EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women, or women of childbearing potential unless highly effective contraception is used
- Untreated and multiple brain metastases
- Clinically significant cardiovascular event within 6 months before study entry to include: a) congestive heart failure requiring therapy, b) unstable angina pectoris, c) myocardial infarction, d) class II/III/IV cardiac disease (New York Heart Association), e) presence of severe valvular heart disease, f) presence of ventricular arrhythmia requiring treatment
- History of arrhythmia that is symptomatic or requires treatment (CTCAE 3), symptomatic or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation, despite treatment, or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia. Subjects with atrial fibrillation controlled by medication are permitted.
- Uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure ≥160/100 despite optimal therapy)
- Second or third degree heart block with or without symptoms
- QTc >450msec in adult male and >470 msec in adult females (by Fridericia's correction) not due to electrolyte abnormality and that does not resolve with correction of electrolytes.

- Trachea-oesophageal fistula or invasion of the tracheo-bronchial tree
- Treatment with any other investigational agent, or participation in another clinical trial within 28 days prior to the start of treatment
- Strong CYP3A inhibitors and inducers or haemopoietic growth factors within 14 days before first dose of M6620 (Berzosertib)

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Stage A1, A2 & B
The trial is a single arm study. Different populations are recruited to each stage and the stages run independently of each other. Stage A1 & A2 will commence before Stage B so that safety data can be obtained in the palliative setting prior to Stage B commencing. Stage A1 may be ongoing when Stage B begins. Each Stage has a separate eligibility criteria. Stage A1: M6620 & palliative radiotherapy Stage A2: M6620 & palliative chemotherapy (Cisplatin & Capecitabine) Stage B: M6620 & definitive chemoradiotherapy
