Experimental: BOS172738
In Part A (dose escalation), participants with advanced solid tumors with rearranged during transfection (RET) gene alterations will receive oral BOS172738 at a starting dose of 10 milligrams (mg) once daily in each 28-day cycle. In Part B (dose expansion), participants with RET gene-fusion non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with RET gene-mutant medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), and with RET gene-altered advanced tumors or NSCLC/MTC with prior specific RET gene-targeted therapy will be enrolled in Cohorts 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and will receive oral BOS172738 once daily in each 28-day cycle at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) established in Part A.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply:
- Male or female participants must be ≥ 18 years, at the time of signing the informed consent
- Diagnosis of advanced solid tumor with a documented rearranged during transfection (RET) gene altered malignancy as determined locally by a DNA based assay of tumor tissue and/or blood
- Participants must have no alternative approved therapy.
- For participants in Part B expansion cohort only: documented local diagnosis of either 1) advanced RET gene fusion non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); 2) advanced RET gene mutant medullary thyroid cancer (MTC); or 3) other RET gene altered advanced tumors or NSCLC/MTC with prior specific RET gene targeted therapy
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
- Negative pregnancy test for females of child bearing potential; must be surgically sterile, postmenopausal, or willing and able to be compliant with a contraceptive regimen
- Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations.
- Capable of giving signed informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
- Inability to take oral medications or gastrointestinal (GI) conditions that can interfere with the swallowing or absorption of study medication
- Uncontrolled or severe concurrent medical condition
- History of upper GI bleeding, ulceration, or perforation within 12 months prior to the first dose of study drug
- Known history of stroke or cerebrovascular accident within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug
- Participants with known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) (testing not required)
- Participants who are hepatitis B surface antigen positive or participants who are hepatitis C antibody positive (Participants who have been successfully treated for hepatitis C virus [HCV] are eligible if an undetectable HCV viral load at least 6 months after completion of treatment can be demonstrated.)
- Any evidence of serious active infections
- Uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
