7. A representative tumor specimen must be available for molecular testing. An archival tu-mor sample may be submitted (<6 months); however, if one is not available, a newly obtained tumor biopsy specimen must be submitted instead

8. Measurable disease according to RECIST1.1

9. Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing central nervous system (CNS) metasta-ses are not eligible. Patients with a history of treated CNS lesions are eligible, provided all of the following criteria are met:

1. Measurable or non-measurable disease, per RECIST v. 1.1, must be present outside the CNS

2. No history of intracranial haemorrhage or spinal cord haemorrhage

3. Metastases are limited to the cerebellum or the supratentorial region (i.e., no metasta-ses to the midbrain, pons, medulla, or spinal cord).

4. There is no evidence of interim progression between completion of CNS-directed ther-apy and the screening brain scan.

5. The patient has not received stereotactic radiotherapy within 7 days prior to initiation of study treatment or whole-brain radiotherapy within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment.

6. The patient has no ongoing requirement for corticosteroids as therapy for CNS disease. Anticonvulsant therapy at a stable dose is permitted.

Asymptomatic patients with CNS metastases newly detected at screening are eligible for the study after receiving radiotherapy or surgery, with no need to repeat the screening brain scan.

Adequate hepatic function : total serum bilirubin ≤ 1x ULN, or total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 x ULN with direct bilirubin within normal range in patients with well documented Gilbert's Syndrome, ALAT and ASAT ≤ 1.5 x ULN

14. Adequate renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 60mL/min 15. Adequate ionic balance: potassium, calcium (corrected for serum albumin), magnesium, sodium and phosphorus within normal limits for the institution 16. Participant must have normal blood pressure or adequately treated and controlled hyperten-sion17. A female participant is eligible if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:

• Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) OR

• Is a WOCBP and must agree to use a highly effective contraceptive method (described in 6.6.2) while on treatment and for at least 180 days after study drugs discontinuation.

18. A WOCBP must have a negative pregnancy test (highly sensitive urine test or serum test as required by local regulations) within 72 hours before the first dose of study treatment.

19. Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the interven-tion period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study treatment:

• Refrain from donating sperm

• Must agree to use a male condom (and should also be advised of the benefit for a female partner to use a highly effective method of contraception as a condom may break or leak) 20. Patient must be affiliated to a Social Security system 21. Patient information and written informed consent form signed 22. Must be able to swallow and retain orally administered study treatment. 23. For expansion cohort: inclusion will be done regarding availability of homologous recom-bination status

Exclusion Criteria:

2. Patient has a Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency (DPD)

3. Patients must not have received anticancer chemotherapy, targeted therapy within 2 weeks prior of the study. Endocrine therapy must have been discontinued 7 or more days before Cycle 1 Day 1. Participant must not have had investigational therapy administered within 4 weeks or with-in a time interval less than at least 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is longer, prior to the first scheduled day of dosing in this study.

4. Palliative radiotherapy must have been completed 14 or more days before Cycle 1 Day 1. Biphosphonates and denosumab are allowed.

5. Major surgery within 3 weeks prior to registration. Patients must have recovered from earlier major surgery before registration.

6. Persistent toxicities (≥NCI-CTCAE grade 2) caused by previous cancer therapy, excluding alopecia and NCI-CTCAE grade 2 peripheral neuropathy.

7. Immunocompromised patients (e.g. HIV) for part I and but patients with well controlled HIV could be included in part II (negative viral load)
