Subject has a confirmed diagnosis of advanced unresectable solid tumors in the target subject population within the parameters mentioned:
Pancreatic Cancer
- Subject has a definitive histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Subjects with islet cell neoplasms are excluded.
- nab-Paclitaxel and Nivolumab: Subjects must have received 1 prior systemic chemotherapy regimen for locally advanced or metastatic disease.
- nab-Paclitaxel + Nivolumab and nab-paclitaxel, Gemcitabine and Nivolumab: Subjects must have received no previous systemic chemotherapy or investigational therapy for the treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, including neo-adjuvant or adjuvant therapy, with the exception of prior treatment administered as a radiosensitizer concomitant with radiotherapy in the adjuvant setting. In this case, ≥ 6 months must have elapsed since completion of the last dose and no lingering toxicities may be present. Initial diagnosis of metastatic disease must have occurred ≤ 6 weeks prior to randomization in the study.
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC):
- Subject has definitive histologically or cytologically confirmed Stage IIIB or IV NSCLC.
- Subjects must have received no previous chemotherapy or investigational therapy for the treatment of metastatic disease. Adjuvant, neo-adjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy is permitted providing cytotoxic chemotherapy was completed > 12 months prior to randomization, without disease recurrence or progression during those 12 months.
Metastatic Breast Cancer: Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 - negative (HER2(-)) recurrent Metastatic Breast Cancer:
- Subject has a definitive histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of HER2(-) metastatic breast cancer.
- Subject has received zero to one prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen for metastatic disease, regardless of prior targeted therapy (eg. everolimus, palbociclib or lapatinib), biologic (eg. trastuzumab) or hormonal therapy treatment (eg. aromatase inhibitors, selective estrogen receptor modulators, or estrogen receptor down-regulators).
- If subject has received solvent-based paclitaxel (TAXOL) or docetaxel as adjuvant chemotherapy, subject must not have relapsed with breast cancer within 12 months of completing said therapy.

10. Male subjects agree in writing to use a condom during sexual contact with a pregnant female or a female of childbearing potential while participating in the study, during dose interruptions and for 7 months following IP discontinuation, even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy.
11. Subject or his/her legally authorized representative or guardian understands and voluntarily signs an informed consent document prior to any study related assessments/procedures are conducted (except as noted in Section 6).
12. Subject is able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
