Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Histologic or cytologic diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma (including endometrioid,
             serous, mixed adenocarcinoma, clear-cell carcinoma, or carcinosarcoma).

          2. Evidence that the endometrial cancer is advanced, recurrent, or persistent and has
             relapsed or is refractory to curative therapy or established treatments.

          3. At least 1 prior platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimen, but not more than 2 prior
             chemotherapeutic regimens, for management of endometrial carcinoma. Prior treatment
             may include chemotherapy, chemotherapy/radiation therapy, and/or
             consolidation/maintenance therapy. Chemotherapy administered in conjunction with
             primary radiation as a radio-sensitized therapy will be considered a systemic
             chemotherapy regimen.

          4. Measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1,
             defined as at least 1 lesion that can be accurately measured in at least 1 dimension
             (longest diameter to be recorded). Each lesion must be greater than or equal to (>=)
             10 millimeter (mm) in long axis when measured by computed tomography (CT), magnetic
             resonance imaging (MRI), or caliper measurement by clinical exam. Lymph nodes must be
             >= 15 mm in short axis when measured by CT or MRI.

          5. Tumor accessible and participant consents to undergo fresh tumor biopsies.

          6. Female participants 18 years or older.

          7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2

          8. Female participants who:

               -  Are postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, OR

               -  Are surgically sterile, OR

               -  If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 1 highly effective
                  method of contraception and 1 additional effective (barrier) method at the same
                  time, from the time of signing the informed consent through 90 days (or longer,
                  as mandated by local labeling [example, United States Prescribing Information
                  (USPI), Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), etc.]) after the last dose of
                  study drug, OR

               -  Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and
                  usual lifestyle of the participant. (Periodic abstinence [example, calendar,
                  ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods], withdrawal, spermicides only,
                  and lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female
                  and male condoms should not be used together.)

             study drug:

               -  Bone marrow reserve consistent with absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1500 per
                  micro liter (/mcL); platelet count >= 100,000/mcL; hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) less
