The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of combining a drug called ipatasertib with the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel in people who have advanced cancer and whose cancer has a change in genes called PTEN or AKT. Participants in this study have had progression of cancer after previous treatments. Researchers want to learn whether adding ipatasertib to paclitaxel can help shrink or control solid tumors that have PTEN or AKT gene mutations. Paclitaxel has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat many types of cancers, but its use in this study with ipatasertib is experimental. Ipatasertib works by inhibiting the AKT protein, which is often overactivated in cancer. Previous studies have shown that ipatasertib shrinks cancers with mutations in the PTEN/AKT genes. Participants will receive paclitaxel and ipatasertib.
