Methodology: 
This study is a progressive design with 2 discrete Parts (Part A: Dose escalation, Part B: Dose 
expansion). Cycle 1/Part A is a dose-finding assessment (dose escalation) to establish the MTD of 
Cantrixil when administered as a single dose once a week for 3 weeks. Cycle 2/Part A continues with 3 
additional weekly doses of Cantrixil as a monotherapy before an assessment of disease response. In 
Cycles 3 to 8/Part A, patients will be administered the same once-weekly dose of Cantrixil they tolerated 
in Cycles 1 and 2 (tolerance defined as no dose limiting toxicities [DLTs] or unacceptable adverse events 
[AEs]) in combination with standard chemotherapy agent(s), in order to assess the safety and tolerability 
of Cantrixil in combination therapy. Standard chemotherapy drugs will be administered at the standard 
efficacious dose and dosing schedule to maintain optimum benefit of known therapeutic agents for 
patients. Treating physicians may choose the combination therapy from the list in Table 1 taking into 
consideration factors such as pre-existing comorbidities, prior toxicities and responses as well as patient 
and physician preferences.  
Combination chemotherapy may not be administered until 24 hours after administration of Cantrixil to 
avoid any adverse drug-drug interactions. All combination therapies and concomitant medications must 
be diligently recorded in the patients’ electronic case report form (eCRF).  
Once the MTD has been determined in Part A/Cycle 1, an additional 12 patients will be recruited in an 
expansion cohort for Part B. These patients will receive 2 cycles of Cantrixil monotherapy at the MTD, 
followed by up to 6 cycles of combination therapy, selected by the treating physician from Table 1.  
Patients enrolled into the respective parts of the study may not receive treatments under different parts of 
the protocol e.g., if a patient enters Part A, she may not also continue to Part B even if she is considered 
to have completed Part A. 
To accommodate the intraperitoneal administration of Cantrixil, an in-dwelling, closed catheter or port 
will be inserted if the patient does not already have one. For intraperitoneal ports, the minimum period 
between port placement and the first administration of Cantrixil must not be shorter than 7 days. For 
other intraperitoneal access devices, the period may be shorter if adequate stability and/or healing of the 
delivery system’s insertion site is confirmed by the treating physician. 
Patients should begin protocol treatment within a maximum of 28 days of enrolment (i.e., signing of 
consent form). 
Patients will start at Dose Level 0 (see Table 2) which is calculated to be the human equivalent of 10% 
of the STD10 dose in rats (dose is 1/10 the severely toxic dose in 10% of rats tested). Dose levels -1 
and -2 will only be activated if there are 2 DLTs at the Dose Level 0 and -1, respectively. Single patient 
cohorts will be treated with increasing doses of Cantrixil until an AE is observed during Part A/Cycle 1 
that meets the definition of a DLT or, in the opinion of the Data Safety Monitoring Committee/Board 
(DSMC/B) and the Investigator, warrants observing additional patients at this dose level; at this point the 
study will revert to a 3+3 rules-based dose escalation study. The decision to expand from single patient 
cohorts to 3 patient cohorts is critical for the safety of participants and will be made with input from the 
Investigator and DSMC/B responsible for this study. Once the study enters a 3+3 rules-based design, the

study will not revert back to single patient cohorts.  
If any unacceptable AE or DLT is observed in any cycle, patients may be dose reduced to the next lower 
dose level of Cantrixil for subsequent doses of therapy. If a second unacceptable AE or DLT is observed 
during any cycle within the same patient, treatment for the patient with Cantrixil will be discontinued. 
Investigators may continue with the standard chemotherapy at their discretion and if it is considered safe 
and in the patient’s best interest.  
If any of the following unacceptable AEs or DLTs are observed and unless clearly unrelated to study 
treatment (e.g., disease progression), treatment at the currently allocated Cantrixil dose will be paused. 
At this point a dose reduction may be considered or the treatment may be terminated, depending on what 
is considered by the investigator to be in the participant’s best interest.: 
• 
Hematologic toxicity 
o 
Grade 4 neutropenia, lasting at least 5 days, 
o 
Grade 3 or Grade 4 neutropenia associated with fever >38.5°C,  
o 
Grade 4 thrombocytopenia lasting at least 5 days,  
o 
Grade 3 thrombocytopenia associated with severe bleeding in the opinion of the 
Investigator, 
o 
Dose delay of ≥3 weeks due to failure to recover counts. 
• 
Any Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 Grade 3 or 
Grade 4 non-haematological toxicity except: 
o 
Alopecia 
o 
Grade 3 abdominal pain deemed related to the port or catheter as determined by the 
treating physician 
o 
Grade 3 anorexia 
o 
Grade 3 fatigue 
o 
Grade 3 nausea and/or vomiting, or diarrhoea, lasting ≤48 hours with or without 
maximal medical management. 
o 
Grade 3 dehydration as a result of nausea and vomiting 
o 
Grade 3 constipation 
o 
Grade 3 metabolic abnormalities [hypokalaemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcaemia, 
hypophosphatemia]) that recovers to Grade 1 or less within 48 hours with or without 
medical management 
• 
Other serious adverse events (SAEs) which, in the opinion of the treating Investigator, 
necessitate temporary or permanent cessation of administration 
• 
Treatment delays of ≥3 weeks due to any non-haematological toxicity will constitute a DLT 
All patients who discontinue (i.e. are now Off Therapy/ End of Therapy) from the study treatment will 
progress to follow-up unless the patient withdraws consent.  
The initiation of each new cycle of Cantrixil will be at the discretion of the Investigator and will depend 
on the potential or measurable benefit to the patient assuming continued tolerability and adequate organ 
function. 
Cantrixil treatment will be stopped due to RECIST version 1.1 defined disease progression observed 
after at least 2 cycles of combination therapy, recurrence of unacceptable toxicity after 1 Cantrixil dose 
reduction or patient consent withdrawal. Note that patients with progressive disease at the end of

2 cycles of Cantrixil monotherapy will not be taken off therapy if Cantrixil has been well tolerated. 
Pre-clinical data would suggest that the maximum benefit from Cantrixil will be realised as a 
combination therapy, hence all patients will have the opportunity to continue receiving Cantrixil as a 
combination therapy. Additionally, patients receiving combination therapy that are observed to have 
progressive disease as identified by RECIST version 1.1 criteria but who, in the opinion of the 
Investigator, continued to derive clinical benefit may continue Cantrixil treatment. Patients may also be 
discontinued from study treatment if the Investigator considers continuing therapy is not in the patient’s 
best interest. All patients discontinued from study treatment (i.e. are now Off Therapy/ End of Therapy) 
will progress to follow-up unless the patient withdraws consent.  
Tumour assessment via radiological imaging will be conducted during screening and every 6 weeks after 
the start of therapy, i.e. at the end of monotherapy and then after every 2 cycles of combination therapy. 
The screening period is up to 28 days before the Cycle 1 Day 1 dose of Cantrixil. Either contrast-
enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) may be 
used, but once a modality is used at baseline this must be used consistently for that patient throughout 
their participation on the study. Other imaging is not mandatory, but may be performed if clinically 
indicated.  
Adverse events will be monitored for the duration of the study from the time of informed consent. Blood 
samples will be collected weekly for standard safety testing, or more frequently if clinically relevant, 
during the study. Additional volumes of blood will be collected before and after administration of 
Cantrixil for PK analysis (4 mL per time point as per the proposed PK schedule [Table 5]) and for any 
exploratory studies (at baseline, end of Cycle 2 and End of Therapy, 15 to 20 mL at each time-point). 
Part A (Dose escalation of Cantrixil as a monotherapy):  
Cycle 1  
Following placement of a port or catheter, eligible patients will be administered a single dose of the 
study treatment Cantrixil (TRX-E-002-1 formulated in Dexolve-7) intraperitoneally once a week for 
3 weeks. Patients will be monitored for DLTs over the 21-day cycle (Cycle 1).  
Blood samples will be collected weekly at each scheduled visit for standard safety testing, or more 
frequently if clinically relevant. Results of the safety assessments must be available prior to Cantrixil 
administration to ensure that all assessments still meet inclusion criteria as described in Section 6.2.1 and 
it is safe to proceed to the next dose of treatment. Treatment delays of up to three weeks are allowed for 
recovery without being classified as a protocol deviation or a dose limiting toxicity. 
Patients will continue to be monitored until they meet the study discontinuation criteria but will only be 
evaluable for DLTs that define the MTD of Cantrixil as a monotherapy during Cycle 1/Part A.  
Patients will start at Dose Level 0 (see Table 2) which is calculated to be the human equivalent of 10% 
of the STD10 dose in rats (dose is 1/10 the severely toxic dose in 10% of rats tested). Dose levels -1 and 
-2 will only be activated if there are 2 DLTs at the Dose Level 0 and -1, respectively. Single patient 
cohorts will be treated with increasing doses of Cantrixil until an AE is observed during Part A/Cycle 1 
that meets the definition of a DLT or in the opinion of the DSMC/B and the Investigator, warrants 
observing additional patients at this dose level; at this point the study will revert to a 3+3 rules-based 
dose escalation study (see Section 6.1.2). The decision to expand from single patient cohorts to 3 patient 
cohorts is critical for the safety of participants and will be made with input from the Investigator and 
DSMC/B responsible for this study (see Section 6.1.1). 
Cycle 2 
Patients that are still on study treatment at the end of Cycle 1/Part A will receive another cycle of 
Cantrixil monotherapy with once weekly dosing before disease assessment. Note that a disease

