Dose Escalation, Multi-arm Study of MLN4924 Plus Docetaxel, Gemcitabine, or Combination of Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Participants With Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and assess the safety and tolerability of MLN4924 (pevonedistat) in combination with docetaxel, paclitaxel and carboplatin, and gemcitabine in participants with solid tumors.

The tumor must be radiographically or clinically evaluable and/or measurable
4. Recovered (that is, \<=Grade 1 toxicity) from the effects of prior antineoplastic therapy

10. Participants who are willing to refrain from donating blood for at least 90 days after their final dose of MLN4924 and (for male participants) willing to refrain from donating semen for at least 4 months after their final dose of MLN4924
11. Availability of fixed tumor specimen (block or slides) for exploratory biomarker analysis. If no slides or block are available, fresh tumor biopsies should be obtained and used for these assessments

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Major surgery within 14 days before the first dose of study drug
2. Female participants who are lactating or pregnant
3. Active uncontrolled infection or severe infectious disease
4. Receiving antibiotic therapy within 14 days before the first dose of study treatment
5. Life-threatening illness unrelated to cancer
6. Known hypersensitivity to study-assigned chemotherapy
7. Prior treatment with MLN4924; however, prior treatment with docetaxel, paclitaxel,carboplatin, and gemcitabine is allowed
8. History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to docetaxel (polysorbate 80-based formulations) for participants to be enrolled in Arm 1 (MLN4924 + docetaxel), history of hypersensitivity to carboplatin for participants to be enrolled in Arm 2 (MLN4924 + paclitaxel + carboplatin), or history of severe hypersensitivity to paclitaxel (cremophor-based formulations) for participants to be enrolled in Arm 2
9. Persistent diarrhea (greater than Grade 2) lasting \>3 days within 2 weeks before the first dose of study treatment
10. Systemic antineoplastic therapy within 21 days before the first dose of study drug
11. Radiotherapy within 14 days preceding the first dose of study treatment

Known cardiac/cardiopulmonary disease 21. Left ventricular ejection fraction 23. with a cardiac pacer whose heart rate is set at a fixed rate and participants on concomitant medication that may limit increase in heart rate in response to hypotension 24 History of severe intolerance to cytotoxic agent(s) given in the assigned arm
