• Dose Escalation for Part B may include:
• Confirmed recurrent high-grade non-mucinous ovarian cancer that is platinum-resistant, defined as disease relapse within a platinum-free interval (PFI, or the time elapsed from the last date of platinum dose until PD) of < 6 months, and with less than 5 prior therapies
• Dose Expansion for Part B limited to:
• Confirmed recurrent high-grade non-mucinous ovarian cancer with low ASNS expression levels that is platinum-resistant, defined as disease relapse within a PFI of < 6 months, and with less than 5 prior therapies.
• Dose Escalation for Part C may include:
• Patients with tumors harboring actionable KEAP1/NFE2L2 mutations Patients with tumors harboring PIK3CA hotspot mutations, activating AKT mutations, and inactivating PTEN mutations (irrespective of KEAP1/NFE2L2 mutations) Patients with low ASNS expression levels (HGSOC)
• Dose Expansion for Part C limited to:
• Patients with NSCLC with actionable KEAP1/NFE2L2 mutations Patients with HGSOClow ASNS expression levels (irrespective of biomarker status for KEAP1/NFE2L2)
• Patients must have received at least one line of therapy for advanced stage disease and be refractory or ineligible to available existing therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit for their condition.
• Prior treatment with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy or any investigational therapies must have been completed at least 3 weeks or at least five half lives, whichever is shorter, before the study drug administration, and all AEs (excluding alopecia and peripheral neuropathy) have either returned to ≤Grade 1 or stabilized. Patients with concurrent use of hormonal therapy for non-cancer related conditions (e.g., hormone replacement therapy) are allowed.
• Fresh and/or archival tumor tissue from a biopsy obtained between the completion of the most recent line of treatment until study entry must be available for mutation and biomarker analysis. If available, archival tumor tissue from the time of initial diagnosis or the most recent biopsy (archival and/or fresh) will be collected. For ovarian cancer patients, a fresh biopsy must be collected in addition to archival tumor tissue. NOTE: No fresh tumor tissue will be required if a previous biopsy detected the selected mutations for each cohort. In all cases, procedures to obtain fresh tumor tissue should not put the patient at undue risk, and should only be performed if the risk is minimal (no greater than 2% risk of serious or severe complications).
• Patients must have at least 1 lesion (measurable and/or non-measurable) that can be accurately assessed at baseline by CT or MRI and is suitable for repeated assessments.

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0×109/L Platelets ≥100×109/L Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL (>5.59 mmol/L) Creatinine clearance (CrCl) >50 mL/min. Actual body weight should be used for calculating creatinine clearance using the Cockroft Gault equation (except for patients with body mass index >30 kg/m2 when the lean body weight should be used, and without the need for chronic dialysis therapy).

• Highly effective non-hormonal contraceptive methods that are acceptable include:
• Total/true abstinence*** for the total duration of the study treatment and for at least 1 month after the last dose of study treatment. Periodic abstinence using methods such as calendar ovulation, symptothermal, post ovulation methods, declaration of abstinence solely for the duration of a trial, or withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.

• Implants (etonorgestrel-releasing) combined with a barrier method as described above.
• Intravaginal device (e.g., ethinyl estradiol- or etonogestrel-releasing) combined with a barrier method as described above.
• Intrauterine system (levonorgestrel-releasing) combined with a barrier method as described above.
• In addition to the to use one form of highly effective contraception combined with a barrier method, female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening (within 7 days of the start of treatment) and must not be breastfeeding.
• Non-sterile men, who are not sexually abstinent and intend to be sexually active with a woman of childbearing potential, must use a condom from the start of the trial and until 16 weeks after the last dose of treatment, or must practice total abstinence*** for the total duration of the study treatment and at least 3 months after the last dose of study treatment. Periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female partners of childbearing potential should consider the use of at least one contraception method describe above. If the female partner is pregnant, male participants should use a condom plus spermicide.
• Total/true abstinence is defined as a patient who refrains from any form of sexual intercourse, and this is in line with their usual and/or preferred lifestyle.
