Experimental: LY3039478 - Dose Escalation
Part A: LY3039478 administered orally three times per week (TIW) at escalating doses (2.5 milligrams [mg] to 100 mg) for two 28 day cycles. Participants receiving benefit may continue until disease progression

Experimental: LY3039478 - Cohort Expansion
Part B, C, D and E: LY3039478 administered orally three times per week (TIW) at a fixed dose determined in Part A for two 28 day cycles. Participants receiving benefit may continue until disease progression.

Drug: LY3039478
Administered orally |
Experimental: Dose 1 LY3039478 + Prednisone
Part F1: LY3039478 administered orally TIW for 28 day cycles. Prednisone will be co-administered with LY3039478 for the first 2 weeks in cycle 1 only (28 day cycles). Participants receiving benefit may continue until disease progression.