assessment will be conducted at the end of monotherapy but patients will not automatically be removed 
from therapy at this time-point if they have progressive disease as defined by RECIST version 1.1 
criteria. This is because the preclinical data strongly suggests that the benefit of Cantrixil will most likely 
be realised as a combination therapy. All patients will, therefore, have the opportunity to progress to a 
combination therapy with Cantrixil. 
Patients that have not discontinued from the study at the end of Cycle 2 will proceed to Cycles 3 to 
8/Part A of the study.  
Cycles 3 to 8 (Cantrixil in Combination with Standard Chemotherapy) 
Patients that progress to Cycles 3 to 8/Part A will continue on the same dose level of Cantrixil that they 
tolerated in Cycles 1 and 2/Part A, but in combination with systemic chemotherapy selected from Table 
1 by the treating physician/Investigator.  
During Cycles 3 to 8/Part A, patients will be administered Cantrixil once per week for each 21-day 
cycle. In addition to Cantrixil, patients will receive the chemotherapy selected by the Investigator 
according to the schedule in Table 1. Before administration of the combination chemotherapy, the PK 
results for each patient from Part A/ Cycle 1 will be reviewed by the DSMC to ensure that the PK profile 
of Cantrixil is indeed compatible with the proposed schedule for the combination chemotherapy agent. 
With the anticipated PK profile of Cantrixil, combination therapy should not be administered until 
24 hours after any dose of Cantrixil to avoid any adverse drug-drug interactions. All combination 
therapies and concomitant medications must be diligently recorded in the patient’s eCRF. 
Part B (Expansion Cohort at MTD): 
Once the MTD has been established, an expansion cohort will be recruited at the MTD. An additional 
12 patients will be recruited in this cohort on top of those recruited in Part A at the MTD. These patients 
will be subjected to the same intervention described above with 2 cycles of monotherapy followed by up 
to 6 cycles of combination therapy. 
Continued Access for Patients: 
Patients who complete the planned 8 cycles of treatment and in whom the Investigator feels there has 
been clinical benefit, have the option to continue to receive Cantrixil. This will be based on discussion 
between the Sponsor and the Investigator, all of which must be documented.  
It is at the discretion of the Investigator whether this continued treatment is a maintenance monotherapy 
or a combination chemotherapy.  
All patients that are provided continued access to Cantrixil are considered to be ongoing participants in 
this trial and hence, must agree to on-going data collection for monitoring safety, progression and 
survival. 
Number of Subjects: 
Six to 54 (includes up to 42 in Part A and12 in Part B) patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian 
cancer, fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal cancer. 
Main Criteria for Inclusion: 
Patients with the following disease criteria are eligible for this study:

treatment. All requests for continued access require discussion with the Sponsor. 
Endpoints 
Primary: 
1. Determination of the MTD of Cantrixil using standard safety monitoring assessments when 
administered as a monotherapy.  
2. Description of the PK of Cantrixil when administered as a monotherapy and in combination 
with standard chemotherapy agent(s). 
Secondary: 
1. PFS will be measured as the time from treatment start until objective disease progression as 
defined by RECIST version 1.1 and/or GCIG criteria.  
2. The time to paracentesis will be measured as the time from treatment initiation until the next 
paracentesis event for ascites.  
3. The volume of abdominal fluid will be measured by estimating the volume of malignant ascites 
drained at each paracentesis event. 
4. Disease response will be measured using RECIST version 1.1 criteria; during Follow-up, 
response may be also assessed using the Gynecological Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) response 
criteria that incorporates CA-125 measurements (see Appendix C). 
5. Concentration of CA-125 in peripheral blood will be assayed in local laboratories using locally 
validated assays at baseline and then weekly during treatment, at the End of Therapy and during 
Follow-up. 
Exploratory: 
1. Determination of the optimum dose and administration schedule (i.e. weekly vs twice weekly 
administration) using standard safety monitoring assessments, PK measurements and 
tolerability of delivery in the study centre. 
2. Enumeration of CETC in peripheral blood and malignant ascites (if present) will be assayed 
using the MAINTRAC® CETC Count method by Genostics or similar methodology.  
3. Clonogenicity of CETCs in peripheral blood and malignant ascites (if present) will be measured 
using the MAINTRAC® Tumour Sphere Units assay by Genostics or similar methodology. 
4. Expression of stem cell markers in the isolated colonies will be measured using fluorescein 
isothiocyanate-labelled (FITC-labelled) or alternatively labelled antibodies and scanning 
fluorescent microscopy techniques. 
Criteria for Evaluation 
Pharmacokinetics: 
Pharmacokinetic samples will be collected at the time points indicated in the proposed PK schedule for 
each subject: 
At each of the sampling periods a blood sample will be collected into a 4mL dipotassium 
ethyllenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) tube and the sample processed to plasma. The plasma samples 
will be divided into a primary and back up sample and stored frozen at -80°C. The primary sample will 
subsequently be shipped to the contracted bioanalytical laboratory. The samples will subsequently be 
analysed for TRX-E-002-1 using a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) 
based method which has been previously validated for determination of TRX-E-002-1 concentration in

human plasma. 
Efficacy: 
Although disease response is not the primary endpoint of this study, patients with measurable disease 
will be assessed for disease response by standard RECIST version 1.1 criteria. For the purposes of this 
study, patients should have their disease burden evaluated at baseline and re-evaluated every 6 weeks. 
Response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the international criteria proposed by the 
Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) committee, version 1.1; the Gynecological 
Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) response criteria that incorporates CA-125 measurements may also be used 
during Follow-up. As per RECIST version 1.1, the patient’s entire tumour burden will be documented at 
baseline and followed throughout the study as well as CA-125 levels. Only those patients that have 
received at least 1 cycle of chemotherapy, and have had at least 1 post-treatment disease evaluation, will 
be considered evaluable for disease response. 
Safety: 
Physical examination, vital signs, laboratory tests, including urinary analysis, 12-lead electrocardiograms 
(ECGs), and AE monitoring. 
Statistical Methods 
Determination of sample size: 
For this Phase I dose-escalation study to determine the MTD of Cantrixil as a monotherapy and to 
investigate the safety and tolerability when combined with standard chemotherapy, an appropriate 
sample size is not statistically determined.  
The dose-escalation Part A/Cycle 1 of the study is designed to determine the MTD of Cantrixil as a 
monotherapy in patients with ovarian cancer. The planned dose levels include 0.24, 0.6, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10 
and 20 mg/kg. From the initial dose level, single patient cohorts will be used until an AE is observed 
during Part A/ Cycle 1 that meets the definition of a DLT or warrants further examination in the opinion 
of the Principal Investigator and the DSMC/B and then the dose escalation will follow the 3+3 dose 
escalation model to treat up to 3 to 6 patients at each escalating dose level. After Cycle 2, patients will 
continue at the same dose level combined with standard chemotherapy through Cycles 3 to 8 in Part A of 
the study. Patients who haven’t experienced a DLT but who do not complete Cycle 1 of therapy will be 
replaced. To establish the MTD in Part A of the study, up to 42 patients will be enrolled. An expanded 
cohort with 12 patients will be enrolled and treated at the MTD in Part B of the study.  
The total sample size may be up to 54 patients (up to 42 in Part A and 12 in Part B) enrolled into this 
study.   
Analysis populations:  
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) population: The MTD population will include all patients who 
experienced DLTs in Cycle 1/Part A, and those who received all three weekly doses of study treatment 
in Cycle 1/Part A. The safety, tolerability and MTD data sets regarding the Cycle 1/Part A will be used 
to determine MTD from this analysis population.  
Safety (SAF) population: The SAF population will include all enrolled patients who receive at least one 
dose of study treatment. All safety analyses will be conducted on this population.  
Pharmacokinetic (PK) population: The PK population will include all SAF patients who have had at least 
one PK assessment. All PK analyses will be conducted on this population.   
Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population: The ITT population will include all enrolled patients who receive at 
least one dose of study treatment and from whom at least one post-baseline efficacy measurement is 
obtained. All efficacy analyses will be conducted on this population and will be based on the actual dose

level/single-weekly or twice weekly doses of Cantrixil at which each patient has been treated. 
Statistical Analysis: 
As appropriate, variables will be summarised descriptively (frequency and percent will be summarised 
for categorical variables; mean, standard deviation [SD], median, minimum, and maximum will be 
presented for continuous variables) by study visit and by treatment group, including dose group and 
monotherapy vs combination therapy. All study data will be listed by subject. 
MTD 
For determination of the MTD, individual subject data from the Part A/ Cycle 1 dose escalation part will 
be reported.  
In addition, for the final statistical analysis, the following will be analysed: 
• 
At each dose level, the number and proportion of subjects in the DLT population who 
experience a DLT during the first DLT evaluation period (Cycle 1/Part A). 
• 
At each dose level, the number and proportion of treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) 
experienced by subjects in the DLT population during the first DLT evaluation period 
(Cycle 1/Part A). 
The MTD will be determined according to the dose-escalation plan described above. 
The MTD is defined as the highest dose level at which no more than 1 subject out of 6 subjects treated in 
a cohort and evaluable for DLT determination experiences a DLT during Part A/ Cycle 1. 
Safety and tolerability 
Adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and 
will be summarised by System Organ Class (SOC), Preferred Term, and dose cohort. Severity of AEs 
will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI)-CTCAE version 4.03 severity grading scale. 
Adverse events will be further summarised by maximum severity and relationship to study medication.  
Prior and concomitant medications will be summarised by dose cohort. Standard chemotherapy 
medications will be separately summarised by dose cohort. Safety laboratory tests and vital signs 
assessments, will be summarised by treatment using statistics for continuous or categorical data, as 
appropriate.  
DLTs, safety and tolerability data will be summarised for Cycles 1 to 2 and Cycles 3 to 8 separately at 
MTD from Part A and Part B study, as appropriate. A detailed Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) including 
dictionaries used for coding and software used will be finalised prior to clinical database lock of the 
study. 
Pharmacokinetic Parameters 
Summary statistics will be presented for Cantrixil (TRX-E-002-1) plasma concentrations at each 
scheduled time point by dose cohort (for example, mean, geometric mean, median, SD, standard error of 
the mean [SEM], coefficient of variation [CV] and range). Summary statistics will also be presented by 
dose cohort for all TRX-E-002-1 PK parameters, including  
• 
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last quantifiable 
concentration (AUC0-last), 
• 
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and 
• 
Time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax), plus if estimable:

