Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Metastatic disease or locally advanced, unresectable disease.

• Has histopathologically confirmed gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma with documented disease progression after 0-2 prior lines of systemic therapy

• Has histopathologically confirmed nonsquamous or squamous NSCLC with documented disease progression after 0-3 prior lines of systemic therapy

• Has histopathologically confirmed transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium (bladder, urethra, or renal pelvis) with documented disease progression after 1-3 prior lines of systemic therapy

• Has histologically confirmed biliary tract adenocarcinoma with documented progression after 1-2 prior lines of systemic therapy

• Availability of tumor tissue for biomarker analysis from a newly obtained core or excisional biopsy or willing to undergo a tumor biopsy. For first line NSCLC participants only, PD-L1 expression should be 1% or higher.

• Has received ≥3 lines of prior systemic therapy for gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma and BTC or ≥4 lines for NSCLC or urothelial cancer.

• Has active autoimmune disease.

• Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

• Known active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection.

• Has received any previous systemic therapy targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or VEGF receptor, or programmed death (PD) 1 or PD-ligand 1/2 signaling pathways.

• Have received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to enrollment. Seasonal flu vaccines that do not contain live virus are permitted.

• Have had a serious or non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture within 28 days prior to enrollment.

• Have an elective or a planned major surgery during the course of the trial or has undergone major surgery within 28 days prior to enrollment.
