• Serum TBIL as per below:
Patients with documented Gilbert's syndrome - baseline TBIL < 3 × ULN,

All other patients baseline TBIL < 2 × ULN. Exceptions are allowable based on the discretion of the Investigator and with approval from Sponsor Medical Monitor
Exclusion Criteria (for Part 1 and Part 2):
Females who are pregnant or nursing.
Received cancer-directed therapy within the following timeframes:
Antitumour therapy (chemotherapy, antibody therapy, molecular targeted therapy, hormonal therapy or investigational agent) within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment (or 5 times the half-life if shorter than 28 days, there can be exceptions on a case-by-case as approved by Sponsor Medical Monitor based on pharmacology). Note: concurrent use of hormone deprivation therapy for hormone-refractory prostate cancer, bisphosphonate or denosumab for skeletal related events per institution guideline is permitted.
Wide-field radiation therapy within 28 days (or palliative radiation therapy within 7 days) prior to the first dose of study treatment or has not recovered from the side effects of radiation therapy in the opinion of the Investigator.
Any other concurrent investigational device(s) or conventional agent(s) within 28 days (unless 5 times the half-life is shorter than 28 days) prior to the first dose of study treatment.
Therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals must be stopped 8 weeks prior to the first dose of the study drug.
Persisting Grade 2 or higher severity AEs from prior antitumour treatment as per CTCAE v5.0. Patients with pre-existing non-treatable Grade 2 toxicities may be eligible per discretion of the Investigator and with approval from Sponsor Medical Monitor (e.g., Grade 2 chemotherapy induced neuropathy).
Patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancy, symptomatic CNS metastases, meningeal metastases or leptomeningeal disease are not allowed.
Note: Patients with asymptomatic CNS metastases are eligible if clinically controlled, which is defined as 1) ≥ 4 weeks of stable neurologic function following CNS-directed therapy prior to the first dose of study treatment 2) no evidence of CNS disease progression as determined by radiographic imaging ≥ 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment, 3) ≥ 2 weeks from discontinuation of anti-seizure and steroid therapies (receiving prednisone ≤ 10 mg or equivalent steroid therapies is allowed) prior to the first dose of study treatment.

Receiving immunosuppressive or myelosuppressive medications that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, increase the risk of serious neutropenic complications.
Any other disease or clinically significant abnormality in laboratory parameters, including serious medical or psychiatric illness/condition, which in the judgement of the Investigator might compromise the safety of the patient or integrity of the study, interfere with the patient's participation in the trial or compromise the trial objectives.
Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to the study drug or its excipients.
Any known, documented, or suspected history of illicit substance abuse that would preclude patient from participation, unless clinically justified (i.e., will not interfere with study participation and/or will not compromise trial objectives) per judgement of the Investigator and with approval of Study Medical Monitor. Exception: Physician-prescribed medicinal opioids or cannabinoids are allowed for pain management.
Vaccinated with any live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.
Judgement by the Investigator that the patient is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions and requirements.
