Study Treatment ArmExperimentalPhase 1b will determine the MTD of PAC-1 in combination with entrectinib. Study treatment will include: PAC-1 will be taken orally on Days 1-21 and Entrectinib will be taken orally on Days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle. Treatment will continue until disease progression (based on RECIST 1.1 criteria), unacceptable toxicity, subject withdrawal of informed consent, or subject death either from progression of disease, the therapy itself, or from other causes.

             Low-dose aspirin (<100 mg/day), low-dose warfarin (<1 mg/day) and prophylactic low
             molecular weight heparin (LMWH) or similar agent are permitted.

         14. Cardiovascular disorders including unstable angina pectoris, clinically-significant
             cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction or stroke (including transient ischemic

         20. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory
             abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study
             drug administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in
             the judgment of the Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into
             this study or could compromise protocol objectives in the opinion of the Investigator
             and/or the sponsor-investigator.
