Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Male or female participants 18 years of age or older.

          2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic and/or advanced solid tumors or
             lymphomas for which standard curative or life-prolonging treatment does not exist or
             is no longer effective or tolerable.

          3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2.

          4. Female participants who:

               -  Are post-menopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, OR

               -  Are surgically sterile, OR

               -  If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of
                  contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing the informed consent
                  through 30 days after the last dose of study drug, or agree to practice true
                  abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the
                  participant (periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal,
                  postovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of
                  contraception).

          5. Male participants, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status postvasectomy), who:

               -  Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study
                  treatment period and through 4 months after the last dose of study drug, or

               -  Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and
                  usual lifestyle of the participant (periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation,
                  symptothermal, postovulation methods for the female partner] and withdrawal are
                  not acceptable methods of contraception).

          6. Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study-related
             procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may
             be withdrawn by the participant at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

          7. Suitable venous access for the study-required blood sampling, including
             pharmacokinetics.

          8. Ability to swallow tablets.

          9. Participants with biliary obstruction for which a stent had been placed are eligible
             provided that the stent has been in place for more than 14 days before the first dose
             of alisertib and liver function has stabilized.
