Evidence or suspicion of disease metastatic to sites remote from supratentorial brain 3. Prior treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs other than bevacizumab 4. Prior treatment with tyrosine-kinase inhibitors targeting VEGF, platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin-like and epidermal growth factor-like domains 2 (TIE-2), or angiopoietin (or their receptors) 5. Prior treatment with histone deacetylase inhibitors or mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors 6. Prior treatment with TPI 287 7. Treatment with Enzyme-Inducing Anti-Epileptic Drugs within 2 weeks prior to Day 1 8. Treatment with drugs or herbal supplements known to be strong inhibitors/inducers of cytochrome P450 3A4 or 2C8 within 2 weeks prior to Day 1 9. Received more than one course of radiation therapy or more than a total dose of 65 Gy. May have received radiosurgery as part of initial therapy; however, dose counts against total dose limit. 10. Prior taxane, vincristine, or other microtubule inhibitor chemotherapies for treatment of GBM or other malignancy 11. Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day 1 or anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during course of study 12. Core biopsy or other minor surgical procedure, excluding placement of a vascular access device, within 7 days prior to Day 1 13. Any condition, including the presence of clinically significant laboratory abnormalities, which places subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in study or confounds the ability to interpret data from study, including: 1. Active infection including known AIDS or Hepatitis C or with a fever ≥38.5°C within 3 days prior to study enrollment 2. Diseases or conditions that obscure toxicity or dangerously alter drug metabolism 3. Serious intercurrent medical illness (e.g., symptomatic congestive heart failure) 14. Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent subject from providing informed consent 15. Inadequately controlled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure \>140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \> 90 mmHg) 16. Prior history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy 17. New York Heart Association Grade II or greater congestive heart failure 18. History of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months prior to Day 1 19. History of stroke or transient ischemic attack within 6 months prior to Day 1 20. Significant vascular disease (e.g., aortic aneurysm, requiring surgical repair or recent peripheral arterial thrombosis) within 6 months prior to Day 1 21.
