• Alterations of uncertain significance must be approved for inclusion by the Principal Investigator

  • Performance status of ECOG ≤ 2
  • Progressed on at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy.
• Patients who decline standard of care first-line systemic therapy will be permitted to enroll

• Prior adjuvant therapy will not count if it was completed more than 1 year before the date of consent

  • Presence of measurable disease by RECIST 1.1

• Target lesions must not be chosen from a previously irradiated field unless there has been radiographically and/or pathologically documented tumor progression in that lesion prior to enrollment.

  • Adequate organ function determined within 14 days of treatment initiation, defined below:
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 K/mcL
• Platelets ≥ 100 K/ mcL
• Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
• Serum creatinine OR Measured or calculated creatinine clearance Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 . For calculated CrCL, the Cockcroft Gault formula or institutional standard formula can be used.
• Serum total bilirubin ≤1.5 X ULN OR ≤2 X ULN if hyperbilirubinemia is due to Gilbert's syndrome
• AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); if liver metastases, then ≤ 5 × ULN

• International Normalized Ratio ≤1.5 X ULN (≤ 2.5 × ULN if on anticoagulants)

  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and ≤ 72 hours prior to the first dose of study treatment.
  • Women of childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effective method of contraception and not breastfeed for the duration of the study and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study medication

• Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred contraception for the subject.

  • Non-sterile male subjects and their female partners must be willing to use a highly effective method of contraception during the study treatment period and for at least 3 months after the last dose of study treatment. Nonsterile males must avoid sperm donation for the duration of the study and for at least 3 months after last study drug.
  • Prior chemotherapy or any investigational therapies or other anti-cancer agent must have been completed at least 4 weeks before the study drug administration. All AEs must be ≤ NCI CTCAE v5 Grade 1, except alopecia and stable neuropathy, which must have resolved to Grade ≤ 2 or baseline. Patients who were treated with estrogen modulating therapies (aromatase inhibitors, tamoxifen, GnRH agonists etc.) must have been treated at least 2 weeks prior to study drug administration.
  • Radiation therapy encompassing >20% of the bone marrow is prohibited within 2 weeks prior to Day 1 and during study treatment. Note: Palliative radiation therapy to a small field >1 week prior to Day 1 of study treatment may be allowed.
  • Patients must have normal blood pressure or adequately treated and controlled hypertension. (i.e. systolic BP ≤ 140 mmHg and diastolic BP ≤ 90 mmHg) .
  • Patients receiving corticosteroids may continue as long as their dose is stable for at least 4 weeks prior to initiating protocol therapy.
  • Participant must agree to not donate blood during the study or for 90 days after the last dose of study treatment.
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with documented undetectable viral load and CD 4 count ≥350 within 6 months of the first dose of study treatment are eligible for this trial.
