Dual active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBsAg (+) and /or detectable HBV DNA) and HCV infection (anti-HCV Ab(+) and detectable HCV RNA) at study entry. Single active infection of HBV or HCV infection is allowed with treatment by local standards
* Has untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis identified either on the baseline brain imaging, unless known and treated with stable for \>4 weeks
* Significant acute gastrointestinal disorders with diarrhea as a major symptom e.g., Crohn's disease, malabsorption, or CTCAE Grade ≥ 2 diarrhea of any etiology

* Participants must remain on antiviral therapy for the study duration and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. Participants who test positive for anti-HBc with undetectable HBV DNA (\<10 IU/mL or under the limit of detection per local laboratory) do not require antiviral therapy unless HBV DNA exceeds 10IU/mL or reaches detectable limits per local laboratory during the course of treatment
* Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody. EXCEPTIONS: Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA.

Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) are eligible if they undergo treatment per local guidelines