4 INTRODUCTION   
4.1 Background Information 
Cantrixil is an investigational drug product consisting of the active ingredient, 
TRX-E-002-1, formulated in the cyclodextrin molecule, Dexolve-7. The active 
pharmaceutical ingredient, TRX-E-002-1, is the active enantiomer of a super-benzopyran 
molecule that has been identified as having potent anti-cancer activity against a broad 
range of cancer phenotypes. It has been selected particularly for its potent cytotoxicity 
against the two main sub-populations of ovarian cancer cells, namely ovarian cancer 
stem-like (CD44+ve) cells and ovarian somatic cancer (CD44-ve) cells. Against CD44-ve 
and CD44+ve cells, observed median inhibitory concentration (IC50) values for 
TRX-E-002-1 ranged from 23 to 109 nM.  
TRX-E-002-1 induces cell death by both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent 
apoptosis. The molecular target remains unconfirmed, but similar to other drugs of this 
class and based on in silico modelling, it may involve tumour-associated NADH oxidase 
(ENOX2) and disruptions to trans-membrane electron-transport mediated energy 
production (Brown et al., 2008). Recent mechanistic studies in ovarian cancer 
demonstrated that TRX-E-002-1 induces caspase-mediated apoptosis. All pro-apoptotic 
factors (Bax, bid, XIAP) were up-regulated along with significant up-regulation of pJun, 
suggesting activation of stress pathways associated with mitochondrial depolarisation. 
Akt was unaffected. 
The super-benzopyran family of drugs, including TRX-E-002-1, is derived from a family 
of naturally occurring plant diphenolic (benzopyran) compounds, (i.e., genistein and 
daidzein). Compounds such as genistein are plant hormones with pleiotropic 
characteristics in plants and can up- and down-regulate a range of enzymes and gene 
transcription factors. Similarly, benzopyrans have proven to have a wide range of 
pleiotropic effects in animals including humans and have been the subject of drug 
development programs across various cancer and degenerative disease indications. 
Pharmaceuticals in this class include Phenoxodiol, Triphendiol and two further 
investigational agents, ME-143 and ME-433. Starting with the first-in-class, Phenoxodiol, 
and ending with ME-433, these compounds demonstrate increasing potency in in vitro 
studies. Human clinical trials have successfully been completed for all of these agents 
over the last decade. No significant safety issues were identified with Phenoxodiol in over 
800 patients treated with the drug either orally or intravenously (IV) on a continuous basis 
for periods up to several years (Fotopoulou et al., 2014). However, the Phase III study for 
this agent failed due to a deficit in bioavailability of the oral formulation adopted 
(Fotopoulou et al., 2014). Triphendiol, selected because of its better bioavailability in

animals (Saif et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2011), was subjected to one Phase Ia clinical trial 
in Australia. This pharmacokinetic (PK) study showed that the compound underwent 
extensive liver metabolism in humans, producing a demethylated metabolite (ME-143) 
which in vitro studies found to be a significantly more potent anti-cancer agent.  
Commencing in 2009, Kazia Therapeutics Limited embarked on a drug discovery 
program seeking to achieve greater complexity of structure of its benzopyran drug 
technology platform. The progression in structural complexity from phenoxodiol, to 
triphendiol and then to ME-344 had resulted in progressive log-fold increases in anti-
cancer activity. Along with that increased potency came subtle changes in the molecular 
target, with phenoxodiol causing caspase-dependent apoptosis, triphendiol and ME-143 
causing both caspase-dependent and -independent apoptosis, and ME-344 killing cancer 
cells by catastrophic autophagy. 
A breakthrough in manufacturing technology, allowed the creation of benzopyrans of 
considerably greater complexity not previously possible, resulting in a new family of 
compounds with a 1 to 2 log-fold increase in anti-cancer potency compared to the earlier 
“simple” benzopyrans such as ME-344. This increase in anti-cancer potency is believed 
to come from an increase in the electron-transferring potential of the molecule, with both 
stronger electron donating and receiving activity. Such changes are well recognised as 
leading to stronger drug-target interactions. TRX-E-002-1 is the first of this 
“superbenzopyran” family of molecules to enter clinical research. 
 
4.1.1 Pre-Clinical Findings 
Cantrixil delivers a potent anti-cancer effect in a stringent mouse model of human ovarian 
cancer. The model is one where human CD44+ve cells are formed into spheroids and then 
injected intraperitoneally into athymic mice. This is a highly aggressive model where the 
spheroids form detectable tumours within 4 days in a disseminated manner throughout the 
abdomen. There is extensive tumour load and profound ascites by Day 20 without 
treatment requiring sacrifice of animals. In this model, Cantrixil injected intraperitoneally 
daily significantly reduces carcinomatosis, whereas cisplatin therapy produces a transient 
response, followed by rapid tumour recurrence. The anti-tumour effect has been 
demonstrated at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg administered daily and also at 150 mg/kg 
administered three times a week. Cantrixil is non-irritant when dosed via the 
intraperitoneal route in this model. 
Cantrixil was also shown to be effective in a mouse model of recurrent 
chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer. In this model, mice were inoculated with human 
ovarian cells, tumours were allowed to establish, and the mice were then treated with 
standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel). While initially responding to chemotherapy, tumours

eventually recurred while still on therapy, thereby mimicking progressive chemo-resistant 
disease in women. In contrast to those mice treated with taxol, when mice with 
chemo-resistant tumours were treated with Cantrixil their growth was significantly 
inhibited. These data confirm that Cantrixil is active in a model of recurrent ovarian 
cancer where tumours are resistant to both cisplatin and paclitaxel and demonstrates the 
potential of Cantrixil for treating both therapy naïve and chemotherapy-resistant ovarian 
cancer in the clinic. 
Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies in healthy rats 
indicated that after intraperitoneal administration of a single dose of Cantrixil, 
TRX-E-002-1 had a relatively short half-life (time to maximum plasma concentration 
[tmax] = 0.5 to 2 hours and apparent terminal half-life [t1/2] = 2 to 3 hours) and was present 
in plasma and tissue predominantly in the parent, unconjugated form. High levels were 
observed in kidneys, pancreas, stomach, large intestine, adrenals, ovaries and skin 
although this was largely eliminated at 24 hours after exposure from all tissues except the 
large intestine. The drug was eliminated via both renal and hepatic routes in rats. A 
similar ADME profile was observed in dogs, except that it was cleared from the large 
intestine at 72 hours and while circulating TRX-E-002-1 was predominantly in the parent 
unconjugated form, it was conjugated in the tissues. In dogs and rats, following 14-day 
repeat exposure, there was no evidence indicating accumulation of TRX-E-002-1 with 
multiple dosing.  
Escalating dose studies indicated that the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) following a 
single dose of Cantrixil was 50 mg/kg in male and female rats. Based on a 28-day repeat 
dose and 14-day recovery study, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was 
observed to be 3 mg/kg for male rats and 10 mg/kg for female rats and the No Effect 
Level (NOEL) was 0.5 mg/kg for both male and female rats.  
Dogs appeared to tolerate higher doses of Cantrixil than rats, with single doses up to 
80 mg/kg being administered without obvious clinical signs of toxicity. The MTD for 
dogs was considered to be greater than 200 mg/kg for a single dose of Cantrixil. A 28-day 
repeat dosing study concluded that the NOAEL for male and female dogs together was 
10 mg/kg. In both species, there was a gender specificity in tolerance to Cantrixil.  
In both species (i.e., rats and dogs), clinical signs included lethargy, discoloured faeces, 
liquid/soft faeces, soft faeces and emesis. Necropsy and histological test article-related 
observations were most prominently seen in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract with red 
streaking a common observation. These GI toxicities resolved during the 14-day recovery 
period. Testis toxicity was also observed in both species with an effect on 
spermatogenesis and these effects did not completely resolve during the 14-day recovery 
period. Electrocardiogram (ECG) readings in dogs showed no effect of Cantrixil on the 
QT interval. Mild changes in blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature were

