- Stem cell infusion without TBI: no evidence of active graft vs. host disease and at least 84 days must have elapsed after transplant or stem cell infusion
PARP inhibitor exposure:
- Part A: Patients who have received prior therapy with a PARP inhibitor, with the exception of BMN 673, are eligible; however, patients who have progressed on a PARP inhibitor and temozolomide regimen are not eligible
- Part B: Patients who have previously been exposed to a PARP inhibitor are not eligible
- For patients with solid tumors without known bone marrow involvement: peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1000/mm^3
- For patients with solid tumors without known bone marrow involvement: platelet count >= 100,000/mm^3 (transfusion independent, defined as not receiving platelet transfusions for at least 7 days prior to enrollment)
- For patients with solid tumors without known bone marrow involvement: hemoglobin >= 8.0 g/dL (may receive red blood cell [RBC] transfusions)
- All patients enrolled on Part A of the study must be evaluable for hematologic toxicity
- Patients on Part B of the study with known bone marrow metastatic disease will be eligible for the study provided they meet the blood counts (may receive transfusions provided they are not known to be refractory to red cell or platelet transfusions); these patients will not be evaluable for hematologic toxicity
Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 70 ml/min/1.73 m^2 or a maximum serum creatinine (mg/dL) based on age/gender as follows:
- 1 to < 2 years: 0.6
- 2 to < 6 years: 0.8
- 6 to < 10 years: 1
- 10 to < 13 years: 1.2
- 13 to < 16 years: 1.5 for males, 1.4 for females
- >= 16 years: 1.7 for males, 1.4 for females
- Patients on Part A and Part B: bilirubin (sum of conjugated + unconjugated) =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age
- Patients on Part A and Part B: serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) (alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) =< 110 U/L; for the purpose of this study, the ULN for SGPT is 45 U/L
- Patients on Part A and Part B: serum albumin >= 2 g/dL
- All patients and/or their parents or legally authorized representatives must sign a written informed consent; assent, when appropriate, will be obtained according to institutional guidelines
- For patients enrolling on Part B: tissue blocks or slides must be sent; if tissue blocks or slides are unavailable, the Study Chair must be notified prior to enrollment
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study; pregnancy tests must be obtained in girls who are post-menarchal; males or females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method
- Patients receiving corticosteroids who have not been on a stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroid for at least 7 days prior to enrollment are not eligible
- Patients who are currently receiving another investigational drug are not eligible
- Patients who are currently receiving other anti-cancer agents are not eligible (except leukemia patients receiving hydroxyurea, which may be continued until 24 hours prior to start of protocol therapy); patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia may receive intrathecal therapy
- Patients who are receiving cyclosporine, tacrolimus or other agents to prevent graft-versus-host disease post bone marrow transplant are not eligible for this trial
- Patients must be able to swallow capsules whole
