Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
  1. Patients have voluntarily agreed to participate by giving written informed consent.
  2. Patients must have received standard of care in the primary treatment of their disease.
  3. Patients who have the below specified histologically confirmed malignancies that have progressed to the advanced or metastatic stage.
  1. In Part A, the patients must have an advanced malignancy including but not limited to high-grade serous cancer of the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum, triple negative breast cancer, SCLC, primary peritoneal cancer, and any tumor likely to harbor DNA damage repair deficiencies susceptible to treatment with a PARP inhibitor or likely to be responsive to a PD-1 blocker.
  2. In Part B, the patients recruited to one of the eight expansion arms must have advanced solid tumors of the following types:
  Arm 1: Patients with relapsed, platinum-sensitive high grade epithelial, non-mucinous, ovarian cancer, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer (EOC) must meet the following criteria:
  i. Patients must have at least 2 prior platinum-containing treatments in any treatment setting.
  • Note: patients may have received additional therapy after the last platinum-containing regimen if the other eligibility criteria are met.
  ii. Patients must have platinum-sensitive recurrent disease and must not have progressed (by RECIST v1.1 criteria) within 6 months of the completion of the last platinum containing line of treatment
  • Note: patients may receive additional non-platinum based chemotherapy for recurrence after prior last platinum containing regimen if the criteria for platinum sensitivity are met.
  iii. Arm 1a: Patients with relapsed, platinum-sensitive high grade epithelial, non-mucinous, ovarian cancer, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer (EOC) with either known deleterious or suspected deleterious germline or somatic BRCA1/2 mutations or with HRD
  • If HRD or BRCA1/2 mutation status from archival tissue is unknown or has not been previously evaluated, then the archival tissue must undergo tissue screening using a validated diagnostic test to determine eligibility. If the diagnostic test result is BRCA1/2 or HRD positive the patient will be eligible for enrollment in Arm 1a iv. Arm 1b: Patients with relapsed, platinum-sensitive high grade EOC who otherwise meet the above criteria and are without known germline or somatic BRCA1/2 mutations and without HRD mutation
  Arm 2: Patients with triple negative breast cancer must meet the following criteria:
  i. Patients with 0-1 prior platinum-containing treatment in any treatment setting
  • Note: patients could have received additional therapy after the last platinum-containing line of treatment if the other eligibility criteria are met.
  ii. Patients who have received at least 1 prior treatment but not more than 3 prior lines of treatment in the advanced or metastatic setting.
  iii. Known deleterious or suspected deleterious germline or somatic BRCA1/2 mutations or with documented HRD
  -  If HRD or BRCA1/2 mutation status from archival tissue is unknown or has not been previously evaluated, then the archival tissue must undergo tissue screening using a validated diagnostic test to determine eligibility. If the diagnostic test result is HRD positive, then the patient will be eligible for enrollment in Arm 2
  -  If archival tissue is not available and the patient submits a fresh tumor biopsy, then the diagnostic test needs to demonstrate somatic BRCA1/2 mutation or HRD positivity.
  Arm 3: Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, including but not limited to mutations in homologous recombination (HR) pathways and/or defined by HRD algorithms, and must meet the following criteria:
  i. The patient may be either chemotherapy-naïve, but must have received prior abiraterone acetate and/or enzalutamide treatment, or have previously had no more than 2 taxane-based chemotherapy lines of treatment including docetaxel and carbazitaxel. If docetaxel is used more than once, this will be considered as 1 line of treatment.
  ii. At least 2 weeks since the completion of prior flutamide, bicalutamide, and nilutimide, or enzalutamide and abiraterone treatment.
  iii. Documented prostate cancer with one of the following:
  -  Surgically or medically castrated. The testosterone levels do not need to be checked if the patient has undergone surgical castration for > 4 months. Patients receiving chemical castration should have testosterone levels checked at baseline and confirmed to be in the castrate levels (< 0.5 ng/mL or 1.735 nM). In all cases the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) antagonist/agonist is to be continued in these patients
  -  Patients with only non-measurable bone lesions must have disease progression based on PCWG3 with 2 or more new lesions or have prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression before enrolment iv. Known deleterious or suspected deleterious germline or somatic BRCA1/2 mutations or with documented HRD
  -  If HRD or BRCA1/2 mutation status from archival tissue is unknown or has not been previously evaluated, then the archival tissue must undergo tissue screening using a validated diagnostic test to determine eligibility. If the diagnostic test result is HRD positive, then the patient will be eligible for enrollment in Arm 3
  -  If archival tissue is not available and the patient submits a fresh tumor biopsy, then the diagnostic test needs to demonstrate somatic BRCA1/2 mutation or HRD positivity.
  Arm 4: Patients with extensive-stage disease small cell lung cancer (SCLC) must meet the following criterion:
  i. Patients received at least 1 and not more than 2 prior lines of treatment ii. At least 1 prior line of treatment must have contained a platinum agent
