Inclusion Criteria: Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of the following malignancies: \- Phase 1: CP-CML, BP-CML, AP-CML ALL. AML. Other leukemias. Lymphoma. Any other tumors, including tumors of the CNS, for which standard therapy is not available or is not indicated. \- Phase 2, Group A with CP-CML: CP-CML at the time of study entry and must be resistant to or intolerant of at least 1 prior BCR-ABL-targeted TKI therapy or be in "warning" response status or have the T315I kinase domain mutation. Must have 1 bone marrow aspirate with documentation of BCR-ABL translocation by conventional cytogenetics, metaphase FISH, or q-PCR performed within 42 days before the first dose of ponatinib. \- Phase 2, Group B with other leukemias or solid tumors: ALL. AML. Other leukemias. Lymphoma. Any other tumors, including tumors of the CNS, with mutations of RET, FLT3, KIT, FGFR, PDGFR, TIE2, VEGFR, or any other mutations where ponatinib may have biological activity (eg, EPH receptors and SRC families of kinases) as assessed on fresh or archived tumor tissue. Participants with solid tumors or with lymphoma must have measurable disease by CT or MRI based on RECIST v1.1 or the Lugano lymphoma guidelines as determined by site radiology. Prior therapies as follows: \- Phase 1: Participants with CML who are resistant to or intolerant of (as defined Appendix F) to at least 1 prior BCR-ABL-targeted TKI therapy. Participants with ALL who have progressed on or after all available or indicated therapies, which may have included 1 prior BCR-ABL-targeted TKI therapy. Participants with AML or other leukemias who have progressed on or after at least 1 prior induction attempt (for France only) or for whom no effective standard therapy is available or indicated (other countries). Participants with solid tumors (including tumors of the CNS) or lymphomas who have progressed despite standard therapy or for whom no effective standard therapy is available or indicated. \- Phase 2, Group A with CP-CML: Participants who are resistant to or intolerant of at least 1 prior BCR-ABL-targeted TKI therapy. \- Phase 2, Group B with other leukemias or solid tumors: Participants with ALL who have progressed on or after all available or indicated therapies, which must have included 1 prior BCR-ABL-targeted TKI therapy. Participants with AML or other leukemias who have progressed on or after at least 1 prior induction attempt (for France only) or for whom no effective standard therapy is available or indicated (other countries). Participants with solid tumors (including tumors of the CNS) or lymphomas who progressed despite standard therapy or for whom no effective standard therapy is available or indicated. * Karnofsky performance status ≥ 40% for participants ≥ 16 years old or Lansky Play Scale ≥ 40% for pediatric participants \< 16 years old. * Participants must have recovered to \< Grade 2 per the NCI CTCAE v5.0 or to baseline from any non-hematologic toxicities (except alopecia) due to previous therapy. * Willingness to avoid pregnancy or fathering children. Exclusion Criteria: Prior therapies: \- Participants with BP-CML, ALL, or AML who have received any of the following: Corticosteroids or hydroxyurea within 24 hours before the first dose of ponatinib. Vincristine within 7 days before the first dose of ponatinib. Other chemotherapy (excluding intrathecal chemotherapy) within 14 days before the first dose of ponatinib. \- Participants (except the BP-CML, ALL, and AML participants described above) who: Have had cytotoxic chemotherapy within 21 days (or 42 days for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) before the first dose of ponatinib.
