• Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of non-hematological malignancy for which there is no curative therapy available.
• Tumor that carries a missense HRAS mutation according to a methodology approved by the Sponsor.
• Subject has measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1 and has relapsed or is refractory to prior therapy.
• At least 2 weeks since the last systemic therapy regimen prior to enrolment. Subjects must have recovered to NCI CTCAE v. 4.03 < Grade 2 from all acute toxicities (excluding Grade 2 toxicities that are not considered a safety risk by the Sponsor and Investigator) or toxicity must be deemed irreversible by the Investigator.
• At least 2 weeks since last radiotherapy. If radiation was localized to the only site of measurable disease, there must be documentation of disease progression of the irradiated site. Subjects must have recovered from all acute toxicities from radiotherapy.
• ECOG performance status 0 or 1

Exclusion Criteria

• Ongoing treatment with an anticancer agent not contemplated in the study protocol.
• Prior treatment with an FTase inhibitor
• History of relevant coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction within last 3 years, NYHA Grade III or greater congestive heart failure, cerebro-vascular attack within the prior year, or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication except atrial fibrillation.
• Known uncontrolled brain, leptomeningeal or epidural metastases (unless treated and well controlled for at least 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1). Controlled brain metastases that require continuous high dose corticosteroid use within 4 weeks of Day 1.
• Non-tolerable >= Grade 2 neuropathy or evidence of emerging or rapidly progressing neurological symptoms within 4 weeks of Cycle 1 Day 1. Non-tolerable grade 2 toxicities are defined as those with moderate symptoms that the patient is not able to endure for the conduct of instrumental activities of daily life or that persists = 7 days
• Major surgery, other than diagnostic surgery, within 4 weeks prior to first dose, without complete recovery.
• Active, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, requiring systemic therapy. Known infection with HIV, or an active infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C
