13. Adequate renal function as demonstrated by creatinine level ≤1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance (measured or calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula) ≥ 50mL/min
14. Acceptable coagulation profile (PT or INR, PTT < 1.5 x ULN)
15. If of reproductive capacity, willing to use an effective double barrier method of birth control (i.e., latex condom, diaphragm, cervical cap, etc) during the study and for 30 days after the last administration of G-202

17. Agree to adhere to the study visit schedule
|

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |

The following must be discontinued and cannot be taken within 4 weeks of study entry: 5α-reductase inhibitors (e.g., finasteride, dutasteride), ketoconazole (if given for more than 7 days), aminoglutethimide, megestrol, diethylstilbestrol (DES), abiraterone acetate, MDV3100 (enzalutamide), TAK700, sipuleucel-T. Replacement doses of glucocorticoids are allowed; but chronic daily use of glucocorticoids for prostate cancer is not allowed
3. Treatment with therapeutic radionucleotides, such as strontium chloride (Sr89), samarium (Sm153) lexidronam pentasodium, or radium-223 within 12 weeks of study entry
4. Radiation therapy < 4 weeks before study entry or not recovered from side effects of prior radiotherapy
5. Known brain metastases (CT or MRI not required)
6. Documentation of keratosis follicularis, also known as Darier or Darier-White disease.
7. Known hypersensitivity to any study drug component, including thapsigargin derivatives, polysorbate 20 or propylene glycol.
8. Pre-existing cardiac condition:
- Documented myocardial infarction within 6 months of study entry
- Pre-existing cardiac failure (NYHA class III-IV)
- Atrial fibrillation on anti-coagulants (baby aspirin allowed)
- Unstable angina
- Severe valvulopathy causing significant symptoms of heart failure (class III-IV)
- Cardiac angioplasty or stenting within the last 6 months
9. Requirement for use of inhibitors or inducers of cytochrome (CYP3A4) iso-enzymes as described in Appendix IV.
10. Chronic use of moderate or strong opioids for cancer-related pain
11. The patient has a QTc value > 470 msec (Appendix V)
12. Evidence of serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric or other condition (including laboratory abnormalities) that could interfere with patient safety or provision of informed consent to participate in this study
13. Active uncontrolled infection, including known history of AIDS, hepatitis B or C
14. Proteinuria level > +2 on urine analysis
15. Any psychological condition or geographical situation that could potentially interfere with compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule.
16. The patient is or is expected to be concurrently receiving any other investigational agents while on study
