7 days prior to the first dose of study drug)

patient willingness to undergo fresh tissue biopsies of up to 3 lesions. (Safely
accessible means risk of mortality or major morbidity < 1.5%, such as core needle
biopsy of breast, superficial lymph node, subcutaneous nodule, peripheral liver
nodule, pleural nodule, omental nodule, etc. or per investigator discretion)
- Negative serum or urine pregnancy test at screening for women of childbearing
potential.

the last dose of study drugs. See section 7.3 for list of approved birth control
methods.

conforms to federal and institutional guidelines.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Previous use of CDK 4/6 or HDAC inhibitors for cancer treatment
- Major surgery, radiotherapy, anticancer therapy, or investigational agents = 4 weeks
of treatment day 1 or =5 half-lives, whichever is shorter.

leptomeningeal disease unless determined by the treating physician that immediate CNS
specific treatment is not required and is unlikely to be required during the first
cycle of therapy.

use of valproic acid within = 5 days of the first dose of belinostat or while on
study.
- Active infection requiring systemic therapy.
- History of allergy or hypersensitivity to belinostat, ribociclib, or their binders.
- Uncontrolled arrhythmia, congestive heart failure or angina. Patients who have had a
myocardial infarction, symptomatic pericarditis, or cardiac surgery should be at least
6 months from the event and free of active symptoms

left bundle branch block, high-grade AV block (e.g., bifascicular block, Mobitz type
II and third degree AV block)

- Baseline QTcF>450 msec. The heart rate on the qualifying ECG must be between 50 and 90
BPM.
- Concurrent use of medication known to inhibit UGT1A1. Patients currently taking these
medications must have discontinued =7 days prior to treatment day 1.
- Concurrent use of herbal supplements, unless approved by the prinicipal investigator.
Patients currently taking herbal supplements must have discontinued = 7 days prior to
treatment day 1.
- Concurrent use of medication with a known risk of inducing Torsades de Pointes (on the
known risk list of crediblemeds.org) that cannot be discontinued or switched to a
different medication = 7 days prior to starting the study drug.
- Unresolved diarrhea = Grade 2, per CTCAE v5.0.
- Use of any of the following substances = 7 days prior to the start of the treatment:
- Known strong and moderate inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4/5, including
grapefruit, grapefruit hybrids, pomelos, star-fruit, and Seville oranges.
- Medications that have a narrow therapeutic window and are predominantly
metabolized through CYP3A4/5. Examples include certain benzodiazepines such as
alprazolam and anti-seizure medications such as carbamazepine. Ultimately
determination of drugs with a narrow therapeutic window is left to the discretion
of the principal investigator.
- Patient is currently receiving warfarin or other coumarin derived anti-coagulant, for
treatment, prophylaxis or otherwise.
--Note: Therapy with heparin, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), an oral factor Xa
inhibitor, an oral direct thrombin inhibitor, or fondaparinux is allowed.

inflammatory bowel disease, uncontrolled vomiting, or major stomach or small bowel
resection.
- Pregnant or breast feeding
- Women of child-bearing potential defined as all women physiologically capable of
becoming pregnant or men whose female partner is of child-bearing potential, unless
they are using highly effective methods of contraception during the study treatment
and for 6 months after stopping the treatment. Highly effective contraception methods
include:
- Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of
the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal,
post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of
contraception
- Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without
hysterectomy), total hysterectomy or tubal ligation at least 6 weeks before
taking study treatment. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive
status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment
- Male partner sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening). For female
patients on the study, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner
for that patient and the success of the vasectomy must be medically confirmed as
per local practice.
- Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD).
- Use of hormonal contraception plus a barrier contraceptive.

Note: Patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with an undetectable viral load within
6 months of the anticipated start of treatment are eligible for this trial.
- Known chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus infection with a detectable
viral load.
--Note: Patients with an undetectable HBV viral load on appropriate suppressive
therapy are eligible. Patients with an undetectable HCV viral load are eligible.
- Malignancy other than breast carcinoma or ovarian cancer (dose escalation) anticipated
to need systemic treatment within 1 year in the opinion of the enrolling investigator.
