non-lymph node or >=1.5 cm in the short-axis diameter for a lymph node that is
measurable according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1
using computerized tomography/magnetic resonance imaging.
2. Lesions that have had external beam radiotherapy or locoregional therapies such
as radiofrequency ablation must show evidence of progressive disease based on
RECIST 1.1 to be deemed a target lesion.

at the central laboratory (Screening 1 is not required). Participants for Cohort 1 and
3 who do not have archival resected tumor samples (that is, surgical or
excisional/incisional biopsy sample) are required to be FRA positive at the central
laboratory (Screening 1 is required). Participants for Cohort 2 and 4 are required to
be FRA positive confirmed by IHC assay at the central laboratory using their available
tumor samples from resected specimen (that is, surgical or excisional/incisional
biopsy samples) or core needle biopsy (<=18-gauge for ovarian carcinoma and for NSCLC
[adenocarcinoma and non-adenocarcinoma] as possible) (Screening 1 is required).

carcinoma):
