Exclusion Criteria:
- Active CNS brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases
- Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease
- Inadequately treated adrenal insufficiency
- History of pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or prior clinically significant venous or non-CVA/TIA arterial thromboembolic event (eg, internal jugular vein thrombosis) within 3 months prior to treatment assignment (Part 1) and randomization (Part 2)
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria apply
