Inclusion Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Has provided signed, written informed consent.
- Male or female, age greater than and equal to 18 years of age at the time of signing
the informed consent form.
- Has histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of a solid tumor malignancy
that is not responsive to standard therapy(ies) or for which there is no approved
therapy.
- Has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
- Able to swallow and retain oral medication.
- Has adequate baseline organ function as follows: System: Hematologic - absolute
neutrophil count, Laboratory values: greater than and equal to 1.2 × 109/L;System:
Hematologic - Hemoglobin, laboratory values: greater than and equal to 9 g/dL;
System: Hematologic-platelets, laboratory values: greater than and equal to 75 ×
109/L; System: Hematologic - Prothrombin time (PT), INR (international normalizing
ratio - a blood clotting test))and Partial thromboplastin time (PTT), laboratory
values: less than and equal to 1.5 times ULN(Upper limit of normal); System -
Hepatic - Total bilirubin, laboratory values: less than and equal to 1.5 times ULN;
System: Hepatic-ALT(Alanine aminotransferase), laboratory values: less than and
equal to 2.5 times ULN; System: Renal-Creatine, laboratory values: less than anad
equal to 1.5 times ULN; or System: Renal-Calculated creatinine clearance, laboratory
values: greater than and equal to 50 mL/min; or System: Renal-24hour urine creatine
clearance, laboratory values: greater than and equal to 50 mL/min; System:
Cardiac-LVEF, laboratory values: greater than and equal to LLN (Lower limit of
normal) by ECHO or MUGA(Multigated acquisition scan). Abbreviations: ALT, alanine
aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ECHO, echocardiogram; INR;
LLN,lower limit of normal; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MUGA; PT,
prothrombin time; PTT, partial thromboplastin time; ULN, upper limit of normal. INR
greater than 1.5 times ULN will be acceptable in case of subjects receiving
therapeutic anticoagulants such as warfarin as long as INR is monitored during the
study according to clinical practice; Calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula; If
LLN is not defined for a given institution, then ejection fraction must be greater
than and equal to 50%. NOTE: Subjects with aspartate aminotransferase (AST), ALT or
bilirubin values outside the range(s) in the table due to Gilbert's syndrome or
asymptomatic gallstones are not excluded. Laboratory results obtained during
Screening should be used to determine eligibility criteria. In situations where
laboratory results are outside the permitted range, the investigator may opt to
retest the subject and the subsequent within-range screening result may be used to
confirm eligibility.
- Have serum potassium, serum magnesium, and total serum calcium levels within normal
limits. NOTE: If total serum calcium is below the LLN, then it will be necessary to
determine the albumin-corrected total serum calcium level. Use the following
calculation: Calcium (mg/dL) = measured total Calcium (mg/dL) + 0.8 (4.0 - serum
albumin [g/dL]) NOTE: If serum potassium or magnesium level is below the LLN,
supplementation is permitted in order to meet the inclusion criterion. Subject should
be retested following supplementation. In order to avoid a situation where the
subject cannot be dosed during the study due to electrolyte levels falling below the
LLN, it is strongly recommended to maintain serum potassium levels greater than 4
mEq(Milliequivalent )/L and serum magnesium levels greater than 2.2 mg/dL whenever
possible. Slight elevations of potassium or magnesium above the upper limit of normal
may be seen during supplementation and will not exclude subjects from study entry.
- If a female subject of childbearing potential, must have a negative serum pregnancy
test within 14 days of first dose of study treatment and agree to use effective
contraception, as defined in the protocol. during the study and for 4 months
following the last dose of study treatment.
Exclusion Criteria:

inhibitor or disease progression while receiving treatment with a MEK inhibitor.
- Any of the following ECG findings: QTcF (preferred) or QTcB(interval corrected for
heart rate by Bazett's formula) interval greater than and equal to 480 msec;

second-degree (type II) or third-degree atrioventricular block; Evidence of

branch block (LBBB) NOTE: Right bundle branch block (RBBB), incomplete LBBB or
incomplete RBBB will be exclusionary ONLY if QRS(a name for the combination of the

120 msec; Intraventricular conduction delay with QRS duration greater than 120 msec;

disease; Cardiac metastases
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), as measured by ECHO or MUGA scan, below
the institutional LLN, or if a LLN does not exist at an institution, less than 50%
