Part 1: Dose Escalation. The primary objective of Part 1 of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of KB-0742 in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
Part 2: Cohort Expansion. The primary objective of Part 2 of this study is to further evaluate the safety and tolerability of KB-0742 in defined participant cohorts.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Males or females ≥ 18 years old (Parts 1 and 2A); males or females ≥ 16 years old (Part 2B)
- Willing and able to provide consent (and assent for participants between the ages of 16-18)
-
Part 1: Participants who meet at least 1 of the following criteria:

Tumor types of interest (R/R without other available therapeutic options) are:
- Small cell lung cancer (SCLC)
