* Major Surgery: At least 2 weeks from prior major surgical procedure. Note: Major surgical procedure will be considered all surgical procedures aside from the following: Biopsy; central line placement/removal; bone marrow aspirate/biopsy; lumbar puncture; dental procedures; gastrostomy tube placement; and VP shunt placement/revision.
* BET inhibitors: Patients must not have received prior treatment with a BET inhibitor, except patients with CNS tumors or CNS metastasis previously treated on Arm 1 of the trial who discontinued protocol therapy due to disease progression and not due to toxicity. Such patients may participate in Arm 2 of the trial.
* Participants must have normal organ function as defined below.
* Bone Marrow Function
* For Patients without Documented Bone Marrow Involvement by Disease:

  * Hemoglobin \> 8 g/dL (may be transfused)
  * Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,000 /uL

  * Other investigational agents being administered under an IND.
* Pregnant participants will not be entered on this study given that the effects of BMS-986158 and BMS-986378 (CC-90010) on the developing human fetus are unknown. Female participants of childbearing potential must have a documented negative pregnancy exam within 24 hours prior to dosing.
* Breastfeeding mothers are not eligible, because there is an unknown risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with BMS-986158 or BMS-986378 (CC-90010).
* History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to BMS-986158 or BMS-986378 (CC-90010).

* Patients with gastrointestinal disease or disorder that could interfere with absorption of BMS-986158 or BMS-986378 (CC-90010), such as bowel obstruction or inflammatory bowel disease.
* For Arm 1: Patients with BSA \< 0.3 m2 for all dose levels except Dose Level -2 or -2i for which patients with BSA \< 0.71 m2 will be excluded due to dose rounding constraints.