observed immediately following dosing but these parameters returned to normal within 
hours of dosing.  
Further information can be found in the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) (Cantrixil 
Investigator’s Brochure). 
4.2 Rationale  
Cantrixil is the first of this new “super” benzopyran drug family to reach the clinical 
research stage of development and is designed for intraperitoneal delivery. 
Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that intraperitoneal administration of chemotherapy 
results in a 10 to 20-fold higher drug exposure to tumours in the peritoneum than 
achieved with IV administration of chemotherapy. In addition, drugs administered to the 
peritoneal cavity have a significantly longer half-life than drugs given intravenously 
(Gourley et al., 2016). Based on the body of evidence in the literature (now 8 randomised 
clinical trials) (Jaaback et al., 2011), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) encourages the 
use of a combined IV and intraperitoneal chemotherapy regimen for ovarian cancer 
patients (Trimble and Alvarez 2006). Although intraperitoneal regimens resulted in 
higher rates of toxicity compared with IV, the evidence suggests that the benefits of 
intraperitoneal delivery outweigh the risk, with overall survival for women with advanced 
ovarian cancer extended by about 1 year (Walker 2013; Tewari et al., 2015). 
The unequivocal and reproducible efficacy of Cantrixil in mouse models of ovarian 
cancer and the relative tolerance of Cantrixil in both rodent and non-rodent animals, 
warrants further development of this drug candidate. The anti-tumour effect in a mouse 
model has been demonstrated at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg administered daily and also at 
150 mg/kg administered three times a week. Cantrixil is non-irritant when dosed via the 
intraperitoneal route in this model. This Phase I study represents the next step in the 
clinical development program for Cantrixil. In this study, initially the drug will be 
delivered as a single agent in order to identify the MTD as a monotherapy. Safety and 
tolerability profiles of Cantrixil in humans will be investigated as well as the drug’s PK 
profile when delivered as a single agent. Once tolerance as a monotherapy has been 
established, the safety of Cantrixil as part of a combination therapy with standard 
chemotherapy agents will be examined. An initial assessment of the potential benefits of 
the drug will also be examined using tumour imaging and biomarkers to assess 
anti-cancer activity. 
The starting dose of Cantrixil of 0.24 mg/kg has been chosen based on the animal 
toxicology data. A common approach for many small molecules is to set the start dose at 
1/10 the severely toxic dose in 10% of the animals (STD 10) in rodents (Senderowicz, 
2010). In light of the good tolerance of this molecule in mice and dogs, as well as the 
MTDs determined in recent human clinical trials for related compounds (ME-344 and

ME-143; Bendell et al., 2014, Pant et al., 2014), the starting dose has been set at 1/10th 
the observed STD10 in rats. The human equivalent dose is 0.24 mg/kg, calculated using 
standard species conversion tables (FDA Guidance 2005) and adding a safety factor of 
10. This starting dose is around ten-fold less than the starting dose in humans for ME-143 
(2.5 mg/kg) and ME-344 (1.25mg/kg) (Bendell et al., 2014; Pant et al., 2014). 
This study will be performed in compliance with the protocol, International Council for 
Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and applicable regulatory 
requirements. Aspects of the study concerned with the investigational medicinal 
product(s) (IMPs) will meet the requirements of European Union (EU) and Food and 
Drug Administration (FDA) Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). 
4.3 Risk Assessment 
As this is the first study of Cantrixil in humans, there is no information on its PK and 
metabolism, safety or efficacy in a clinical setting. 
Non-clinical studies in rats and dogs have been undertaken. Some of the clinical signs 
observed in these studies included lethargy, swelling of the abdomen, discoloured faeces, 
liquid/soft faeces, and soft faeces. Necropsy and histological study drug-related 
observations were most prominently seen in the gastrointestinal tract and male 
reproductive organs. ECG readings in dogs showed no effect of Cantrixil on the QT 
interval. 
Preliminary data from experiments in human hepatic microsomes indicate that 
TRX-E-002-1 may inhibit cytochrome P450 drug metabolising enzymes, including 
CYP2C9, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP2B6, CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2A6 and CYP1A2. 
The results suggest that caution is warranted when administering Cantrixil with drugs 
metabolised by cytochrome P450 enzymes until further information is available. In 
particular, the potential interaction between Cantrixil and paclitaxel, a CYP2C9 substrate 
frequently used in the treatment of ovarian cancer, needs to be considered. It should also 
be noted that given the toxicity observed in male reproductive organs and spermatozoa, 
males should initially be excluded from this Phase I study. Other study drug-related 
effects were predominantly associated with the gastrointestinal tract, specifically nausea, 
emesis and diarrhoea.

6 INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
6.1 Overall Study Design 
This study is a progressive design with 3 discrete Parts (Part A: Dose escalation and Part 
B: Dose expansion). The overall study schema is presented in Figure 1.  
Cycle 1/Part A is a dose-finding assessment (dose escalation) to establish the MTD of 
Cantrixil when administered as a single dose once a week for 3 weeks. Cycle 2/Part A 
continues with 3 additional weekly doses of Cantrixil as a monotherapy before an 
assessment of disease response. In Cycles 3 to 8/Part A patients will be administered the 
same once-weekly dose of Cantrixil they tolerated in Cycles 1 and 2 (tolerance defined as 
no dose limiting toxicities [DLTs] or unacceptable adverse events [AEs]) in combination 
with a standard chemotherapy agent, in order to assess the safety and tolerability of 
Cantrixil in combination therapy. Standard chemotherapy drugs will be administered at 
the standard efficacious doses to maintain optimum benefit of known drug combinations 
for patients. Treating physicians may choose the combination therapy from the list in 
Table 1 taking into consideration factors such as pre-existing comorbidities, prior 
toxicities and responses as well as patient and physician preferences.

Best supportive care and extended monotherapy with Cantrixil alone 
 
 
Combination chemotherapy may not be administered until 24 hours after administration 
of Cantrixil to avoid any adverse drug-drug interactions. All combination therapies and 
concomitant medications must be diligently recorded in the patients’ electronic case 
report form (eCRF).  
Once the MTD has been determined in Part A/Cycle 1, an additional 12 patients will be 
recruited in an expansion cohort for Part B. These patients will receive 2 cycles of 
Cantrixil monotherapy at the MTD, followed by up to 6 cycles of combination therapy.

Patients enrolled into the respective parts of the study may not receive treatments under 
different parts of the protocol e.g., if a patient enters Part A, she may not also continue to 
Part B even if she considered to have completed Part A. 
To accommodate the intraperitoneal administration of Cantrixil, an in-dwelling, closed 
catheter or port will be inserted if the patient does not already have one. For 
intraperitoneal ports, the minimum period between port placement and the first 
administration of Cantrixil must not be shorter than 7 days. For other intraperitoneal 
access devices, the period may be shorter if adequate stability and/or healing of the 
delivery system’s insertion site is confirmed by the treating physician. 
Patients should begin protocol treatment within a maximum of 28 days of enrolment (i.e., 
signing of consent form). 
Patients will start at Dose Level 0 (see Table 2) which is calculated to be the human 
equivalent of 10% of the STD10 dose in rats (dose is 1/10 the severely toxic dose in 10% 
of rats tested). Single patient cohorts will be treated with increasing doses of Cantrixil 
until an AE is observed during Part A/Cycle 1 that meets the definition of a DLT or, in 
the opinion of the Data Safety Monitoring Committee/Board (DSMC/B) and the 
Investigator, warrants observing additional patients at this dose level; at this point the 
study will revert to a 3+3 rules-based dose escalation study (see Section 6.1.2). The 
decision to expand from single patient cohorts to 3 patient cohorts is critical for the safety 
of participants and will be made with input from the Investigator and DSMC/B 
responsible for this study (see Section 6.1.1). Dose levels -1 and -2 will only be activated 
if there are 2 DLTs at Dose Level 0 and -1, respectively. Once the study enters a 3+3 
rules-based design, the study will not revert back to single patient cohorts.

If any unacceptable AE or DLT is observed in any cycle, patients may be dose reduced to 
the next lower dose level of Cantrixil for subsequent doses of therapy. If a second 
unacceptable AE or DLT is observed during any cycle within the same patient, treatment 
with Cantrixil will be discontinued. Investigators may continue with the standard 
chemotherapy at their discretion and if it is considered safe and in the patient’s best 
interest. 
All patients who discontinue from the study treatment (i.e. are now Off Therapy/End of 
Therapy) will progress to follow-up unless the patient withdraws consent.  
The initiation of each new cycle of Cantrixil will be at the discretion of the Investigator 
and will depend on the potential or measurable benefit to the patient assuming continued 
tolerability and adequate organ function. 
Cantrixil treatment will also be stopped due to RECIST version 1.1 defined disease 
progression observed after at least 2 cycles of combination therapy, or patient consent 
withdrawal. Note that patients with progressive disease at the end of 2 cycles of Cantrixil 
monotherapy will not be taken off therapy if Cantrixil has been well-tolerated. 
Pre-clinical data would suggest that the maximum benefit of Cantrixil will be realised as a 
combination therapy, hence all patients will have the opportunity to continue receiving 
Cantrixil as a combination therapy. Additionally, patients receiving combination therapy 
that are observed to have progressive disease as identified by RECIST version 1.1 criteria 
but who, in the opinion of the Investigator, continue to derive clinical benefit, may 
continue treatment. Patients may also be discontinued from study treatment if the 
Investigator considers continuing therapy is not in the patient’s best interest.  
All patients discontinued from study treatment (i.e. are now Off Therapy/End of Therapy) 
will progress to follow-up unless the patient withdraws consent.  
Tumour assessment via radiological imaging will be conducted during screening and 
every 6 weeks, i.e., at the end of monotherapy and then after every 2 cycles of 
combination therapy. The screening period is up to 28 days before the Cycle 1 Day 1 dose 
of Cantrixil. Either contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or contrast-
enhanced computed tomography (CT) may be used, but once a modality is used at 
baseline this must be used consistently for that patient throughout their participation on 
the study. Other imaging is not mandatory, but may be performed if clinically indicated.  
Adverse events will be monitored for the duration of the study from the time of informed 
consent. Blood samples will be collected weekly for standard safety testing, or more 
frequently if clinically relevant, during the study. Additional volumes of blood will be 
collected before and after administration of Cantrixil for PK analysis (4 mL per time point 
as per the proposed PK schedule [Table 5] and for any exploratory studies (at baseline, 
end of Cycles 2, and End of Therapy - 15 to 20 mL at each time-point).

