Brief summary

The main aim of this study are to check for side effects from TAK-853, check how much TAK-853 participants can receive without getting side effects from it, check how well TAK-853 controls symptoms, and to check how much TAK-853 stays in their blood over time. The study will be conducted in two phases including Phase 1 Part and Phase 2 Part. In Phase 1 Part, the participants will stay in the hospital for 3 days at least after their 1st injection for some tests and to check for any side effects from their treatment. In Phase 2 Part, participants will visit their study hospital for multiple times. In both phases, the participants will receive TAK-853 on the first days of each 3-week cycle. The participant will be in the study for about 9 months in Phase 1 Part and for about 24 months in Phase 2 Part. The study doctors will check for side effects from the study treatments.

Phase 1: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) in Cycle 1Up to Cycle 1 (up to 21 days)DLT was evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) V5.0 and defined as any of following events: 1. If re-treatment was not initiated within 14 days due to adverse event (AE) related to protocol treatment; 2. Grade 4 neutropenia for more than 7 days; 3. Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia with single temperature reading \>= 38.3-degree Celsius (°C) or sustained temperature reading of greater than (\>) 38°C for \>1 hour; 4.

Phase 1: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)From start of study drug up to 30 days after last dose (up to 3.7 months)An AE means any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not it is related to the medicinal product. This includes any newly occurring event, or a previous condition that has increased in severity or frequency since the administration of study drug.
Phase 1: Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher TEAEs by SeverityFrom start of study drug up to 30 days after last dose (up to 3.7 months)The severity grade was evaluated as per the NCI CTCAE Version 5.0, where Grade 1 scales as Mild (asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated); Grade 2 scales as Moderate (minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate instrumental Activities of Daily Living \[ADL\]); Grade 3 was severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care activities of daily living (ADL), Grade 4 was life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated, and Grade 5 was death related to AE. TEAEs were AEs with an onset date on or after the first dose of study drug, and within 30 days of the last dose of study drug or prior to the start of a new anti-cancer treatment, whichever occurs first.
Phase 1: Number of Participants With Serious TEAEsFrom start of study drug up to 30 days after last dose (up to 3.7 months)A serious TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence or effect that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital abnormality/birth defect, and was an important medical event.
Phase 1: Number of Participants With TEAEs Leading to Drug DiscontinuationFrom start of study drug up to 30 days after last dose (up to 3.7 months)TEAEs were defined as AEs with an onset date on or after the first dose of study drug, and within 30 days of the last dose of study drug or prior to the start of a new anti-cancer treatment, whichever occurred first. Number of participants with TEAEs leading to study drug discontinuation were reported.
Phase 1: Number of Participants With TEAEs Leading to Infusion InterruptionFrom start of study drug up to 30 days after last dose (up to 3.7 months)TEAEs were defined as AEs with an onset date on or after the first dose of study drug, and within 30 days of the last dose of study drug or prior to the start of a new anti-cancer treatment, whichever occurred first. Number of participants with TEAEs leading to infusion interruption were reported.
Phase 1: Number of Participants With TEAEs Leading to Dose DelayedFrom start of study drug up to 30 days after last dose (up to 3.7 months)TEAEs were defined as AEs with an onset date on or after the first dose of study drug, and within 30 days of the last dose of study drug or prior to the start of a new anti-cancer treatment, whichever occurred first. Number of participants with TEAEs leading to dose delayed were reported.
Phase 1: Number of Participants With TEAEs Leading to Dose ReductionFrom start of study drug up to 30 days after last dose (up to 3.7 months)TEAEs were defined as AEs with an onset date on or after the first dose of study drug, and within 30 days of the last dose of study drug or prior to the start of a new anti-cancer treatment, whichever occurred first. Number of participants with TEAEs leading to dose reduction were reported.
Phase 1: Number of Participants With Adverse Event of Clinical Interest (AECIs)From start of study drug up to 30 days after last dose (up to 3.7 months)AECIs (serious or nonserious) were those TEAEs which were of scientific and medical concern specific to the TAK-853. AECIs for TAK-853 included: 1. Ocular TEAEs, 2. Pneumonitis TEAEs, 3. Peripheral neuropathy TEAEs and 4. Infusion related TEAEs.
Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR) Assessed by Investigator With Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)Up to 7.2 monthsORR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a confirmed Partial Response (PR) or confirmed Complete Response (CR) during the study using RECIST 1.1. Complete response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. All pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 millimeters (mm). Partial response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SoD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SoD).
