A Phase Ib Study of the Combination of MLN0128 (Dual TORC1/2 Inhibitor) and MLN8237 (Aurora A Inhibitor, Alisertib) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors With an Expansion Cohort in Metastatic Triple-negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)

This is a phase Ib study designed to evaluate the safety and toxicity of the combination of
Alisertib and MLN0128 in patients with advanced solid tumors with an expansion cohort in
patients with previously treated metastatic TNBC.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combination of Alisertib and MLN0128 in patients
with advanced solid tumors refractory to standard treatment followed by an expansion cohort
of patients with metastatic TNBC with exploratory correlative studies.

Inclusion Criteria:

Each patient must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the study:

1. Male or female patients 18 years or older.

2. Dose Escalation Cohort: Patients must have a diagnosis of a histologically confirmed
solid tumor that is incurable and refractory to standard therapy or for which no
standard therapy exists.

3. Dose Expansion Cohort Group 1 and 2: Patients must have a diagnosis of histologically
confirmed metastatic TNBC defined as negative for estrogen receptor, progesterone
receptor and HER2. Patients must have received either adjuvant or first line
chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Negative for Estrogen and Progesterone Receptor
includes the following:

- Local Pathology report classifies them as negative

- Allred Score of 2 or below

- <1% positive staining Subjects with solid tumor types other than TNBC may also be
enrolled after discussion with the Sponsor. These subjects must have a diagnosis
of a histologically confimed solid tumor that is incurable and refractory to
standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists.

4. Pancreatic Cancer Cohort: Patients must have a diagnosis of locally advanced or
metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma previously treated with or not a candidate for
standard of care systemic therapy. Dose Expansion Cohort Group 1 and 2: At least one
tumor lesion amenable to repeat core needle biopsy or punch biopsy without
unacceptable risk of a major procedural complication.

5. Dose Expansion Cohort Group 1 and 2: At least one tumor lesion amenable to repeat core
needle biopsy or punch biopsy without unacceptable risk of a major procedural
complication.

6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status < 1 (See Appendix 1)

7. Three weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) from previous systemic anticancer
therapy; at least 4 weeks from major surgery and recovered; at least 2 weeks from
palliative radiation and recovered. No more than 450 mg/m2 cumulative dose of
doxorubicin or equivalent anthracycline dose is allowed.

8. All acute treatment-related toxicities from prior therapy must have resolved to Grade
< 1 prior to study entry excluding alopecia.

9. For women:

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

- Surgically sterile, OR

- If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of
contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing the informed consent
through 90 days after the last dose of study drug OR agree to practice true
abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the
patient (Periodic abstinence [e.g, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal,
postovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of
contraception.

For men, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status post-vasectomy), they must:

- Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study
treatment period and through 120 days after the last dose of study drug, OR agree
to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual
lifestyle of the patient (Periodic abstinence [e.g, calendar, ovulation,
symptothermal, postovulation methods for the female partner] and withdrawal are
not acceptable methods of contraception

- Agree not to donate sperm during the course of this study or 120 days after
receiving their last dose of study drug

10. Screening clinical laboratory values as specified below:

1. Bone marrow reserve consistent with: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x
109/L; platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L; hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL. Values must be obtained
without the need for myeloid growth factor support, platelet or PRBC transfusion
support within 14 days.

2. Hepatic: total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), transaminases
(aspartate aminotransferase/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase-AST/SGOT and
alanine aminotransferase/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase-ALT/SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x
ULN (≤ 5 x ULN if liver metastases are present);

3. Renal: Creatinine < 1.5 X ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min based either on
Cockroft-Gault estimate or based on urine collection (12 or 24 hour)(Appendix 2);

4. Metabolic: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c)<7.0%, fasting serum glucose (≤ 130
mg/dL) and fasting triglycerides ≤ 300 mg/dL;

5. For patients undergoing serial tumor biopsies, INR and activated partial
thromboplastin time (PTT) must be within 1.5 X the upper limit of normal.

11. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) > LLN of the institutional standard of
normal as measured by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multiple gated acquisition scan (MUGA)
within 4 weeks prior to first study drug administration.

12. Ability to swallow oral medications.

13. 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 patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

14. Patients who have a history of brain metastasis are eligible for the study provided
that all the following criteria are met:

1. Brain metastases which have been treated

2. No evidence of disease progression for ≥ 4 weeks or hemorrhage after treatment
