- Have metastatic breast cancer with severe organ dysfunction as assessed by symptoms and signs, laboratory studies, and rapid progression of the disease.
- Have brain metastasis without prior radiotherapy.
- For Parts A, B, C, D, E, G and I: Have received prior systemic chemotherapy for metastatic disease. However, the participant may have received prior systemic chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting.

- Have serious preexisting medical conditions that, in the judgment of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study (including interstitial lung disease (ILD), severe dyspnea at rest or requiring oxygen therapy or, history of major surgical resection involving the stomach or small bowel).
- Have central nervous system (CNS) metastasis with either radiotherapy or development of neurological changes ≤14 days prior to receiving study treatment. Participants may be receiving a stable dose of corticosteroids. Screening of asymptomatic participants without history of CNS metastasis is not required. Untreated CNS metastases are not permitted.
- For Parts F and H: Cardiac disease including myocardial infarction within 6 months, unstable angina, or New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or greater functional impairment.
- For Part G: Have type 1 diabetes mellitus or a history of gestational diabetes mellitus. Participants with a type 2 diabetes mellitus are eligible if adequate control of blood glucose level is obtained with oral therapy as documented by Hemoglobin A1c <7%.
- For Part G: Have a baseline electrocardiogram (obtained from Day -14 to Day -1) with any of the following abnormal findings: ventricular arrhythmia, evidence of acute myocardial ischemia, heart block (of any degree), or QTc prolongation (defined as QTcB ≥450 milliseconds).