Part A (Dose escalation of Cantrixil as a monotherapy):  
Cycle 1  
Following placement of a port or catheter, eligible patients will be administered a single 
intraperitoneal dose of the study treatment Cantrixil (TRX-E-002-1 formulated in 
Dexolve-7) once a week for 3 weeks. Patients will be monitored for DLTs over the 
21-day cycle (Cycle 1).  
Blood samples will be collected weekly at each scheduled visit for standard safety testing, 
or more frequently if clinically relevant. Results of the safety assessments must be 
available prior to Cantrixil administration to ensure that all assessments still meet the 
inclusion criteria as described in Section 6.2.1 and it is safe to proceed to the next dose of 
treatment. Treatment delays of up to three weeks are allowed for recovery without being 
classified as a protocol deviation or a dose limiting toxicity. 
Patients will continue to be monitored until they meet the off-study criteria (see below) 
but will only be evaluable for DLTs that define the MTD of Cantrixil as a monotherapy 
during Cycle 1/Part A.  
Patients will start at Dose Level 0 (see Table 2) which is calculated to be the human 
equivalent of 10% of the STD10 dose in rats (dose is 1/10 the severely toxic dose in 10% 
of rats tested). Single patient cohorts will be treated with increasing doses of Cantrixil 
until an AE is observed during Part A/Cycle 1 that meets the definition of a DLT or, in 
the opinion of the DSMC/B and the Investigator, warrants observing additional patients at 
this dose level; at this point the study will revert to a 3+3 rules-based dose escalation 
study (see Section 6.1.2). The decision to expand from single patient cohorts to 3 patient 
cohorts is critical for the safety of participants and will be made with input from the 
Investigator and DSMC/B responsible for this study (see Section 6.1.1). Dose levels -1 
and -2 will only be activated if there are 2 DLTs at Dose Level 0 and -1, respectively. 
Cycle 2 
Patients that are still on study treatment at the end of Cycle 1/Part A will receive another 
cycle of Cantrixil monotherapy with once weekly dosing before disease assessment. Note 
that a disease assessment will be conducted at the end of monotherapy but patients will 
not automatically be removed from therapy at this time-point if they have progressive 
disease as defined by RECIST version 1.1 criteria. This is because the pre-clinical data 
strongly suggests that the benefit of Cantrixil will most likely be realised as a 
combination therapy. All patients will, therefore, have the opportunity to progress to a 
combination therapy with Cantrixil. 
Patients that have not discontinued from the study at the end of Cycle 2 will proceed to 
Cycles 3 to 8/Part A of the study.

Cycles 3 to 8 (Cantrixil in Combination with Standard Chemotherapy) 
Patients that progress to Cycles 3 to 8/Part A will continue on the same dose level of 
Cantrixil that they tolerated in Cycles 1 and 2/Part A but in combination with a systemic 
chemotherapy selected from Table 1 for the patient by the treating physician/Investigator. 
In the rare event that there does not exist a combination chemotherapy that could be 
recommended by the Investigator, patients may continue to Cycles 3 to 8 receiving 
Cantrixil as a monotherapy if it is deemed by the Investigator and the patient to be 
providing potential benefit as a monotherapy.  
During Cycles 3 to 8/Part A, patients will be administered Cantrixil once per week for 
each 21-day cycle. The combination chemotherapy will be administered as per the 
schedules in Table 1. Before administration of the combination chemotherapy, the PK 
results for each patient from Part A/ Cycle 1 will be reviewed by the DSMC to ensure that 
the PK profile of Cantrixil is indeed compatible with the proposed schedule for the 
combination chemotherapy agent. 
With the anticipated PK profile of Cantrixil, there should be a 24-hour window after each 
dose of Cantrixil before any other chemotherapy agent is administered to avoid any drug-
drug interactions. All combination therapies and concomitant medications must be 
diligently recorded in the patient’s eCRF.   
Part B (Expansion Cohort at MTD): 
Once the MTD has been established in Part A/Cycle 1, an expansion cohort will be 
recruited at the MTD. An additional 12 patients will be recruited in this cohort on top of 
those recruited in Part A at the MTD. These patients will be subjected to the same 
intervention described above with 2 cycles of monotherapy followed by up to 6 cycles of 
combination therapy. 
Continued Access for Patients: 
All patients who complete eight cycles, and in whom the local Investigator feels there has 
been a clinical benefit from treatment, may continue to receive Cantrixil, following 
discussion with the Sponsor. Those patients granted continued access will be dosed 
weekly with Cantrixil at the dose that they have been receiving during cycles 1 to 8. 
Patients will be monitored and supported as per local standard of care procedures, 
including any blood and urine safety assessments and on-going radiology assessments. 
During this period of extended access, Kazia will only collect data on adverse events, 
Cantrixil administration and drug accountability. Cantrixil treatment will be stopped due 
to locally defined disease progression, recurrence of an unacceptable toxicity after 1 
Cantrixil dose reduction or patient consent withdrawal. The definition of unacceptable 
toxicity during this extended access period is the same as defined in section 6.1.3.

continuing therapy is not in the patient’s best interest. When dosing of Cantrixil is 
discontinued, the Off Therapy/End of Therapy schedule of assessments in Table 4 should 
be conducted. All patients discontinued from study treatment (i.e. are now Off Therapy/ 
End of Therapy) will progress to follow-up unless the patient withdraws consent.  
It is at the discretion of the Investigator whether this continued treatment is a maintenance 
monotherapy or a combination chemotherapy.  
All patients that are provided continued access to Cantrixil must agree to on-going data 
collection for monitoring safety, progression and survival.

6.1.1 Data Safety Monitoring Committee/Board 
This study will utilise a Data Safety Monitoring Committee/Board (DSMC/B) throughout 
the study. The membership and governance of this committee are outlined in a separate 
charter. The DSMC/B will review safety data from each patient at the end of each Part 
A/Cycle 1 to confirm that it is safe to dose escalate and to assess the compatibility of the 
proposed combination therapy schedule. Written confirmation from the DSMC/B will be 
required before a patient can be administered a higher dose than the previously enrolled 
patient or proceed to combination therapy. 
An appropriate interval will separate the investigation of dose levels to permit a timely 
review and evaluation of safety, tolerability and PK data prior to proceeding to a higher 
dose level.  
All data reviewed at the DSMC/B meeting (safety, tolerability and PK where appropriate) 
will be subjected to a quality control (QC) review.  
The DSMC/B will continue to assess safety data throughout the course of the study, and 
may discontinue patient exposure to particular combinations if evidence of unacceptable 
toxicity emerges. 
 
6.1.2 Dose Escalation Criteria 
Single patient cohorts will be treated with increasing doses of Cantrixil until a treated 
patient exhibits an AE during Part A/Cycle 1 that meets the definition of a DLT or, in the 
opinion of the Investigator and the DSMC/B, warrants observing additional patients at 
this dose level; at this point the study will revert to a 3+3 rules-based dose escalation 
design (see Table 3). During the single patient cohort stages and the 3+3 design, once the 
single patient or the first 3 patients at a dose level have completed Cycle 1/Part A, 
tolerability data will be evaluated by the DSMC/B and a decision to escalate to the next 
dose level will be made. Once the study enters a 3+3 rules-based design, the study will 
not revert back to single patient cohorts.

if 0 of these 3 new patients experiences a DLT, proceed to the 
next dose level; 
• 
if ≥1 of this group suffer a DLT (for a total of ≥2/6 patients with 
a DLT), this dose exceeds the MTD and dose escalation is 
stopped. To further assess tolerability, 3 additional patients will 
be entered at the next lowest dose level if only 3 patients were 
treated previously at that dose. Upon determination of the MTD, 
the study will proceed to Part B of the study.

Dose escalation will be stopped. This dose exceeds the MTD. To further 
assess tolerability, 3 additional patients will be entered at the next lowest 
dose level if only 3 patients were treated previously at that dose and the 
study will proceed to Part B of the study. 
DLT: Dose limiting toxicity; MTD: maximum tolerated dose 
Progression to the next higher dose level will be stopped if one or more patients 
experience a DLT (as outlined in Table 3) but also if an AE occurs that, in the opinion of 
the Investigator or Sponsor’s medical representative and the DSMC/B, warrants 
discontinuation of dose escalation. 
 
