8. Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements:

   a. Total bilirubin ≤ 10 x the upper limits of normal (ULN) b. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate amino-transferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN for subjects with liver involvement of their cancer) c. Alkaline phosphatase limit ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN for subjects with liver involvement of their cancer) d. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x the ULN e. International normalized ratio (INR)/ Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN. (Subjects who are prophylactically treated with an agent such as warfarin or heparin will be allowed to participate provided that no prior evidence of underlying abnormality in coagulation parameters exists. Close monitoring of at least weekly evaluations will be performed until INR/PTT is stable based on a measurement that is pre-dose as defined by the local standard of care.

   f. Platelet count ≥100000 /mm3, hemoglobin (Hb) ≥9 g/dL, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1500/mm3. Blood transfusion to meet the inclusion criteria will not be allowed.
9. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to the start of study drug. Post-menopausal women (defined as no menses for at least 1 year) and surgically sterilized women are not required to undergo a pregnancy test. The definition of adequate contraception will be based on the judgment of the investigator.
10. Subjects (men and women) of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception beginning at the signing of the ICF until at least 2 months after the last dose of study drug as outlined in Appendices 12.2
11. The definition of adequate contraception will be based on the judgment of the principal investigator or a designated associate.
12. Subject must be able to swallow and retain oral medication.

Exclusion Criteria:

* 1\. Hematology laboratory values of:

  1. Absolute neutrophil count ≤1000 cells/mm3
  2. Platelets ≤70,000 cells/mm3
  3. Hemoglobin ≤9 g/dL
  4. White blood count ≤3000 cells/mm3. 2. Hepatic laboratory values of aspartate transaminase or alanine aminotransferase:

  1. \>5 × upper limits of normal (ULN) if the documented history of hepatic metastases; or
  2. \>2.5 × ULN if no liver metastases are present. 3. Serum albumin \<5.8 g/dL. 4. Total bilirubin \>10 mg/dL. 5. Prothrombin time (PT) or international normalized ratio (INR) \>1.5 × ULN. Note: Patients receiving therapeutic doses of anticoagulant therapy may be considered eligible if PT and INR are within the acceptable institutional therapeutic limits.

     6\. Serum creatinine or serum urea \>1.5 × ULN. 7. Estimated glomerular filtration rate \<50 mL/min. 8. Positive pregnancy test, pregnant, or breastfeeding (female patients only). 9.

     10\. Any clinically significant and/or uncontrolled cardiac-related abnormality that would compromise patient safety or the outcome of the study including, but not limited to:

  <!-- -->

  1. Arrhythmia
  2. Bradycardia
  3. Tachycardia
  4. Symptomatic valvular disease
  5. Symptomatic congestive heart failure is classified by New York Heart Association as Class III or IV
  6. Unstable angina pectoris. 11. Myocardial infarction within the past 6 months from the consent date. 12. Active bleeding diathesis. 13. Current complaints of persistent constipation or history of chronic constipation, bowel obstruction, or fecaloma within the past 6 months from the consent date.

     14\. Known history and/or uncontrolled hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 or HIV-2 from the consent date.

     15\. Active or recent (within 3 years) non-colorectal cancer malignancies, except for low-risk, cured cancers (e.g., squamous or basal cell carcinomas, in situ carcinomas, or others deemed non-significant by the investigator).

     16\. Receipt of live, attenuated vaccine (e.g., intranasal influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella) or close contact with someone who has received a live, attenuated vaccine within the past 1 month. Note: Influenza vaccine will be allowed if administered \>21 days.

     17\. Receipt of any investigation agent or study treatment within the past 30 days.

     18\. Ongoing infection \> Grade 2 NCI-CTCAE V5.0. 19. Symptomatic metastatic brain or meningeal tumors. 20. The presence of a non-healing wound, non-healing ulcer, or bone fracture. 21. Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury within 28 days before start of study medication 22. Renal failure that requires hemo-or peritoneal dialysis.
