another investigational trial. Have had an inadequate washout period for prior anticancer treatment prior to the first dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) as defined in the protocol."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- All participants and parts: Have received systemic steroids (>10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent) or other immunosuppressive therapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of IMP. The following are exceptions to this criterion: • Inhaled sprays, topical steroids, or local steroid injections • Systemic steroids at physiological doses as replacement therapy • Steroids as pre-medication for hypersensitivity reactions"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- All participants and parts: Have received any live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of IMP or intend to receive a live vaccine during the trial."}
