toxicities), chemotherapy within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer (6 weeks
for nitrosoureas, mitomycin C or bevacizumab), anti-cancer monoclonal antibody for
direct anti-neoplastic treatment within 3 weeks, or who has not recovered from

defined as one requiring the administration of general anesthesia.
5. Patient is currently participating in a study with an investigational compound or
device.
6. Patient has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous
meningitis. However, patients with CNS metastases who have completed a course of
therapy would be eligible for the study provided they are clinically stable for at
least 4 weeks prior to entry as defined as: (1) no evidence of new or enlarging CNS
metastasis on brain imaging within 4 weeks of enrollment (2) off steroids for 2 weeks.
Patients with clinically insignificant brain metastases that do not require treatment
are eligible.
7. Patient has a primary central nervous system tumor
8. Patient has known hypersensitivity to the components of study drug or its analogs.
9. Patient has a history or current evidence of clinically significant heart disease
including:
- Clinically significant congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris,
- Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia,
- Myocardial infarction during the last 6 months, and/or a current ECG tracing that
is abnormal in the opinion of the treating Investigator,
- QTc prolongation >480 msec (Bazett's Formula),
- Congenitally long QT syndrome, and/or current anti-arrhythmic therapy
10. Patient with evidence of clinically significant bradycardia (HR <50), or a history of
clinically significant bradyarrhythmias such as sick sinus syndrome, 2nd degree
atrioventricular (AV) block (Mobitz Type 2), Patient with uncontrolled hypertension
(=140/90 mmHg). Patients who are controlled on antihypertensive medication will be
allowed to enter the study.
11. Patient has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or lab
abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the patient's
participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of
the patient to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
12. Patient has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with

prophylaxis
18. Patients who require medications that are strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers.
19. Patients who have discontinued any of these medications must have a wash-out period of

the first dose of dinaciclib (Refer to Appendix 2 Drugs that interact strongly with
CYP3A4).
20. Patients requiring warfarin therapy are excluded, low molecular weight heparin is
permitted.
21. Patient has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving ongoing immunosuppressive
therapy, including systemic or enteric corticosteroids except for non-systemically
absorbed treatments (such as inhaled or topical steroid therapy for asthma, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, allergic rhinitis). Patient must be off systemic
steroid or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to first
dose of trial treatment.
22. Patient is diagnosed with active autoimmune disease that has required systemic
treatment in past 2 years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids
or immunosuppressive drugs). Note: replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or
physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency)
is not considered a form of systemic treatment.
23. Patient has history of interstitial lung disease or known history of, or any evidence
