The post-menopausal status will be defined as having been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply: * Women \< 50 years of age: ---Amenorrheic for ≥ 12 months following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments; and ---Luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution; or ---Underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy). * Women ≥ 50 years of age: * Amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments; or * Had radiation-induced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago; or * Had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago; or * Underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or hysterectomy). * Female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects with a sexual partner of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception as described in Section 5.3.1. * Ability to swallow oral tablets. * Recovery to baseline or ≤ Grade 2 CTCAE v5 from toxicities related to any prior treatments, unless AE(s) are clinically nonsignificant and/or stable on supportive therapy per the treating investigator. * Patients or their legal representatives must be able to read, understand, and provide informed consent to participate in the trial. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior receipt of FGFR inhibitor. * Clinically significant active malabsorption syndrome or other condition likely to affect gastrointestinal (GI) absorption of the study drug. * Concurrent anticancer therapy except as listed in section 6.7.2 for prostate and breast cancer. * Prior systemic anti-cancer therapy or any investigational therapy within the timeframes listed below: * Cytotoxic chemotherapy within 4 weeks prior to treatment. * Monoclonal antibody within 3 weeks prior to treatment * BTK inhibitor within 2 weeks prior to treatment. ---Note: The wash out interval is based on the last day of the prior therapy to the start of the study drug (C1D1). * Prior radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment. --Note: Subjects must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have radiation pneumonitis. A 2-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation to non-CNS disease. * Major surgery 4 weeks prior to starting study drug or who have not fully recovered from major surgery. * Active second malignancy which is expected to impact study participation, in the opinion of the investigator. * Known CNS involvement. * Current evidence of uncontrolled, significant intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, the following conditions: --Cardiovascular disorders: * Congestive heart failure New York Heart Association Class III or IV or serious cardiac arrhythmias. * Unstable angina pectoris or acute coronary syndrome within the past 2 months prior to study enrolment * History of myocardial infarction (MI) within 3 months prior to enrollment. * QTcF prolongation defined as a QTcF \> 470 ms * Correction of suspected drug induced QTcF prolongation can be attempted at the investigator's discretion and only if clinically safe to do so with either discontinuation of the offending drug or switch to another drug not known to be associated with QTcF prolongation. * Correction for underlying bundle branch block (BBB) allowed. * Note: Patients with pacemakers are eligible if they have no history of fainting or clinically relevant arrhythmias while using the pacemaker. * Left ventricular ejection fraction \< 40% in the 12 months prior to study enrollment * Any other condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the subject's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns or compliance with clinical study procedures (e.g., infection/inflammation, intestinal obstruction, unable to swallow medication, \[subjects may not receive the drug through a feeding tube\], etc.) * Known HIV infection. * Active hepatitis B (known positive HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) result), or hepatitis C. --Note: Subjects with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody \[anti-HBc\] and absence of HBsAg) are eligible. Subjects positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA. Subjects with SMZL who have chronic HCV will need to have undergone antiviral treatment to participate. * History and/or current evidence of ectopic mineralization/calcification, including but not limited to soft tissue, kidneys, intestine, myocardia, or lung, excepting calcified lymph nodes and asymptomatic arterial or cartilage/tendon calcification. * Current evidence of clinically significant corneal or retinal disorder confirmed by ophthalmologic examination * Use of any potent CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers or moderate CYP3A4 inducers within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before the first dose of study drug. Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors are not prohibited but should be avoided. * Subject with history of hypovitaminosis D requiring supraphysiologic dose (such as 50,000 IU of vitamin D3) to replenish the deficiency. Subjects receiving vitamin D food supplements are allowed. * Current evidence of clinically significant corneal (including but not limited to bullous/band keratopathy, corneal abrasion, inflammation/ulceration, and keratoconjunctivitis) or retinal disorder (including but not limited to macular/retinal degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachment) as confirmed by ophthalmologic examination. * Medical, psychiatric, cognitive, or other conditions that may compromise the subject's ability to understand the subject information, give informed consent, comply with the study protocol or complete the study. * Known prior severe hypersensitivity to investigational product (IP) or any component in its formulations (NCI CTCAE v5.0 Grade ≥ 3). * Subjects taking prohibited medications as described in Section 6.7.4. A washout period of prohibited medications for a period of at least five half-lives or as clinically indicated should occur before the start of treatment.
