To Assess the Effect of Rifampicin on the Pharmacokinetics of Eribulin Mesylate in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors that have progressed following standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists (including surgery or radiation therapy) 2. Resolution of all chemotherapy or radiation-related toxicities to Grade 1 severity or lower, except for stable sensory neuropathy and alopecia Grade 2 3. Age greater than or equal to 18 years 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2 5. Life expectancy of greater than or equal to 3 months 6. Adequate renal function as evidenced by serum creatinine less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dL (less than or equal to 176 umol/L) or calculated creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 40 mL/minute per the Cockcroft and Gault formula 7. Adequate liver function as evidenced by bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) less than or equal to 3 times the ULN (in the case of liver metastasis less than or equal to 5 times ULN). In the case ALP greater than 3 times the ULN (in the absence of liver metastasis) or greater than 5 times the ULN (in the presence of liver metastasis), and the participant was also known to have bone metastasis, the liver specific ALP were separated from the total and used to assess the liver function instead of the total ALP 8. Adequate bone marrow function as evidenced by absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1.5 x 109/L, hemoglobin greater than or equal to 10.0 g/dL or greater than or equal to 6.2 mmol/L (hemoglobin less than 10.0 g/dL or less than 6.2 mmol/L were acceptable if it were corrected by growth factor or transfusion), and platelets greater than or equal to 100 x 109/L 9. Participants were willing and able to comply with the study protocol for the duration of the study 10. Written informed consent were obtained prior to any study-specific screening procedures with the understanding that the participant may withdraw consent at any time without prejudice 11. Females of childbearing potential with a negative serum beta-Human chorionic gonadotropin or a negative urine pregnancy test at Visit 1 (Screening) and prior to starting study drug(s) (Visit 3). Female participants of childbearing potential who agreed to be abstinent or to use a highly effective method of contraception (eg, condom + spermicide, condom + diaphragm with spermicide, intrauterine device \[IUD\], or have a vasectomised partner) starting prior to starting study drug, throughout the entire study period and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Those women using hormonal contraceptives must also have used an additional approved method of contraception (as described previously). Perimenopausal women must be amenorrheic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential 12. Male participants who were not abstinent or have not undergone a successful vasectomy, who were partners of women of childbearing potential must have used, or their partners must have used a highly effective method of contraception (eg, condom + spermicide, condom + diaphragm with spermicide, IUD) starting prior to starting study drug(s) and throughout the entire study period and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Those with partners using hormonal contraceptives must also have used an additional approved method of contraception (as described previously) Exclusion Criteria: 1. Hypersensitivity to halichondrin B and/or halichondrin B chemical derivatives or a hypersensitivity to rifampicin 2. Prior participation in an eribulin clinical study, even if not previously assigned to eribulin treatment 3. Preexisting neuropathy greater than Grade 2 4. Any of the following treatments within the specified period before eribulin treatment starts: 1. chemotherapy, radiation or biological therapy within 2 weeks, 2. hormonal therapy within 1 week with the exception of prostate cancer patients who are on medical castration with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog, 3. any investigational drug within 4 weeks 5. Any medication, dietary supplements or other compounds or substances known to induce or inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity at the time the study starts 6. Presence of impaired intestinal absorption 7. Significant cardiovascular impairment such as history of congestive heart failure greater than Grade II (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\]), unstable angina or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months, or serious cardiac arrhythmia 8. Clinically significant electrocardiograms (ECGs) abnormality, including a marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (eg, repeated demonstration of a QTc interval greater than 500 msec) 9. Known positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status 10. Brain or subdural metastases, unless they had completed local therapy and had discontinued the use of corticosteroids for this indication for at least 4 weeks before starting treatment with eribulin 11. Presence of meningeal carcinomatosis 12. Any history of or concomitant medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, that would have compromise the participant's ability to safely complete the study
