Provision of tumor sample (from either a resection or biopsy): however this criteria is optional for this study (i.e. if no biopsy sample available, not an exclusion criteria). 5. Patients are willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations. Especially, patients must fast (water to drink only) from at least 2 hours prior to taking a dose to at least 1 hour post-dose for all doses. 6. ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status 0-1 7. Patients must have a life expectancy = 3 months from proposed first dose date. 8. At least one measurable lesion that can be accurately assessed by imaging at baseline and following up visits. 9. Negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 28 days of study treatment, confirmed prior to treatment. Patients of child-bearing potential should be using adequate contraceptive measures (two forms of highly reliable methods) should not be breast feeding and must have a negative pregnancy test prior to start of dosing.or Patients must have evidence of non-child-bearing potential by fulfilling one of the following criteria at screening: -?Post-menopausal – defined as aged more than 50 years and amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments. -?Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilisation by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy, but not tubal ligation - Amenorrhoeic for 12 months and serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH),luteinizing hormone (LH) and plasma oestradiol levels in the postmenopausal range for the institution 10. Male patients must be willing to use barrier contraception for the duration of the study and: - for one week after the last dose of study drug if the sexual partner is not of child bearing potential -for 6 months after last dose of study drug and in combination with a highly reliable contraceptive method for sexual partners of child-bearing potential 11. Male patients must be willing to not donate sperm for the duration of study or up to 6 months after the last dose of study drug.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. More than four prior chemotherapy regimens (excluding adjuvant chemotherapy) for cancer treatment 2. Any previous treatment with ATR inhibitors (small molecules) 3. Any previous treatment with paclitaxel (docetaxel is allowed if in physician’s discretion, the tumor is not absolutely refractory to taxane) 4. Patients with second primary cancer, except: adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in-situ cancer of the cervix, or other solid tumours curatively treated with no evidence of disease for =5 years. 5. Patients unable to swallow orally administered medication. 6. Treatment with any investigational product during the last 14 days before the enrollment (or a longer period depending on the defined characteristics of the agents used). 7. Patients receiving any systemic chemotherapy, radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons), within 3 weeks from the last dose prior to study treatment (or a longer period depending on the defined characteristics of the agents used). The patient can receive a stable dose of bisphosphonates or denusomab for bone metastases, before and during the study as long as these were started at least 4 weeks prior to treatment. 8. - Concomitant use of known potent CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, indinavir, saquinavir, telithromycin, clarithromycin and nelfinavir. - Receiving, or having received, concomitant medications, herbal supplements and/or foods that significantly modulate CYP3A4 or Pgp activity (wash out periods of two weeks, but three weeks for St. John’s Wort). Note these include common azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics and other medications listed in Appendix I. 9.
