- ORR [ Time Frame: Up to ~18 months ]The percentage of participants who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), Version 1.1 by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) will be reported.
- ORR [ Time Frame: Up to ~18 months ]The percentage of participants who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), Version 1.1 by investigator will be reported.
- Time to response (TTR) [ Time Frame: Up to ~30 months ]TTR, defined as the time from the start of study treatment to the first documentation of objective tumor response will be reported.
- Duration of response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to ~30 months ]DOR, defined as the interval from the first documentation of objective tumor response to the earlier of the first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause will be reported.
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to ~30 months ]PFS, defined as the interval from the start of study treatment to the earlier of the first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause will be reported.
- Time to treatment failure (TTF) [ Time Frame: Up to ~30 months ]TTF, defined as the time from the start of study treatment to the earliest of the first documentation of disease progression, the permanent cessation of study drug due to an AE, or death from any cause will be reported.
- Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to ~30 months ]OS, defined as the interval from the start of study treatment to death from any cause will be reported.
- Number of participants who experienced an adverse event (AE) [ Time Frame: Up to ~30 months ]An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE. The number of participants who experienced an AE will be reported.
- Number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE [ Time Frame: Up to ~30 months ]An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE. The number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE will be reported.
- Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of zilovertamab vedotin [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and post-dose on Day 1 and Day 8 of Cycle 1, and each subsequent cycle (up to ~30 months); Non-dose day samples on Day 15 of Cycle 1, Cycle 3, and at the end of treatment (up to ~30 months); each cycle = 21 days ]Cmax of zilovertamab vedotin determined by blood samples collected pre-dose and at designated timepoints post-dose will be reported.
- Cmax of total antibody [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and post-dose on Day 1 and Day 8 of Cycle 1, and each subsequent cycle (up to ~30 months); Non-dose day samples on Day 15 of Cycle 1, Cycle 3, and at the end of treatment (up to ~30 months); each cycle = 21 days ]Cmax of total antibody determined by blood samples collected pre-dose and at designated timepoints post-dose will be reported.
