Adequate blood counts with a hemoglobin (Hgb) of ≥9.0 mg/dL, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1,500/mm3, and platelets ≥100,000/mm3 (all without transfusion support);
Subjects who are willing and able to provide written informed consent.

In the expanded cohort at the MTD only: Subjects must be willing to undergo mandatory biopsies of tumor tissue twice during the first cycle (before and during dosing) and must have tumor tissue in a location accessible to incisional biopsy of a superficial lesion or percutaneous core needle biopsy on an outpatient basis without undue risk to the subject.

Have received any investigational interventional agents within the 4 weeks prior to the start of dosing with ZSTK474;
Are receiving concurrent anti-tumor chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy - or have received any of these non-investigational agents within the previous 4 weeks or 5-half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the start of dosing with ZSTK474;
