Experimental: Phase 1b: Dose Escalation
Two dosing cohorts (erdafitinib and cetrelimab; and erdafitinib, cetrelimab and cisplatin/carboplatin) are explored in Phase 1b of the study. Participants will receive erdafitinib orally followed by cetrelimab intravenously (IV) and carboplatin/cisplatin IV as a part of platinum chemotherapy. The dose levels will be escalated sequentially based on the decisions of the Study Evaluation Team (SET) until the recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) has been identified.

Drug: Erdafitinib
Participants will receive erdafitinib orally.
Other Name: JNJ-42756493 Drug: Cetrelimab Participants will receive cetrelimab by intravenous infusion.
Other Name: JNJ-63723283 Drug: Cisplatin Participants will receive cisplatin by intravenous infusion as a part of platinum chemotherapy. Drug: Carboplatin Participants will receive carboplatin by intravenous infusion as a part of platinum chemotherapy. |
Experimental: Phase 2: Dose Expansion
The participants will be randomized in a 1:1 manner to receive either erdafitinib alone (orally) or the identified RP2D of Phase 1b for erdafitinib (orally) in combination with cetrelimab (IV).

- Phase 1b: Percentage of Participants with Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks ]The Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) are based on drug related adverse events and defined as any of the following events: hematological / non hematological toxicity of Grade 3 or higher.
- Phase 2: Overall Response Rate (ORR) (Partial Response [PR] or Better) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 by Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with PR or complete response (CR) as defined by RECIST 1.1, as assessed by the investigator.
- Phase 2: Number of Participants with Adverse Event (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]An AE is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.
- Phase 1b and Phase 2: Plasma Concentration of Erdafitinib [ Time Frame: Cycle(C)1 Day(D)1 up to C3D1 (each cycle of 28 days) ]Plasma concentrations will be reported for erdafitinib.
- Phase 1b and Phase 2: Serum Concentration of Cetrelimab [ Time Frame: Up to Follow-up (approximately up to 2 years) ]Serum concentrations will be reported for cetrelimab.
- Phase 1b: Plasma Concentration of Platinum (Cisplatin and Carboplatin) Chemotherapy [ Time Frame: C1D1 up to C4D1 (each cycle of 21 days) ]Plasma concentrations will be reported for platinum (cisplatin and carboplatin) chemotherapy.
- Phase 1b and Phase 2: Number of Participants with Anti-Cetrelimab Antibodies [ Time Frame: Up to Follow-up (approximately up to 2 years) ]Number of participants with anti-cetrelimab antibodies will be reported.
- Phase 2: Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]An SAE is any AE that results in: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, is life-threatening experience, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect and may jeopardize participant and/or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.
- Phase 2: Number of Participants with Abnormal Laboratory Values [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Number of participants with abnormal laboratory values will be reported.
- Phase 2: Duration of Response (DoR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]DoR is defined as the time from the date of initial documentation of a response (CR or PR) to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (or relapse for participants who experience CR during the study) or death.
- Phase 2: Time to Response (TTR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]TTR is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of initial documentation of a response (CR or PR).
- Phase 2: Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]PFS is defined as the duration from the date of randomization until the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (or relapse for participants who experience CR during the study) or death, whichever comes first.
- Phase 2: Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the participant's death.
