Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is a solid tumor, a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the lung. Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is a solid tumor, a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the head and neck. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and pharmacokinetics of ABBV-514 as a monotherapy and in combination with Pembrolizumab or Budigalimab.
Budigalimab and ABBV-514 are investigational drugs being developed for the treatment of NSCLC, HNSCC, and other solid tumors. Pembrolizumab is a drug approved for the treatment of NSCLC, HNSCC, and other solid tumors. Study doctors put the participants in groups called treatment arms. The Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ABBV-514 will be explored. Each treatment arm receives a different doses of ABBV-514 in monotherapy and in combination with Pembrolizumab or Budigalimab. Approximately 136 adult participants will be enrolled in the study across approximately 80 sites worldwide.
Participants will receive ABBV-514 as a monotherapy or in combination with Pembrolizumab or Budigalimab as an Intravenous (IV) Infusion for an estimated treatment period of up to 2 years.
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
