Experimental Treatment
Group I: CB-839 + capecitabineExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients will receive CB-839 orally twice daily for 21 days (continuous administration) and capecitabine orally twice daily for 14/21 days. In the phase I portion of the study, patients will receive escalating doses of CB-839 and capecitabine and will have day 15 blood samples drawn and archived for as needed assessment of CB-839 pharmacokinetics. In the phase II portion of the study, patients will receiving 800mg CB-839 and 1000mg/m^2 capecitabine as were determined to be safe doses during the phase I portion of the study. They will also undergo pre-treatment and post-treatment blood samples and tissue biopsies for evaluation of pharmacodynamic biomarkers.
