Cohort B1S is a safety run-in arm evaluating cevostamab and Pd administered in 28-day cycles every 2 weeks (Q2W) followed by every 4 weeks (Q4W) schedule. Additional safety run-in cohort(s) with lower target dose levels of cevostamab may be opened prior to opening the expansion cohorts. Two target dose levels of target dose level 1 (DL1) and lower dose level -1 (DL-1) of cevostamab will be selected for randomization in expansion cohorts. Expansion cohorts will follow the same Q2W/Q4W dosing schedule as Cohort B1S.

Additional safety run-in cohort(s) with lower target dose levels of cevostamab may be opened prior to opening the expansion cohorts. Two target dose levels of DL1 and DL-1 of cevostamab will be selected for randomization in expansion cohorts. Expansion cohorts will follow the same Q3W/Q4W dosing schedule as Cohort C1S.