6.1.3 Study Stopping Rules 
Dosing for any individual patient will be stopped if the patient experiences a SAE or an 
AE, which in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor’s medical representative or 
DSMC/B, warrants discontinuation of the study treatment for that patient’s wellbeing.  
If any of the following unacceptable AEs or DLTs are observed and unless clearly 
unrelated to study treatment (e.g., disease progression), treatment at the currently 
allocated Cantrixil dose will be paused. At this point a dose reduction may be considered 
or the treatment may be terminated, depending on what is considered by the investigator 
to be in the participant’s best interest.: 
  
• Hematologic toxicity 
o Grade 4 neutropenia, lasting at least 5 days, 
o Grade 3 or Grade 4 neutropenia associated with fever >38.5°C,  
o Grade 4 thrombocytopenia lasting at least 5 days,

o Grade 3 thrombocytopenia associated with severe bleeding in the opinion 
of the Investigator, 
o Dose delay of ≥3 weeks due to failure to recover counts to levels described 
in the study inclusion criteria as described in Section 6.2.1. 
• Any CTCAE version 4.03 Grade 3 or Grade 4 non-haematological toxicity except: 
o Alopecia, 
o Grade 3 abdominal pain deemed related to the port or catheter as 
determined by the treating physician, 
o Grade 3 anorexia, 
o Grade 3 fatigue, 
o Grade 3 nausea and/or vomiting, or diarrhoea, lasting ≤48 hours with or 
without maximal medical management, 
o Grade 3 dehydration because of nausea and vomiting, 
o Grade 3 constipation, 
o Grade 3 metabolic abnormalities [hypokalaemia, hypomagnesemia, 
hypocalcaemia, hypophosphatemia]) that recovers to Grade 1 or less 
within 48 hours with or without medical management, 
• Other serious adverse events which, in the opinion of the treating investigator, 
necessitate temporary or permanent cessation of administration, 
• Treatment delays of ≥3 weeks due to any non-haematological toxicity will 
constitute a DLT. 
All patients who discontinue from the study treatment (i.e. are now Off Therapy/End of 
Therapy will progress to follow-up unless the patient withdraws consent.  
The occurrence of significant safety events as described above will require that further 
dosing of other patients be evaluated by the Investigator or Sponsor’s medical 
representative to determine study discontinuation. 
6.1.4 Discussion of Study Design 
Current literature on Phase I dose-escalation designs suggests that when the pre-clinical 
data indicate a wide therapeutic window and little expected toxicity in human patients, it 
is very reasonable to apply an aggressive dose titration (e.g., by using an accelerated 
titration design or Bayesian-based methods) (Le Tourneau et al., 2009). However, if the 
pre-clinical data were less certain about how human patients will tolerate the drug or 
predict a very narrow therapeutic window, then it would be prudent to choose a more

conservative dose escalation scheme (Le Tourneau et al., 2009). Given the good 
tolerability of this class of drugs in humans as demonstrated in the clinical trials using 
Phenoxodiol, ME-143 and ME-344 (Saif et al., 2009, Pant et al., 2014) and the excellent 
tolerability of Cantrixil in mice and dogs, this study will adopt a dose escalation scheme 
that is accelerated compared to the traditional Fibonacci sequence but starts at the 
conservative 10% of STD10 level.   
 
6.2 Study Population 
Patients with any stage of persistent or recurrent ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer or 
primary peritoneal cancer will be enrolled into this study provided that they satisfy the

6.2.3.1 Avoidance of Pregnancy 
Women of Childbearing Potential 
Pregnancy should be avoided by either true abstinence or the use two effective means of 
contraception (see Section 6.2.3.2) for the duration of the study and a total period of 
3 months after the patient has taken the last dose of Cantrixil. 
In order to include women of childbearing potential in any clinical trial, certain 
precautions pertaining to pregnancy must be taken. These will include pregnancy testing 
at screening, at the start of each cycle, and follow-up.  
Female patients who become pregnant during the study will be withdrawn. 
Women of Non-Childbearing Potential 
Female patients of non-childbearing potential are defined as; no menses for 12 months 
without an alternative medical cause, a hysterectomy within the last 12 months, bilateral 
tubal occlusion/ligation and bilateral oophorectomy. A high follicle stimulating hormone 
(FSH) level in the post-menopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal 
state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. 
However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is 
insufficient. 
6.2.3.2 Acceptable Forms of Contraception 
Highly effective methods of birth control are defined as those which result in a low 
failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly.  
Acceptable forms of effective contraception are: 
• Combined oestrogen and progestogen containing hormonal contraception (oral, 
intravaginal or transdermal) associated with inhibition of ovulation. 
• Progestogen-only hormonal contraception (oral, injectable, implantable) 
associated with inhibition of ovulation. 
• Intrauterine device. 
• Intrauterine hormone-releasing system. 
• Bilateral tubal occlusion. 
• Male sterilisation (with the appropriate post-vasectomy documentation of the 
absence of sperm in the ejaculate). For female patients on the study, the 
vasectomised male partner should be the sole partner for that patient.  
• True abstinence: When this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the 
patient. 
Periodic 
abstinence

post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of 
contraception. 
Acceptable birth control methods that result in a failure rate of more than 1% per year 
include: 
• Progesterone-only oral hormonal contraception, where inhibition of ovulation is 
not the primary mode of action 
• Barrier methods of contraception: condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or 
cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository. The use of 
barrier contraceptives should always be supplemented with the use of a 
spermicide. The following should be noted: 
− Failure rates indicate that, when used alone, the diaphragm and condom are 
not highly effective forms of contraception. Therefore, the use of additional 
spermicides does confer additional theoretical contraceptive protection.  
− However, spermicides alone are inefficient at preventing pregnancy when 
the whole ejaculate is spilled. Therefore, spermicides are not a barrier 
method of contraception and should not be used alone. 
6.2.3.3 Time Period for the Collection of Pregnancy Information 
All pregnancies in female patients receiving at least one dose of Cantrixil will be recorded 
from first dose to 3 months after the final dose. 
6.2.3.4 Follow-up in the Event of a Pregnancy 
If a female patient becomes pregnant, the pregnancy will be recorded and reported to the 
Sponsor within the same timeframe as SAEs (see Section 8.3.2). The Ethics Committee 
and the Sponsor will be informed. The patient will be asked to provide information on the 
outcome of the pregnancy, including premature termination should the case arise.  
Spontaneous miscarriage and congenital abnormalities will be reported as SAEs. 
The follow-up period will be deemed to have ended when the health status of the child 
has been determined on his/her birth. 
6.2.4 Subject Withdrawals 
The Investigator will make every reasonable attempt to ensure that all patients complete 
the study. A patient may withdraw at any time for any reason. The Investigator will 
advise the Sponsor of the withdrawal of any patient. 
A patient may be withdrawn in any of the following circumstances: 
• Adverse event(s),

• Protocol violation, 
• Recurrence of an unacceptable AE or DLT despite a Cantrixil dose level 
reduction, 
• Withdrawal of consent, 
• Termination of the study by the Investigator or Sponsor,  
• Completion of planned treatment and follow-up period. 
Patients who voluntarily withdraw are termed dropouts. 
Every effort will be made to complete all examinations scheduled on all patients who 
participate in the study, but do not complete the study according to the protocol. The 
Investigator will make every effort to contact patients lost to follow-up. 
Follow-up will continue for any patient with an ongoing AE at the time of study 
completion until the event resolves, or until the Sponsor and the Investigator agree that 
further follow-up is not necessary.

7 STUDY TREATMENT 
7.1 Investigational Product(s) 
Cantrixil is manufactured as a clear solution for infusion (200 mg). One 10 mL glass vial 
(type I glass, siliconized) with plunger stopper (Westar® Flurotec stoppers) contains 
10 mL of 20 mg/mL of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) (TRX-E-002-1) in 
20% Dexolve-7. Before administration, Cantrixil concentrate solution for infusion is 
diluted in sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%).  
Stability studies are ongoing and the expiration date of the supplied vials may be updated 
during the course of the study as further stability information is available. After dilution, 
Cantrixil for infusion is stable for 24 hours at 2°C to 8°C. To prevent microbial 
contamination, the dilution should be used immediately after preparation. For more 
information on the formulation of Cantrixil, refer to the IB. 
7.1.1 Supply, Packaging and Labelling 
Cantrixil will be supplied to the study centre by Kazia Therapeutics Limited.   
A clinical trial agreement between the study centre and Sponsor will be in place to cover 
all study related activities, prior to receipt of Cantrixil at the study centre. 
7.1.2 Storage and Handling Procedures 
Cantrixil must be stored in the original packaging protected from light in a refrigerator 
(2°C to 8°C). Do not freeze. All Cantrixil will be stored in the storage area of the study 
centre pharmacy, which is a secure, temperature controlled, locked environment with 
restricted access. 
Cantrixil should only be prepared by a pharmacist or healthcare professional trained in 
the handling of cytotoxic drugs.  
7.1.3 Accountability 
In accordance with Good Clinical Practice, the study centre will account for all supplies 
of Cantrixil. Details of receipt, storage, assembly and return will be recorded.  
All unused supplies of Cantrixil will either be destroyed by the study centre or returned to 
the study Sponsor at the end of the study in accordance with instruction by the Sponsor. If 
the Sponsor authorises destruction at the study centre, the Investigator must ensure that 
the materials are destroyed in compliance with applicable environmental regulations, 
institutional policy, and any special instructions provided. Certificates of destruction must 
be completed and sent to the Sponsor.

