Inclusion Criteria:

• Subject is legally an adult according to local regulation at the time of signing informed consent.

• Subject has radiologically documented metastatic or locally advanced disease at baseline.
• An archival tumor tissue sample should be available for submission to central laboratory prior to study treatment. If an archival tumor tissue sample is not available, a fresh tissue sample should be provided. If a fresh tissue sample cannot be provided due to safety concerns, enrollment into the study must be discussed with the medical monitor.

Inclusion Criteria for COE:

• Subject is eligible for the COE if they continue to meet all inclusion criteria from the main protocol in addition to the following when the patient is evaluated for eligibility to participate in the COE portion of the study:
• Institutional review board (IRB)/ independent ethics committee (IEC) approved written COE informed consent and privacy language as per national regulations (e.g., health insurance portability and accountability act [HIPAA] Authorization for US sites) must be obtained from the subject prior to any study-related procedures (including withdrawal of prohibited medication, if applicable).
• Subject was randomized to Arm B and is either currently on study treatment or has discontinued study treatment due to intolerance, AE or progression of disease and has not started a new systemic anticancer treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subject has known active keratitis or corneal ulcerations.
• Subject has other underlying medical condition that would impair the ability of the subject to receive or tolerate the planned treatment and follow-up.
