Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Part A: Monotherapy (BOS172722); BOS172722 will be administered on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each 28-day cycles in participants with histopathologically confirmed advanced nonhaematologic malignancies.	Drug: BOS172722; Oral capsules
Experimental: Part A: Combination therapy (BOS172722 + Paclitaxel); BOS172722 will be administered on Cycle 0 Day 1 and on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 in Cycle 1 and subsequent 28-day cycles in participants with histopathologically confirmed advanced nonhaematologic malignancies. The participants will also receive 80 milligrams per meters squared (mg/m^2) paclitaxel as an intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. During dose escalation, further exploration of the treatment schedule for the BOS172722-paclitaxel combination will be initiated. In such combination cohorts, BOS172722 will be administered with paclitaxel on Days 1, 8, and 15 only of each treatment cycle (except for Cycle 2 Day1), and will not be administered on Day 2, 9, and 16. These alternative schedules will be explored to further characterize the pharmacokinetics and tolerability of such a dosing regimen.	Drug: BOS172722; Oral capsules; Drug: Paclitaxel; IV infusion
Experimental: Part B: Combination therapy (BOS172722 + Paclitaxel); Participants with triple-negative breast cancer will be treated with oral BOS172722 at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) established in Part A on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each 28-day cycle and IV paclitaxel at 80 mg/m^2 on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle.	Drug: BOS172722; Oral capsules; Drug: Paclitaxel; IV infusion

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Incidence of adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: a minimum of approximately 3 months ]
   An AE is any untoward medical occurrence and does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product (IP), whether or not related to the IP. AEs include pre-existing conditions that worsen.
2. Number of participants with a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 (28 days) ]
   A DLT is defined as any toxicity attributable to BOS172722 that occurs before the end of Cycle 1.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Part A Monotherapy: Plasma concentration of BOS172722 measured over 24 hours when administered alone [ Time Frame: Cycle 1: Day 1 ]
   The plasma concentration of BOS172722 when administered as monotherapy will be characterized
2. Part A Combination: Plasma concentration of BOS172722 and paclitaxel measured over 24 hours when administered either individually or in combination [ Time Frame: Cycle 0: Day 1; Cycle 1: Day 1; Cycle 2: Day 1 ]
   The plasma concentration of BOS172722 and paclitaxel will be characterized.
3. Part B Expansion: Plasma concentration of BOS172722 and paclitaxel measured over 24 hours when administered in combination [ Time Frame: Cycle 1: Days 1 and 8 or 15 ]
   The plasma concentration of BOS172722 and paclitaxel will be characterized.
4. Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: a minimum of approximately 3 months ]
   ORR is defined as the percentage of participants achieving the best overall response of confirmed partial response (PR) or complete response (CR), as determined by investigator review. Responses are assessed by the Investigators using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) guideline version 1.1.
5. Duration of response (DOR) [ Time Frame: a minimum of approximately 3 months ]
   DOR is defined as the time from documentation of tumor response to disease progression. Responses are assessed by the Investigators using RECIST guideline version 1.1.
6. Time to response (TTR) [ Time Frame: a minimum of approximately 3 months ]
   TTR is defined as the time from the start of treatment to the first objective tumor response observed for participants who achieved a CR or PR. Responses are assessed by the Investigators using RECIST guideline version 1.1.
7. Time to progression on study [ Time Frame: a minimum of approximately 3 months ]
   Time to progression is defined as the time from treatment until objective tumor progression. This does not include deaths. Responses are assessed by the Investigators using RECIST guideline version 1.1.
