IHC results do not have to be from MSK.
Measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1. Measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension. Each lesion must be ≥10mm when measured by CT or MRI. Lymph nodes must be ≥15mm in short axis when measured by CT or MRI
Patients must have had one prior chemotherapy regimen for management of disease. Note: additional lines of chemotherapy, biologic or immunotherapy are allowed.
Recovery from effects of recent surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy
At least 4 weeks out from their last dose of radiation therapy
At least 4 weeks post-op from any major surgical procedure
At least 3 weeks out from their last dose of chemotherapy and/or biologic/targeted therapy
Must be ≥ 18 years of age
Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of ≥ 70%
Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days prior to commencement of study treatment
Women of child bearing potential must use an effective form of contraception during study and for at least 6 months after completion of study treatment
Laboratory Test Findings performed within 14 days prior to initiation of study drug showing:

Bone marrow function:

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mcL
Platelets ≥ 75,000/mcL
Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL

Renal function:

°Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN

Hepatic function:

Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN
Resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior therapy to NCI CTCAE (Version 5.0) Grade ≤ 1, with the exception of unresolved Grade 2 neuropathy and Grade 2 alopecia, which are allowed
Patient has recovered from any prior radiotherapy
Patients must be able to swallow tablets whole, without crushing

Exclusion Criteria:

History of another invasive malignancy (other than non-melanoma skin cancer or curatively treated in situ carcinoma) with evidence of disease within the past 3 years
History of prior hormonal therapy (i.e., megesterol acetate, tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors) for treatment of cancer within 28 days before starting study drug
Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographic condition that would potentially hamper compliance with the study protocol
Known brain metastasis which have not been treated or showed stability for ≥ 6 months
Patient has received an oral or IV corticosteroid within the prior 28 days and requires chronic corticosteroid therapy (excludes use of steroid premeds for CT allergy)
Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic BP ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 95mmHg) despite medical treatment. Patients with a history of hypertension are allowed provided blood pressure is controlled by anti-hypertensive treatment.

Refractory nausea and vomiting, requirement for parenteral hydration and/or nutrition, drainage gastrostomy tube, malabsorption, external biliary shunt, or significant small bowel resection that would preclude adequate study drug absorption
Anticipated or ongoing administration of anti-cancer therapies other than those administered in this study
Use of any prescription medication during the prior 28 days of first onapristone dosing that the investigator judges is likely to interfere with onapristone activity; specifically strong inhibitors or inducers, or sensitive substrates of cytochrome P450 CYP3A4.
