- Number of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Multiple time points in each cycle (each cycle is 28 days), throughout study completion, an average of 2 years, or participant becomes lost to follow up, or study termination ]An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either reasonable possibility or no reasonable possibility. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug. For more details on adverse events please see the Adverse Event section.
- Maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax) of ABBV-368 [ Time Frame: Multiple time points in each cycle (each cycle is 28 days), throughout study completion, an average of 2 years, or participant becomes lost to follow up, or study termination ]Maximum observed serum concentration of ABBV-368
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Multiple time points in each cycle (each cycle is 28 days), throughout study completion, an average of 2 years, or participant becomes lost to follow up, or study termination ]ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects with a confirmed partial or complete response to the treatment.
- Clinical benefit rate (CBR) [ Time Frame: Multiple time points in each cycle (each cycle is 28 days), throughout study completion, an average of 2 years, or participant becomes lost to follow up, or study termination ]CBR defined as the proportion of subjects with a confirmed partial response (PR), complete response (CR), or stable disease.
- Duration of Objective Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Multiple time points in each cycle (each cycle is 28 days), throughout study completion, an average of 2 years, or participant becomes lost to follow up, or study termination ]DOR defined as the time from the initial objective response to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Multiple time points in each cycle (each cycle is 28 days), throughout study completion, an average of 2 years, or participant becomes lost to follow up, or study termination ]PFS time is defined as the time from the first dose of study drug (Day 1) to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

- 2B : Head and Neck cohort: Participants with recurrent squamous cell head and neck carcinoma that are not candidates for curative treatment with local or systemic therapy, or metastatic (disseminated) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx that is considered incurable by local therapies.
- Part 3A and 3B Imaging Substudy:
- 3A: Participants with locally advanced or metastatic TNBC that have exhausted standard treatment for their incurable disease and are treatment naïve to a PD-1/PD-L1 targeting agent.
- 3B: Participants with recurrent HNSCC that are not candidates for curative treatment with local or systemic therapy, or metastatic HNSCC of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx that is considered incurable by local therapies. Participants must be treatment naïve to a PD-1/PD-L1 targeting agent.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) of 0 to 2.
- Participants must have immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (iRECIST) evaluable or measurable disease in the PART 1 and measurable disease per iRECIST in PART 2
