Vss was calculated by CL*MRT. CL was the clearance for IV dosing. MRT was the mean residence time calculated for a single IV dose as AUMCinf/AUCinf - (DOF/2). AUMCinf was the area under the moment curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity. DOF was the duration of infusion. AUCinf was the area under the serum concentration time profile from time 0 extrapolated to infinity.
- Accumulation Ratio (Rac) of PF-06801591 - Part 1 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and 1 hour post dose on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 4 in Part 1 ]Rac was calculated by (Cycle 4 AUCtau) / (Cycle 1 AUCtau).

A participant was ADA positive if (1) baseline titer was missing or negative and participant had ≥ 1 post-treatment positive titer (treatment-induced), or (2) positive titer at baseline and had a ≥ 0.602 in titer from baseline in ≥ 1 post-treatment sample (treatment-boosted). Participants who were ADA positive at baseline but did not become boosted post-treatment were considered as ADA negative.
- Number of Participants With Neutralizing Antibodies (NAb) Positive Against PF-06801591 - Part 1 and Part 2 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (maximum of 851 days) ]Number of participants with NAb positive against PF-06801591 after IV and SC dosing - Part 1 and Part 2. A participant was NAb positive if (1) baseline titer was missing or negative and participant had ≥ 1 post-treatment positive titer (treatment-induced), or (2) positive titer at baseline and had a ≥ 0.602 in titer from baseline in ≥ 1 post-treatment sample (treatment-boosted).

PFS was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier approach for each tumor type. As this outcome measure was a secondary endpoint defined in the protocol to investigate preliminary signal of efficacy, the results were analyzed and are reported for Part 1 dose-escalation groups combined to provide more statistically meaningful results, instead of results analyzed by dose level with very limited number of participants in each group.
- Duration of Stable Disease (DOSD) Based on RECIST Version 1.1 and irRECIST - Part 1 and Part 2 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (maximum of 1606 days) ]DOSD was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier approach for each tumor type. Stable disease (SD) was defined as not qualifying for complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or progression. All target lesions must have been assessed. Stable could follow PR only in the rare case that the sum increased by less than 20% from the nadir, but enough that a previously documented 30% decrease no longer held. CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions with the exception of nodal disease. All target nodes must have decreased to normal size (short axis < 10 mm). All target lesions must have been assessed. PR was defined as greater than or equal to 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions. The short diameter was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for all other target lesions. All target lesions must have been assessed.

CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions with the exception of nodal disease. PR was defined as greater than or equal to 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions. Objective progression was defined as 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target measurable lesions above the smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease in the sum was observed during therapy), with a minimum absolute increase of 5 mm. As this outcome measure was a secondary endpoint defined in the protocol to investigate preliminary signal of efficacy, the results were analyzed and are reported for Part 1 dose-escalation groups combined to provide more statistically meaningful results, instead of results analyzed by dose level with very limited number of participants in each group.
- Time to Response (TTR) Based on RECIST Version 1.1 - Part 2 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment in Part 2 (maximum of 851 days) ]TTR was the time to confirmed or unconfirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on investigator assessment per RECIST v1.1 by tumor type. CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions with the exception of nodal disease. All target nodes must have decreased to normal size (short axis < 10 mm). All target lesions must have been assessed. PR was defined as greater than or equal to 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions. The short diameter was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for all other target lesions. All target lesions must have been assessed.
- Time to Progression (TTP) Based on RECIST Version 1.1 and irRECIST - Part 2 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment in Part 2 (maximum of 851 days) ]TTP was the time to objective progression. Objective progression was defined as 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target measurable lesions above the smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease in the sum was observed during therapy), with a minimum absolute increase of 5 mm. TTP was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier approach for each tumor type.
- Median Time to Death - Part 2 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment in Part 2 (maximum of 851 days) ]Median time to death was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier approach for each tumor type.
- Probability of Survival at 6 Months, 1 Year, and 2 Years - Part 2 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment in Part 2 (maximum of 851 days) ]Probability of survival was calculated from the product-limit method.
- Trough PF-06801591 Concentrations (Ctrough) - Part 2 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 2-6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, and Follow-up Day 28 in Part 2 ]Trough PF-06801591 Concentrations (Ctrough) - Part 2. Ctrough was directly observed from data.
