- Signed written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Anti-cancer therapy including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, immunotherapy or use of other investigational agents within 3 weeks prior to start of therapy (or a longer period depending on the defined characteristics of the agents used e.g. 6 weeks for mitomycin ornitrosourea). Patient may continue the use of tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitor and LHRH agonists for cancer; bisphosphonates for bone disease and corticosteroids. The use of denosumab for bone disease is not allowed.
- Major surgery within two weeks of starting study treatment.
- Participation in other trial with investigational drug or treatment modality
- Patients with symptomatic uncontrolled brain metastases. A scan to confirm the absence of brain metastases is not required.
- Prior ipsilateral radiotherapy to the chest or breast.
- Blood transfusion in the four weeks prior to study entry
- Persistent toxicities (CTC ≥ grade 2) with the exception of alopecia, caused by previous cancer therapy
- QT-interval > 470 msec
Significant cardiovascular disease as defined by
- History of congestive heart failure defined as NYHA class III
- History of unstable angina pectoris or myocardial infarction up to 3 months prior to trial entry;
- Presence of severe valvular heart disease
- Presence of a ventricular arrhythmia requiring treatment;

- non-malignant systemic disease
- active, uncontrolled infection requiring parenteral antibiotics
a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder; examples include, but are not limited to:
- uncontrolled major seizure disorder
- unstable spinal cord compression
- superior vena cava syndrome
- extensive bilateral lung disease on HRCT scan
- any psychiatric disorder that prohibits obtaining informed consent.
- Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule.
- Patients who are known to be serologically positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and are receiving antiviral therapy.
- Patients with known active hepatic disease (i.e. Hepatitis B or C)
- Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukaemia or features suggestive of MDS/AML on peripheral blood smear.
- Gastrointestinal disorders that may interfere with absorption of the study drug or patients who are not able to take oral medication
Concomitant medications:
