Exclusion Criteria:

1. More than one prior chemotherapy regimen (except for adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy with more than 6 month wash out period) for the treatment of gastric cancer in the advanced setting.
2. Any previous treatment with PIK3CA, AKT or mTOR inhibitor or agents with mixed PI3K / mTOR activity.
3. Any previous treatment with paclitaxel
