zolbetuximab +nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabineExperimentalParticipants will be treated with zolbetuximab in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine for the phase 1 portion of the study to establish the recommended dose of zolbetuximab for the phase 2 portion. In the phase 2 portion, the participants will be treated with zolbetuximab at dose determined by the phase 1 portion of the study in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine. Participants will be treated on continuous cycles until they no longer derive clinical benefit in the judgment of the treating physician, have unacceptable toxicity, undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), or meet one of the discontinuation criteria; whichever occurs first.
