2.Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0,1, or 2
NOTE: If subject is unable to walk due to paralysis, but is mobile in a wheelchair, subject is considered to be ambulatory for the purpose of assessing their performance status
3.Has provided signed written informed consent
4.Has a life expectancy of >3 months
5.Has a malignancy:
•For which there are no standard therapies available (Cohorts 1, 3, 4&5)
•That is relapsed or refractory, defined as metastatic or non-resectable, locally advanced disease that has previously been treated with and progressed following approved therapy(ies), if therapy(ies) exists (Cohort 2)
•That has progressed within 6 months prior to study enrollment (Cohort 5 Expansion,Cohort 6 and 8 ONLY)
6.Has a documented local diagnostic pathology of original biopsy confirmed by a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) or other Sponsor-approved laboratory certification
7.For Cohort 1 (subjects with rhabdoid tumors only): The following test results must be available by local laboratory:
•Morphology and immunophenotypic panel consistent with rhabdoid tumors, and
•Loss of INI1 or SMARCA4 confirmed by IHC, or
•Molecular confirmation of tumor bi-allelic INI1 or SMARCA4 loss or mutation when INI1 or SMARCA4 IHC is equivocal or unavailable
8.For Cohort 2 (subjects with relapsed/refractory synovial sarcoma only): The following test results must be available by local laboratory:
•Morphology consistent with synovial sarcoma, and
•Cytogenetics or Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and/or molecular confirmation (e.g., DNA sequencing) of SS18 rearrangement t(X;18)(p11;q11)
9.For Cohort 3,4, 5, 7 and 8 (subjects with INI1-negative tumor or any solid tumor with EZH2 GOF mutation only): The following test results must be available by local laboratory:
•Morphology and immunophenotypic panel consistent with INI1-negative tumors (not applicable for solid tumors with EZH2 GOF mutation), and
•Loss of INI1 confirmed by IHC, or
•Molecular confirmation of tumor bi-allelic INI1 loss or mutation when INI1 IHC is equivocal or unavailable, or
•Molecular evidence of EZH2 GOF mutation
10.For Cohort 6 (subjects with epithelioid sarcoma undergoing mandatory tumor biopsy):
•Morphology and immunophenotypic panel consistent with epithelioid sarcoma (e.g., CD34, EMA, Keratin, and INI1)
•Tumor that is accessible for mandatory biopsy
Note: Subjects who are unable to undergo pre-dose (screening biopsy) will not be eligible
•Willingness to provide informed consent to undergo pre- and post-dose biopsy
11. Has all prior treatment (i.e., chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy) related clinically significant toxicities resolve to = Grade 1 per CTCAE, version 4.03 or are clinically stable and not clinically significant, at time of enrollment
12.Prior anti-cancer therapy(ies) according to the criteria described in the protocol.
13.Has sufficient tumor tissue (slides or blocks) available for central confirmatory testing of IHC and/or cytogenetics/FISH and/or DNA mutation analysis (required for study entry but enrollment based on local results).
14.Has measurable disease based on either RECIST 1.1 for solid tumors or RANO for CNS tumors as defined in the protocol.

6.Has thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, or anemia of Grade =3 (per
CTCAE 4.03 criteria) or any prior history of myeloid malignancies,
including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Has abnormalities known to
be associated with MDS (e.g. del 5q, chr 7 abn) and MPN (e.g. JAK2
V617F) observed in cytogenetic testing and DNA sequencing.
NOTE: Bone marrow aspirate/biopsy will be conducted following
abnormal peripheral blood smear morphology assessment conducted by
central laboratory. Cytogenetic testing and DNA sequencing will be
conducted following an abnormal result of bone marrow aspirate/biopsy.
7.Has a prior history of T-LBL/T-ALL.
8.Is unwilling to exclude grapefruit juice, Seville oranges and grapefruit
from the diet and all foods that contain those fruits from time of
enrollment to while on study.

undetectable HBV DNA or HCV RNA are eligible for this study;

immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
13.Has known active infection with hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus
