For the dose expansion phase: Subjects with triple-negative breast cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), refractory to or relapsed from standard therapies, or for which there is no known effective treatment. In addition to these 3 tumor types, up to 5 subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors refractory to or relapsed from standard therapies or for which there is no known effective treatment, with other tumor types for which Notch activation has been demonstrated with pre-clinical or clinical data (e.g., pancreatic, ovarian, melanoma), may be enrolled in the expansion cohort. Note: Subjects with CRC must have known K-Ras mutation status. |

11 | Signed an approved study-specific informed consent and HIPAA |
1 | Known or suspected brain metastases, primary brain tumors, or brain as the only site of disease |
2 | Pregnant or breastfeeding women. WOCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to the start of investigational product. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and men must be using an acceptable method of contraception throughout the study and for up to 12 weeks after the last dose of investigational product. |
3 | Evidence of uncontrolled, active infection, requiring parenteral anti-bacterial, anti-viral or anti-fungal therapy 7 days or less prior to administration of study medication |
4 | Failure to recover from acute, reversible effects of prior chemotherapy |

Controlled AF is not an exclusion criterion. |
8 | History of medically significant thromboembolic events or bleeding diathesis within the past 6 months, such as CVA (including TIA), PE, pulmonary hemorrhage >2 teaspoonfuls/24hrs or repeated pulmonary hemorrhage, GI hemorrhage requiring transfusion or procedural intervention |
9 | Required anti-coagulation therapy with an agent such as warfarin or heparin |
10 | Subjects with concomitant second malignancies (except adequately treated non-melanomatous skin cancers or in-situ bladder, breast or cervical cancers) are excluded, unless a CR was achieved at least 3 years prior to study entry and no additional therapy is required or anticipated to be required during the study period |
11 | Serious uncontrolled medical disorder which would impair the ability of the subject to receive protocol therapy |
12 | Incomplete recovery from toxicity of surgery or other procedures prior to start of study drug |
13 | Inability to be venipunctured and/or tolerate venous access |
14 | Any other sound medical, psychiatric, and/or social reason as determined by the investigator |

21 | Exposure to any investigational drug within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of or concurrent with study drug administration |
22 | Use of any herbal supplements within 1 week prior to study drug administration |
23 | Use of medications causing Torsades de Pointes within 1 week or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) |
