7. The following time must have elapsed between previous therapy for cancer and first administration of tasquinimod:
* At least 2 weeks since previous systemic targeted therapy with small molecule inhibitors, which included any tyrosine-kinase inhibitor.
* At least 4 weeks since the last dose of systemic anti-cancer therapy other than targeted therapy, which included cytotoxic agents, monoclonal antibody therapy, immunotherapy and prior radiotherapy.
* At least 1 week since prior hormonal therapy.
* At least 3 months since prior interferon therapy.
8. Recovery to Grade 1 from the effects (excluding alopecia) of any prior therapy for their malignancies.
9. At least 4 weeks since any major surgery or open biopsy and 7 days since a core biopsy before first study treatment.
10. Adequate renal function:
* Creatinine ≤1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) or calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) using the Cockcroft Gault formula ≥60 mL/min, or CrCl ≥60 mL/min.
11. Adequate hepatic function:
\- Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 mg/dL (≤25 μmol/L) for ovarian carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma and gastric carcinoma, serum bilirubin ≤3 mg/dL (≤50 μmol/L) for hepatocellular carcinoma cohorts.
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 x ULN (≤5 x ULN if liver lesions were present i.e. liver metastasis or primary tumour of the liver for hepatocellular carcinoma cohort).
12. Adequate bone marrow function:
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 x 10\^9/L.
* Platelets ≥50 x 10\^9/L.
* Haemoglobin ≥90 g/L.
13. Adequate coagulation tests: international normalised ratio (INR) ≤1.5 x ULN.
14. Able to swallow capsules.
15. For women of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test must have been documented prior to first administration of study treatment.
16. For women who were not postmenopausal (12 months of amenorrhea) or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus): agreement to use adequate methods of contraception (e.g. hormonal implants, combined oral contraceptives, vasectomised partner), during the treatment period and for at least 3 months after the last dose of study treatment.
17. For men: agreement to use a barrier method of contraception during the treatment period and for at least 3 months after the last dose of study treatment.
Inclusion Criteria - Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cohort:
18. Histologically confirmed and documented hepatocellular carcinoma (excluding fibrolamellar carcinoma).
19. Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C or BCLC stage B not amenable to locoregional therapy or refractory to locoregional therapy.
20. Liver mass measuring at least 2 cm with characteristic vascularisation seen on either triphasic computed tomography (CT) scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with gadolinium.
21. At least one measurable or evaluable lesion that was viable (i.e. vascularised), and had not been previously treated with locoregional therapy. A lesion that had been previously treated qualified as a measurable or evaluable lesion if there was demonstrable progression following locoregional therapy.
22. Child-Pugh A Class only.
23. Previously treated with sorafenib. Patients may have experienced radiographically documented disease progression during sorafenib therapy or after discontinuation of sorafenib therapy.
24. The patient had received sorafenib as the most recent systemic therapeutic intervention (any hepatic locoregional therapy that had been administered prior to sorafenib was allowed, but not following sorafenib; radiation to metastatic sites \[e.g. bone\] following sorafenib therapy was permitted).
Inclusion Criteria - Ovarian Carcinoma Cohort:
18\. Histologically confirmed and documented ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer.
19\. Progression within 6 months of a platinum containing chemotherapy regimen (i.e. platinum resistant).
20\. Progression after up to three lines of chemotherapy.
21\. Maximum one line treatment with antiangiogenic therapy.
Inclusion Criteria - Renal Cell Carcinoma Cohort:
18\. Metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
19\. Histologically or cytologically confirmed and documented renal cell carcinoma with a clear cell component.
20\. Previous treatment with at least one vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor.
21\. Disease progression within 6 months prior to first study treatment.
22\. Patient had at most two prior targeted therapies for unresectable advanced or metastatic disease.
Inclusion Criteria - Gastric Carcinoma Cohort:
18\. Histologically or cytologically confirmed and documented adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction.
19\. Unresectable advanced or initially metastatic or recurrent after curative resection.
20\. Progression after one prior regimen of chemotherapy including fluoropyrimidine and platinum (with or without trastuzumab, if human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive \[HER2+\]).
21\. Maximum one line treatment with antiangiogenic therapy.
Exclusion Criteria - All Patients:
1. Other primary malignancy within the past 3 years (except for fully-resected non-melanoma skin cancer, localised prostate cancer with normal prostate specific antigen level, or cervical cancer in situ).
2. Known central nervous system metastasis that was symptomatic and/or required treatment.
3. Malabsorption (other than in patients with gastric carcinoma and partial or complete gastrectomy) or intestinal obstruction.
4. History of pancreatitis.
5. Essential medications that are known potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4.
6. Ongoing treatment with CYP1A2 (including warfarin) or CYP3A4 metabolised drug substance with narrow therapeutic range at the start of study. Treatment with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) was permitted.
7. History of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, congestive heart failure New York Heart Association class III/IV, cerebrovascular accident, transient ischaemic attack, limb claudication at rest in the previous 6 months, or ongoing symptomatic dysrhythmias, or uncontrolled atrial, or ventricular arrhythmias, or uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg.

9. History of venous thromboembolic disease within 3 months prior to first administration of study treatment.
10. The patient had current, severe and uncontrolled medical condition such as infection, diabetes mellitus or other systemic disease.