7.2 Dosage and Administration 
Dilution Instructions 
Cantrixil should be prepared by a pharmacist or healthcare professional trained in the 
handling of cytotoxic drugs and aseptic technique must be used; ideally an aseptic suite 
will be used to prepare Cantrixil for administration. The outer surface of the vial is not 
sterile. 
• Based on the dose, the appropriate amount of air is extracted into an appropriately 
sized syringe and needle. 
• An additional air buffer should be included in the syringe. 
• The plastic lid from the Cantrixil pre-filled vial is removed. 
• The syringe needle is inserted through the rubber stopper of the vial being careful 
not to core the rubber stopper. 
• The appropriate volume of the vial (Cantrixil concentrate plus air buffer) is 
extracted from the vial into the syringe; this process may need to be repeated if 
multiple vials are required to achieve the necessary volume of drug. 
• The syringe and needle is shaken gently to eliminate any air bubble(s) from the 
syringe. 
• Eject the entire contents of the syringe into a sterile bag of saline for infusion to 
result in a total volume of 100 mL of fluid for infusion. Note that if a patient 
weighs more than 100kg then more than 100mL of undiluted Cantrixil would be 
required to dose at 20mg/kg. Please contact the IQVIA CRA for instructions 
under these circumstances.  
• The plunger rod MUST NOT be drawn back to rinse the syringe, in order to avoid 
contamination and to ensure that the correct volume is ejected. 
• The peelable sticker, which is provided on the inner side of the Cantrixil carton 
box, displaying the text “Intraperitoneal use only.” must be attached to the saline 
infusion pack containing the diluted Cantrixil solution for intraperitoneal infusion. 
This is a precautionary measure to ensure that Cantrixil is infused only via the 
intraperitoneal route of administration.  
Method of administration 
Cantrixil must be administered via the intraperitoneal route only; an in-line filter must be 
part of the infusion set. The Cantrixil solution should be warmed before administration. 
Once warm, the infusion bag should be hung and the drug allowed to infuse under gravity 
flow. Subsequent to each Cantrixil administration up to 1 L of warmed sodium chloride,

9 mg/mL (0.9%) solution for injection shall be infused to support distribution of the 
Cantrixil solution in the abdominal cavity. 
Delivery of Cantrixil and combination chemotherapy 
All patients will have catheters/ports inserted to facilitate intraperitoneal chemotherapy 
administration. This intervention should be scheduled to occur as soon as possible after 
enrolment. All ports/catheters will be inserted by an interventional radiologist or surgeon 
and checked for patency and leakage. Patients will be referred to the interventional 
radiologist or surgeon by their treating oncologist. For intraperitoneal ports, the minimum 
period between port placement and the first administration of Cantrixil must not be 
shorter than 7 days. For other intraperitoneal access devices, the period may be shorter if 
adequate stability and/or healing of the delivery system’s insertion site is confirmed by 
the treating physician. 
Insertion of the intraperitoneal port/catheter and intraperitoneal administration of 
Cantrixil and standard chemotherapy will be done in accordance to each study centre’s 
Standard Operating Procedures and guidelines, or the recommended guidelines listed in 
Appendix B. 
The exact time that the intraperitoneal infusion has completed must be recorded. 
Cycles 3 to 8 of Parts A and B of the study will include Cantrixil in combination with a 
standard chemotherapy agent selected for the patient from Table 1 by the treating 
physician/ Investigator. Standard therapies will be administered according to the 
schedules listed in Table 1 and recorded appropriately in the patient medical record and 
study eCRFs. Before administration of the combination chemotherapy, the PK results for 
each patient from Part A/ Cycle 1 will be reviewed by the DSMC to ensure that the PK 
profile of Cantrixil is indeed compatible with the proposed schedule for the combination 
chemotherapy agent. 
With the anticipated PK profile of Cantrixil, combination chemotherapy agents should not 
be administered within 24 hours of Cantrixil dosing to avoid any adverse drug-drug 
interactions. 
Cycles of Cantrixil and the combined chemotherapy may continue until the patient fulfils 
any of the off-therapy criteria, as described in Section 6.1. It is recommended that the 
catheter/port remains in the abdominal cavity during the entire treatment period. If a 
catheter is used it is to be kept closed between infusions. 
7.3 Treatment Strategy 
The clinical staff at the study centre are all responsible for the ongoing safety and 
well-being of the subjects while they are in the study centre.

Page 48 of 92 
As this is the first time that Cantrixil is being administered to patients, the study centre 
should be equipped with the necessary facilities to enable staff to manage potentially 
life-threatening events. There should be a paging system to alert the clinical staff to any 
area in the study centre where a patient may need medical attention. In the case of an 
emergency, cardiac resuscitation trolleys are to be found in the main ward areas of the 
study centre. These trolleys contain drugs, equipment for airway insertion, circulation 
lines, defibrillation etc., together with oxygen cylinders and portable suction machines. 
There is to be a physician on site 24 hours a day. In addition, if necessary the clinical staff 
can contact further on-call physicians or public emergencies services, including the 
ambulance and hospital resuscitation team, in the event of a serious medical event. 
Equipment and emergency drugs are to be available to treat common medical 
emergencies that might occur in a Phase I study at the study centre.  
7.4 Warnings and Precautions 
As this is the first administration of Cantrixil to humans, all effects cannot be reliably 
predicted. The pre-clinical data suggest an acceptable safety margin. Facilities and staff 
for resuscitation and the treatment of other medical emergencies must be provided. 
7.5 Prior and Concomitant Medication 
In the interests of patient safety and acceptable standards of medical care the Investigator 
will be permitted to prescribe supportive care treatment(s) at his/her discretion. Palliative 
radiotherapy is permitted on this study but not within the peritoneum and also not during 
MTD cycle (Cycle 1). All treatments must be recorded in the patients’ eCRF (medication, 
dose, treatment duration and indication).  
As TRX-E-002-1, the active ingredient of Cantrixil, may inhibit CYP450 drug 
metabolising enzymes, including CYP2C9, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP2B6, CYP3A4, 
CYP2D6, CYP2A6 and CYP1A2, caution should be taken when administering drugs that 
are metabolised by CYP450 enzymes until further information is available. In particular, 
the potential interaction between TRX-E-002-1 and paclitaxel, a CYP2C9 substrate 
frequently used in the treatment of ovarian cancer, needs to be considered. As such the 
use of paclitaxel is allowed, but only 24 hours after Cantrixil administration. 
 
7.6 Method of Assigning Subjects to Treatment Groups 
At screening, potential study patients will be assigned a screening number. The screening 
number will be prefixed with SCR. Following confirmation of eligibility, at study 
treatment administration, patients will be assigned a patient number in the order in which 
they are enrolled in the study.

8 STUDY PROCEDURES 
Study assessments and procedures to be performed during the study are detailed in the 
Schedule of Assessments, Section 16; Table 4. All visits during treatment cycles 1 to 8 
have a window of +/- 1 calendar day. During follow-up, the window is extended to +/- 1 
week. The screening period is up to 28 days before the Cycle 1 Day 1 dose of Cantrixil. 
8.1 Pharmacokinetic Assessments  
Plasma Samples 
Pharmacokinetic studies will be performed on all patients. At each of the sampling 
periods a blood sample will be collected into a 4mL dipotassium EDTA tube and the 
sample processed to plasma. The plasma samples will be divided into a primary and 
back-up sample and stored frozen at -80°C. The primary sample will subsequently be 
shipped to the bioanalytical laboratory. The results of the PK analysis will not be made 
available to the Principal Investigator, Investigators or any study centre staff during the 
study. The results will be made available to the DSMC/B for the purposes of patient 
safety. Blood sample collection times are included in the Schedule of Assessments (see 
Section 16). 
Bioanalysis 
All bioanalytical procedures will be performed by TetraQ (The University of Queensland, 
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia), according to their internal quality assurance protocols 
and procedures. Concentrations of TRX-E-002-1 in plasma will be determined using a 
validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) based assay. If 
one or more of the major active metabolites of TRX-E-002-1 is known to contribute at 
least 10% of the activity or toxicity observed, the PK of that/those metabolite(s) will also 
be measured. Full details of the bioanalytical analysis will be included separately in the 
Bioanalytical Report. 
8.2 Efficacy Assessments  
The following efficacy assessments will be measured (sample collection times are 
included in the Schedule of Assessments [see Section 16]): 
• PFS will be measured as the time from treatment starts until objective tumour 
progression as defined by RECIST version 1.1 criteria or GCIG criteria (see 
Appendix C).  
• The time to paracentesis will be measured as the time from treatment begin until 
the next paracentesis event.

• The volume of paracentesis will be measured by estimating the volume of 
malignant ascites drained at each event. 
• Disease response will be measured using RECIST version 1.1 criteria; the 
Gynecological Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) response criteria (described in Rustin et 
al., 2011), which incorporates RECIST 1.1 and CA-125 measurements, may also 
be used to define disease response during Follow-up. Although the GCIG 
response criteria incorporating CA-125 measurements has been used successfully 
in clinical trials for recurrent ovarian cancer (Alexandre et al., 2012), patients are 
not evaluable for CA-125 if there has been a surgical or medical interference with 
their peritoneum during the past 28 days. Only the baseline and Follow-up 
measurements of CA-125, therefore, may be reliably used for determining 
response and progression in this study. During Follow-up, the GCIG criteria, 
summarised in Appendix C, may be used to define response and progression.  
• Concentration of CA-125 in peripheral blood will be assayed in local hospital 
laboratories at baseline using locally validated assays at baseline and then weekly 
during treatment, at the End of Treatment and during Follow-up. These 
measurements may not be used to determine progression or disease response until 
28 days after the last IP chemotherapy administration.  
The following exploratory endpoints will also be assessed: 
• Enumeration of CETC in peripheral blood and malignant ascites (if present) will 
be assayed using the MAINTRAC® CETC Count method by Genostics or similar 
methodology. This method uses a fluorochrome-labelled antibody against surface-
epithelial antigen (EpCam) to tag CETCs. Image analysis allows CETC numbers 
to be calculated in relation to blood volume over the course of treatment. Samples 
will be assayed at baseline, at the end of Cycle 2 and at the End of Therapy for 
patients in Part A of the study only.  
• Clonogenicity of CETCs in peripheral blood and malignant ascites (if present) 
will be measured using the MAINTRAC® Tumour Sphere Units assay by 
Genostics or similar methodology. Samples will be assayed at baseline, at the end 
of Cycle 2 and at the End of Therapy for patients in Part A of the study only. 
• Expression of stem cell markers in the isolated colonies will be measured using 
labelled antibodies and scanning fluorescent microscopy techniques by Genostics 
or similar facility. 
• Efficacy of twice weekly doses of Cantrixil as a monotherapy and combination 
therapy.

