must be confirmed by pathological evaluation of the affected tissue.
- Cohort 4: Patients with RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK mutated tumor types that are not included
in other cohorts.
5. Patients in the Phase I dose escalation portion of the trial may have measurable (per
RECIST v1.1) or evaluable disease. Patients in the Phase I expansion and Phase II
portions of the trial must have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1.

the start of study drug, with the exception of hair loss or fatigue;
6. Patients who have previously participated in clinical trials of ERK inhibitors drug;
7. Allergic to similar drugs or their excipients;
8. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection, active hepatitis B or hepatitis C
patients (HBsAg positive patients also detected HBV (hepatitis B virus) DNA = 103
copies or = 200 IU/ml; HCV antibody test results are positive, and HCV (hepatitis C
virus) RNA PCR test results are positive);

10. Symptomatic CNS metastases that are neurologically unstable or requiring increasing
doses of steroids to control CNS disease. Note: Controlled CNS metastases are allowed.
Radiotherapy or surgery for CNS metastases must have been completed >2 weeks prior to
study entry. No new neurologic deficits on clinical examination and no new findings on
CNS imaging are permitted. Steroid use for management of CNS metastases must be at a
stable dose for two weeks preceding study entry;
