Inclusion criteria

Age ≥ 12 years and weight ≥ 40 kg.
Diagnosis of advanced or recurrent, histologically or cytologically confirmed, solid malignancy that is either metastatic or unresectable. At time of enrollment, subjects must have progressed on, be intolerant of, refuse, or ineligible for, all available standard of care therapies.
Subjects must demonstrate measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1, with the exception of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who should have progression based on the PCWG 3.0 criteria
Karnofsky ≥70% for over ≥16 years old and Lansky ≥70% for under 16 years old, equivalent to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade 0 or 1
Willingness to provide tumor biopsies of assessible lesions on and off treatment (Dose expansion cohort only). Optional for patients <18 years of age.
Able to swallow and retain orally administered medication.
Patients must have normal organ and marrow function
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion criteria

Subjects with Ewing Sarcoma. See NCT03600649, Protocol Number: SALA-002-EW16.
Subjects with primary central nervous system tumors
Patients who have not recovered to grade 1 or baseline from adverse events related to prior therapy excluding lymphopenia, alopecia, peripheral neuropathy and ototoxicity, which are excluded if ≥ CTCAE grade 3 (Version 5.0).
Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents.
Prior therapy with LSD1 targeted agents including monoamine oxidases for cancer therapy.
Prior systemic anti-cancer treatment (chemotherapy, biologic therapy [ie. small molecular inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies]) within 21 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.
Prior therapy with immunotherapy such as a checkpoint inhibitor, cellular therapy or vaccine therapy within 28 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. Patients must have recovered from any immune-related adverse events to grade 1 or baseline and require ≤ 10 mg of prednisone equivalents daily. Patients with immune-related hypothyroidism and/or hypoadrenalism may enroll while on thyroid or hydrocortisone replacement therapy, respectively.
Prior small port palliative radiotherapy within 14 days or 42 days from definitive local control radiation (any dose greater than 50Gy).
Anti-androgen therapies for prostate cancer, such as bicalutamide, within 4 weeks prior to enrollment. Second-line hormone therapies such as enzalutamide, abiraterone, or orteronel within 2 weeks prior to enrolment. Subjects with prostate cancer should remain on luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists or antagonists. Subjects with prostate cancer may also remain on low-dose prednisone or prednisolone up to 10 mg/day
Prior therapy with long acting myeloid growth factor within 14 days or 7 days from a short acting myeloid growth factor.
Participation in a prior investigational study within 30 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.
Patients with progressive or symptomatic brain metastases. Patients with brain metastases may be included in this trial as long as the brain metastases have received definitive treatment and are stable (i.e., no evidence of progression). The brain metastases must be stable for a minimum of 6 weeks.
Patients must have discontinued anti-seizure medications and steroids, except for physiologic steroid dosing (≤10 mg/day of prednisone equivalents).
Patients currently receiving any of the following substances and cannot be discontinued 14 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1: Moderate or strong inhibitors or inducers of major CYP isoenzymes, including grapefruit, grapefruit hybrids, pomelos, star-fruit, and Seville oranges; Moderate or strong inhibitors or inducers of major drug transporters; Substrates of CYP3A4/5 with a narrow therapeutic index
Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to: ongoing or active infection; transfusion dependent thrombocytopenia or anemia; psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac repolarization abnormality, including any of the following: symptomatic congestive heart failure; Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≤ 50%; unstable angina pectoris or cardiac arrhythmia; baseline QTcF (Fridericia) ≥ 450 milliseconds; Long QT syndrome or family history of idiopathic sudden death or congenital long QT syndrome
Any major surgery within 21 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women
Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation.
HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with SP-2577. In addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy.
