An Umbrella Study to Evaluate MLN1117 in Combination With Taxanes (Docetaxel or Paclitaxel) and Other Investigational Anticancer Agents for the Treatment of Patients With Previously Treated Advanced and Metastatic Gastric and Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended
Part 2 dose, safety and efficacy of MLN1117 (TAK-117) in combination with docetaxel,
paclitaxel, investigational TAK-659 or investigational alisertib in adult participants with
advanced and metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. The study consists of a
dose escalation phase (Part 1) and a dose expansion phase (Part 2).

This study will look at the dose-limiting toxicity and response to treatment in participants
who take MLN1117 in combination with TAK-659, paclitaxel or docetaxel or investigational
TAK-659 or investigational alisertib.

The study will enroll approximately 60 participants in the dose escalation phase (Part 1)
and 118 participants in the dose expansion phase (Part 2). Participants will be randomly
assigned to 1 of the 4 treatment groups:

- MLN1117 + TAK-659

- MLN1117 + alisertib

- MLN1117 + paclitaxel

- MLN1117 + docetaxel

In Part 1, dose of MLN1117 will be increased step by step. All participants will be asked to
take tablets of MLN1117 for 3 days on and 4 days off per week in 28-day treatment cycles or
21-day treatment cycles when given in combination with the other companion drugs.

This multi-centre trial will be conducted worldwide.

values within 14 days before enrollment:

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5x10^9/L.

- Platelet count ≥100x10^9/L.

- Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (Transfusions are allowed to reach this hemoglobin level).

4. Female participants who:

- Are postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, OR

- Are surgically sterile, OR

- If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 1 highly effective
method and 1 additional effective (barrier) method of contraception at the same
time, from the time of signing the informed consent form through 30 days after
the last dose of study drug (with the exception of those participants assigned
to TAK-659, for whom the duration required is 180 days), or for as long as
mandated by local labeling for docetaxel and paclitaxel, OR

- Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and
usual lifestyle of the participant, from the time of signing the informed
consent form through 30 days after the last dose of study drug (with the
exception of those participants assigned to TAK-659, for whom the duration
required is 180 days), or for as long as mandated by local labeling for
docetaxel and paclitaxel. (Periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation,
symptothermal, postovulation methods], withdrawal, spermicides only, and
lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female and
male condoms should not be used together.)

Male participants, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status postvasectomy), who:

- Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study
treatment period and through 120 days after the last dose of study drug (with
the exception of those participants assigned to TAK-659, for whom the duration
required is 180 days), or for as long as mandated by local labeling for
docetaxel and paclitaxel, OR

- Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and
usual lifestyle of the participant during the entire study treatment period and
through 120 days after the last dose of study drug (with the exception of those
participants assigned to TAK-659, for whom the duration required is 180 days) or
for as long as mandated by local labeling for docetaxel and paclitaxel.
(Periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation
methods for the female partner] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of
contraception.)

5. Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study-related
procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may
be withdrawn by the participant at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

6. Has suitable venous access for the study-required blood sampling (ie, pharmacokinetic
(PK) sampling, circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA]).

Part 1 only

1. Has a histologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced solid tumor, including but not
limited to gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
