Advanced Solid Tumors; Metastatic Colon Cancer; Metastatic Breast Cancer; Triple Negative Breast Cancer; HER2-negative Breast Cancer; Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Carcinoma; Rectal Cancer	Drug: Fruquintinib (HMPL-013)	Phase 1

Detailed Description:

The study is an open-label, dose escalation and expansion clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of fruquintinib in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study will consist of two phases:

Cohort B and Cohort C will evaluate the MTD/RP2D in metastatic colorectal cancer patients. Cohort D and Cohort E will evaluate the MTD/RP2D in metastatic breast cancer patients.

Study will be conducted in up to 9 sites in the US.
