             progressed after receiving approved therapies for their disease and for whom no
             effective therapies are available.

          2. Surgery and radiotherapy must have been completed at least four weeks prior to study
             entry, and prior chemotherapy and other anti-cancer therapy, excluding bisphosphonates
             at a steady dose level, must have been discontinued 2 to 3 weeks previously. All acute
             toxicities related to these treatments must have resolved.

          3. Aged ≥ 18 years

          4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1.

          5. Written informed consent prior to any study specific screening procedures, which will
             include mandatory consent to provide a blood sample specifically for pharmacogenomic
             analysis, with the understanding that the patient may withdraw consent at any time
             without prejudice. Tumor biopsy for pharmacogenomic (PG) analysis will be voluntary.

          6. Willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study.

          7. Anticipated life expectancy > three months.

        EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

        Patients with the following characteristics will not be eligible for the study.

          1. Symptomatic or progressive brain tumors or brain or leptomeningeal (CNS) metastases
             requiring clinical intervention, except if they have completed local therapy and have
             discontinued the use of corticosteroids for this indication for at least two weeks
             before starting treatment with E7107.

          2. Any of the following laboratory parameters:

               1. hemoglobin < 9 g/dL (5.6 mM)

               3. platelets < 100 x 10^9/L

               4. serum bilirubin > 25 μM (1.5 mg/dL)

               5. liver function tests (defined as AST and ALT) with values > 3 x ULN (5 x ULN if
                  liver metastases are present)

             severe/uncontrolled intercurrent illness or infection.

          4. Clinically significant cardiac impairment or unstable ischemic heart disease (greater

          6. History of alcoholism, drug addiction, or any psychiatric or psychological condition
             which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would impair study compliance.

          7. Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Women of childbearing potential with either
             a positive serum pregnancy test at screening, a positive urine pregnancy test at the
             beginning of any cycle, or no pregnancy test. Women of childbearing potential unless

          9. Patients with a marked screening or baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval using the
             Fridericia formula (ie, repeated demonstration of a QTc interval > 450 msec); a
             history of additional risk factors for Torsade de Pointe (e.g., heart failure,
             hypokalaemia, history of Long QT Syndrome).

         10. Patients who have had radiation to >= 25% of their bone marrow (e.g., pelvic
             radiation).
