•Male patients

The patient will always use a condom. For effective contraception, it is recommended that the female partner also use the contraceptive methods for female patients.

•Female patients

Female patients who may become pregnant should use one or more types of the following contraceptive methods. In addition, the male partner will always use a condom.

Intervention

Drug:
• SyB L-1101
SyB L-1101(rigosertib sodium) will be administered to two cohorts at either 1200 mg/day or 1800 mg/day. The dose will be administered intravenously for 72 continuous hours (3 days), followed by 11-day observation period. The treatment period of 14 days (3 days of administration + 11 days of observation) constitutes 1 cycle. The study will involve treatment through the second cycle, but treatment can be continued for 3 or more cycles if conditions for continued administration are satisfied.

Primary	Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)	A DLT was defined as adverse events for which a causal relationship with the investigational drug could not be ruled out and which met the following criteria that occurred by the final observation in Cycle 2. DLTs were also to be assessed in the Efficacy and Safety Assessment Committee.; Criteria: Grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity. However, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pyrexia, stomatitis, and esophagitis/dysphagia are excluded (Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and pyrexia that cannot be controlled with antiemetic, antidiarrheal, or antifebrile agents are regarded as DLTs); Grade 3 or higher stomatitis, esophagitis, and dysphagia that persist for >= 4 days	Up to 60 weeks
