Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Histopathologically-confirmed diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma (pleural or peritoneal). Must have disease that has relapsed following at least one prior line of chemotherapy.

2. Must have received at least 3 cycles of first-line chemotherapy.

3. Evaluable or measurable disease as assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

4. Must have archival tumor tissue available for biomarker analysis. A study-specific tumor core biopsy, pleural effusion or ascites sample must be obtained prior to treatment if archival tissue is not available.

5. Performance status according to the Karnofsky Performance Scale ≥70%.

6. Fasting blood glucose of ≤ 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L).

7. Adequate renal function (creatinine ≤ 1.5x upper limit of normal [ULN]) and/or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of ≥50 mL/min.

8. Adequate hepatic function (total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x ULN; AST and ALT ≤ 3x ULN).

9. Adequate bone marrow function (hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL; platelets ≥100 x10^9 cells/L; absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5x10^9 cells/L) without the use of hematopoietic growth factors.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Have had a previous extra pleural pneumonectomy (EPP).

2. Gastrointestinal condition which could interfere with the swallowing or absorption of study drug.

3. Uncontrolled or severe concurrent medical condition (including uncontrolled brain metastases).

4. Known history of stroke or cerebrovascular accident within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug.

5. Any evidence of serious active infection.

6. Undergoing active treatment for a secondary malignancy.

7. Cancer-directed therapy (chemotherapy, radiotherapy) within 21 days of the first dose of study drug or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter.

8. Major surgery within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug.

9. Acute or chronic pancreatitis.

10. Diabetes mellitus requiring insulin treatment or subjects with a hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) >7%.

11. History or evidence of cardiac risk.

12. Known history of malignant hypertension.
