- Patients must have accessible tumor that is safely amenable to tumor biopsies.

- Measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors

- Tumor imageable by DCE-MRI preferably > 3cm in abdomen, pelvis, head/neck or

performance status 0 to 1

- Male or female patients of child-producing potential must agree to use contraception
or avoidance of pregnancy measures during the study and for 30 days after the last
ARQ 197 dose

- Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test

- Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of
normal (ULN) or ≤ 5.0 × ULN with metastatic liver disease

The following inclusion criteria apply to patients with prostate cancer only:

- Histologically documented adenocarcinoma of the prostate, clinically refractory or
resistant to hormone therapy, as documented by progression following castration

- PSA or radiological evidence for progressive prostate cancer

- Ongoing gonadal androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH analogues or orchiectomy.
Patients who have not had an orchiectomy must be maintained on effective LHRH

congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, significant
pulmonary disease (shortness of breath at rest or mild exertion), uncontrolled
infection or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements

- For patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies (including DCE-MRI
and DW-MRI) in the expanded cohort:

- Contraindications to MRI, e.g. contraindicated metal implants

- Patients with Creatinine > x1 ULN
