Women must refrain from donating eggs during this same period.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Treatment with any of the following:

  • Any investigational agents or study drugs from a previous clinical study within 28 days of the first dose of study treatment
  • Any other chemotherapy, immunotherapy or anticancer agents within 14 days of the first dose of study treatment
  • Potent inhibitors or inducers or substrates of CYP3A4 or substrates of CYP2D6 within 2 weeks before the first dose of study treatment (3 weeks for St John's Wort)
  • Any prior exposure to Ipatasertib
• Major surgery (excluding placement of vascular access) within 4 weeks of the first dose of study treatment
• Radiotherapy with a wide field of radiation within 4 weeks or radiotherapy with a limited field of radiation for palliation within 2 weeks of the first dose of study treatment
• With the exception of alopecia, any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 1 at the time of starting study treatment
• Spinal cord compression or brain metastases unless asymptomatic, treated and stable and not requiring steroids for at least 2 weeks prior to start of study treatment
• Concurrent use of endocrine therapy
• As judged by the investigator, any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, including active bleeding diatheses, or active infection including hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Screening for chronic conditions is not required.

• Any of the following cardiac criteria:

  • Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, known prolonged QTc, conduction or morphology of resting ECG, complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block
  • Experience of any of the following procedures or conditions in the preceding 6 months: coronary artery bypass graft, angioplasty, vascular stent, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, congestive heart failure NYHA Grade 2 or greater
  • Uncontrolled hypotension - Systolic BP <90mmHg and/or diastolic BP <50mmHg
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below lower limit of normal for site

• Inadequate bone marrow reserve or organ function as demonstrated by any of the following laboratory values:

  • Absolute neutrophil count < 1.5 x 109/L
  • Platelet count < 100 x 109/L
  • Hemoglobin < 9 g/L

  • Aspartate aminotransferase > 2.5 times ULN
  • Total bilirubin > 1.5 times ULN
  • Creatinine >1.5 times ULN concurrent with creatinine clearance < 50 ml/min (measured or calculated by Cockcroft and Gault equation); confirmation of creatinine clearance is only required when creatinine is > 1.5 times ULN
  • Proteinuria 3+ on dipstick analysis or >500mg/24 hours
  • Sodium or potassium outside normal reference range for site
• Peripheral neuropathy grade 2 or greater
• Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, inability to swallow the formulated product or previous significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption Ipatasertib
• History of hypersensitivity to Ipatasertib, or drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to Ipatasertib

• Clinically significant abnormalities of glucose metabolism as defined by any of the following:

  • Diagnosis of type I or type II diabetes mellitus requiring insulin
  • A baseline fasting glucose value of ≥ 200 mg/dL (fasting glucose value to be obtained only if non-fasting glucose >200mg/dL)
  • Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) >7.5%
• Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites
• Other malignancies within the past 3 years, with the exception of adequately resected basal or squamous carcinoma of the skin
