History of autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years 13. Participants with prior solid organ or bone marrow transplantation. 14. Currently receiving a high-dose steroid (\>10 mg prednisone or equivalent per day) or other immune suppressant or has a condition requiring a chronic high-dose steroid or immune suppressant. 15. Prior and concomitant therapy: 1. Any prior treatment with MMAE-derived drugs or IB6 targeting agents. 2.
