POTENTIATE
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to find out if an experimental drug called BBI-355 (the study drug) is a safe and effective option for people with solid tumor forms of cancer. We also want to know the best dosing strategy for the drug. We plan to have later parts of this study that will look at how the study drug works when it is given with other cancer drugs.

- 2) 2 days on/5 days off: daily doses of the study drug for 2 days in a row followed by 5 days of no dosing, which is repeated weekly during each cycle
- 3) Days 1 and 3 dosing: once daily dosing of the study drug on days 1 and 3 each week, which is repeated weekly during each cycle
- 4) 3 days on/11 days off: daily doses of the study drug for three days in a row followed by eleven days of no dosing, which is repeated weekly during each cycle
- 5) Once per week: 1 dose of the study drug per week
The study drug is a table that you take by mouth.
