3. Has been previously treated with systemic anticancer treatment of more than 6 regimens for breast cancer or 3 regimens for other solid tumors (note: local administration of rituximab is allowed but intrathecal methotrexate or concurrent chemoradiotherapy is regarded as systemic therapy).

6. Has a history of other active malignancy within 3 years prior to Screening (note: patients with non-melanoma skin cancer, in situ melanoma, or in situ cervical cancer are permitted to be enrolled).

7. Has any of the following laboratory abnormalities during Screening:

   • Hematology (note: transfusion or hematopoietic growth factor administration within 14 days prior to Screening test is not allowed):

     • -White blood cell (WBC) count < 2.5 × 10 power 9/L
     • -Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1500/µL
     • -Platelets < 100000/µL
     • -Hemoglobin < 9.0 g/dL.

   • Clinical chemistry:

     • -Creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min according to the Cockroft-Gault equation
     • -Total bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN
     • -Aspartate aminotransferase/transaminase (AST or SGOT) > 2.5 × ULN (> 5 × ULN with liver metastases)
     • - Alanine aminotransferase/transaminase (ALT or SGPT) > 2.5 × ULN (> 5 × ULN with liver metastases).

8. Currently has uncontrolled NCI-CTCAE Grade ≥ 2 hypercalcemia.

9. Has undergone prior treatment with a cumulative dose of doxorubicin of > 360 mg/meter square or previous treatment with another anthracycline with a cumulative dose equivalent to > 360 mg/meter square doxorubicin.

10. Has a current infection (including tuberculosis infection, among others) requiring systemic antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral therapy within 14 days prior to the first dose of the IP (note: antiviral therapy is permitted for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma or chronic hepatitis B virus [HBV] or hepatitis C virus [HCV] infection).

11. Has untreated chronic hepatitis B or is a chronic HBV carrier (undetectable HBV DNA) at Screening (note: patients who are inactive hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] carriers or have treated and stable hepatitis B (undetectable HBV DNA) can be enrolled; patients with detectable HBsAg or detectable HBV DNA should be managed per treatment guidelines. Patients receiving antivirals at Screening should have been treated for > 2 weeks before the first dose of IP).

12. Has active or chronic hepatitis C (note: patients with a negative HCV antibody test at Screening or positive HCV antibody test followed by a negative HCV RNA test at Screening are eligible; the HCV RNA test will only be performed for patients testing positive for HCV antibody. Patients receiving antivirals at Screening should have been treated for > 2 weeks before the first dose of IP).

13. Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus infection.

14. Has received live vaccines within 4 weeks of the first dose of IP (note: the seasonal flu vaccines that does not contain live virus and coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19] vaccines are allowed).

15. Has had major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the IP. Patients should have recovered from the effects of major surgery or significant traumatic injury within 16 days prior to the first dose of the IP (note: major surgery is defined as one that cannot be performed with local anesthesia [i.e., general anesthesia, respiratory assistance, or regional anesthesia] or an open biopsy).

16. Has received radiotherapy to a large field or including a vital organ within 14 days prior to the first dose of the IP (or 7 days prior to the first dose of the IP if a vital organ is not included).

17. Has central nervous system (CNS) metastases or spinal cord compression that are associated with progressive neurological symptoms, or that require treatment with more than 10 mg daily of prednisone or equivalent doses of corticosteroids, or that have not been on stable steroid treatment for at least 2 weeks prior to first drug administration (note: CNS metastases that have been either previously treated and controlled, or are symptomatic, or are untreated and asymptomatic are permitted and, when evaluable, should be captured as target lesion).

18. Has any other medical condition (with the exclusion of brain metastases as described above) requiring prednisone therapy of more than 10 mg daily or equivalent systemic steroid therapy (steroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency is permitted) or has received treatment with steroids for current or past non-infectious pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease.

19. Has impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac disease, including:

    • New York Heart Association Grade 2 or higher congestive heart failure.
    • Left ventricular ejection fraction < 50% within the last 6 months.
    • Coronary artery bypass graft or vascular stent implantation.
    • Any other uncontrolled cardiac condition such as unstable angina, arrhythmias requiring treatment, atrial fibrillation, or hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 160 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg).
    • Baseline prolongation of QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's method (QTcF) of > 470 msec for females or > 450 msec for males determined (by the average of 3 readings on triplicate 12-lead ECG) or history of long QTc syndrome (congenital or otherwise) or Torsade de Pointes.

20. Is unable to swallow capsules or has intractable nausea, vomiting, or gastrointestinal diseases that interfere with proper absorption, or has any absorption disorders that may interfere with absorption of the IP.

21. Has known or suspected allergy or anaphylaxis to any component of the IP.

22. Has pleural effusion, ascites, or pericardial effusion requiring catheter drainage, peritoneal shunting, or Cell-free and concentrated Ascites Reinfusion Therapy (CART) (note: CART is not allowed within 2 weeks of the Screening visit).

23. Has retinal vascular disorder, retinopathy, glaucoma, or retinal detachment.

24. Any other clinically significant comorbidities, such as neurological or psychological disorders, which in the judgment of the Investigator, could compromise compliance with the protocol, interfere with the interpretation of study results, or predispose the subject to safety risks.

25. For any other reason, as determined by the Investigator, the patient is deemed inappropriate to participate in the study.