8.3 Safety Assessments  
8.3.1 Adverse Events 
Definitions: 
Adverse Event (AE) 
Any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject 
administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a 
causal relationship with this treatment. 
An AE can therefore be any clinically significant sign (including an abnormal laboratory 
finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a 
medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. 
Patients will be followed for 3 months after discontinuing therapy or until death, 
whichever occurs first. Patients removed from study for unacceptable AEs will be 
followed until resolution or stabilisation of the AE. 
Note that for this study, disease progression will not be defined as an adverse event. 
Disease progression will be recorded as a participant outcome but not recorded on the 
adverse event log.  
Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) 
Any untoward and unintended response in a patient to an investigational medicinal 
product which is related to any dose administered to that patient. 
Serious Adverse Event (SAE) 
An adverse reaction is ‘serious’ if it: 
• Results in death; 
• Is life-threatening; 
• Requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation, excluding 
hospitalisation for planned therapy or convenience of the participant; 
• Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; 
• Consists of a congenital anomaly or birth defect; 
• Is a medically important event.

Page 53 of 92 
Unexpected Adverse Reactions 
An adverse reaction is ‘unexpected’ if its nature and severity are not consistent with the 
information about the medicinal product in question set out: 
• In the case of a product with a marketing authorisation, in the summary of product 
characteristics for that product; 
• In the case of any other investigational medicinal product, in the IB relating to the 
trial in question. 
8.3.2 Reporting of Adverse Events 
All adverse events must be fully recorded in the patient’s eCRF from signing of informed 
consent until 30 days after the last dose of Cantrixil, whether or not they are considered to 
be drug-related. Adverse events that occur within the second and third month of the 
follow-up period should only be recorded if the investigator deems them to be related to 
the investigational agent. Signs and symptoms of each AE should be described in detail: 
onset time and date, offset time and date, description of event, severity, relationship to 
investigational product, action taken and outcome. The descriptions and grading scales 
found in the revised NCI-CTCAE version 4.03 will be utilised for AE reporting. 
Adverse events should be followed until recovery to the normal state has been achieved. 
In the event of a patient not returning to the study centre, the outcome of this event will 
be recorded as lost at follow-up. 
Reporting of SAEs and SUSARs 
SAEs occurring from the time of informed consent will be reported to the Sponsor’s 
medical representative within 24 hours of the Investigator becoming aware of the event. 
The Investigator will be requested to complete a separate SAE reporting form in addition 
to the information in the eCRF. 
A suspected unexpected serious adverse reaction (SUSAR) which is fatal or 
life-threatening must be reported to the competent authority and Ethics Committee 
immediately (within 7 days or according to local reporting requirements)) after the 
Sponsor became aware of the event. Any additional information must be reported within 
eight days of sending the first report.  
A SUSAR which is not fatal or life-threatening must be reported to the competent 
authority and Ethics Committee as soon as possible (within 15 days or according to local 
reporting requirements) after the Sponsor becomes aware of the event. 
8.3.3 Categorisation of Adverse Events 
Adverse events will be graded according to the NCI-CTCAE version 4.03. Events which 
do not fit into any CTCAE category will be categorised as follows:

1 
Mild: 
Mild events are those which are easily tolerated with 
no disruption of normal daily activity. 
2 
Moderate: 
Moderate events are those which cause sufficient 
discomfort to interfere with daily activity. 
3 
Severe: 
Severe events are those which incapacitate and 
prevent usual activity. 
4 
Life-threatening: 
Life-threatening events have extremely serious 
consequences and urgent intervention is indicated to 
avoid a fatal outcome. 
5 
Death: 
Death related to an AE 
8.3.4 Causal Relationship Assessment 
The Principal Investigator will assess causal relationship between the study treatment and 
each AE, and answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the question: ‘Do you consider that there is a 
reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the study treatment?’. For 
SAEs causal relationship will also be assessed for study treatment, other medication and 
study procedures. 
8.3.5 Action Taken 
Action taken will be defined as: 
• None; 
• Dosing interrupted; 
• Dosing stopped; 
• Infusion delay. 
8.3.6 Outcome 
Outcome will be defined as: 
• Not recovered/not resolved; 
• Recovered/resolved; 
• Recovered/resolved with sequelae; 
• Fatal; 
• Unknown/lost to follow-up.

8.3.7 Coding of Adverse Events 
All AEs will be coded using the current version of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory 
Activities (MedDRA). Adverse events will be categorised for severity according to the 
NCI-CTCAE Version 4.03. 
8.3.8 Pregnancy Reporting 
All pregnancies should be reported by the Investigator within 24 hours of notification on 
a Pregnancy Report Form.  
The outcome of all pregnancies (spontaneous miscarriage, elective termination, ectopic 
pregnancy, normal birth or congenital abnormality) should be followed up and 
documented accordingly on the Pregnancy Report Form. 
Although pregnancy itself is not regarded as an AE, congenital abnormalities/birth defects 
and spontaneous miscarriages should be reported and handled as SAEs. Elective abortions 
without complications should not be handled as AEs.

Additional and repeat testing may be performed at the discretion of the Investigator. 
Unless otherwise specified in the Laboratory Manual all clinical laboratory tests will be 
performed by an accredited local laboratory near or at the study centre.   
8.5 Clinical Safety Assessments 
Assessment times are included in the Schedule of Assessments (see Section 16). 
8.5.1 Physical Examination 
Physical examinations will be performed by a physician and will include the examination 
of the following: general appearance, head, eyes, ears, nose, throat, chest/ respiratory, 
heart/ cardiovascular, gastrointestinal/ liver, musculoskeletal/ extremities, dermatological/ 
skin, thyroid/ neck, lymph nodes, neurological/ psychiatric. Complete physical 
examinations will be performed at screening and the final study visit. Symptom-driven 
physical examinations will be performed where indicated at other specified time points, 
per the Schedule of Assessments (Table 4). 
8.5.2 Vital Signs 
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP), pulse rate, respiratory rate and body 
temperature will be recorded as specified in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 4) after 
the subject has been in a supine position for at least 5 minutes. Blood pressure, pulse rate, 
and respiratory rate should be obtained at a comfortable room temperature, with the 
subject’s arm unconstrained by clothing or other material. All measurements will be 
obtained from the same arm and, using an automatic instrument with a digital readout, 
throughout the study. All readings must be recorded in the eCRF. Additional readings 
may be taken at the discretion of the Investigator. 
8.5.3 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) 
Computerised 12-lead ECG recordings will be obtained according to the Schedule of 
Assessments (Table 4). Each lead shall be recorded for at least 3 beats at a paper speed of 
25 mm/sec. Subjects will rest in a supine position for at least 5 minutes prior to 
recordings. Recordings will be obtained in triplicate. 
The following parameters will be recorded: rhythm, ventricular rate, PR interval, QRS 
duration and QT. The RR value will also be recorded so that the QTcF values can be 
calculated automatically by formula.  
Where the ECG is recorded as abnormal, the abnormality will be specified. 
8.5.4 Medical History 
A complete medical history will include evaluation (past or present) of the following:  
general, head and neck, eyes, ears, nose throat, chest/ respiratory, heart/ cardiovascular, 
gastrointestinal/ liver, gynaecological/ urogenital, musculoskeletal/ extremities, skin,

neurological/ psychiatric, endocrine/ metabolic, hematologic/ lymphatic, allergies/ drug 
sensitivities, past surgeries and clinical outcomes, substance abuse or any other diseases 
or disorders. All prior cancer treatments and the clinical outcomes will also be recorded. 
8.6 Follow-up Assessments 
Patients will be followed for 3 months after discontinuing therapy or until death or 
consent withdrawal, whichever occurs first (see Schedule of Assessments in Follow-up, 
Table 6). Patients withdrawing consent for the study, who have study-related AEs, are 
encouraged to continue visits until resolution or stabilisation of the AEs. Patients that are 
beginning on another treatment therapy before the end of the follow-up period must be 
formally withdrawn from this study. In this case, safety data should be collected until the 
day before the first study intervention on the new study.

9  DATA COLLECTION 
A 21 CFR part 11 compliant Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system will be used for this 
study. Electronic CRFs will be utilised. An eCRF is required to be completed for each 
subject who provides informed consent. The completed eCRFs are the sole property of 
the Sponsor and should not be made available in any form to third parties, except for 
authorized representatives of the Sponsor or appropriate regulatory authorities, without 
written permission from the Sponsor. The Investigator has ultimate responsibility for the 
collection and reporting of all clinical, safety and laboratory data entered on the eCRFs 
and any other data collection forms (source documents) and ensuring that they are 
accurate, 
authentic/original, 
attributable, 
complete, 
consistent, 
legible, 
timely 
(contemporaneous), enduring and available when required. Any corrections to entries 
made in the source documents must be dated, initialled and explained (if necessary) and 
should not obscure the original entry. 
In most cases, the source documents are the study centre or the physician's subject chart 
or patient medical record. In these cases, data collected on the eCRFs must match the data 
in those charts or medical records. All source documents will be retained by the study 
centre.  
In some cases, the eCRF, or part of the eCRF, may also serve as source documents. In 
these cases, a document should be available at the study centre as well as at the Sponsor 
clearly identifying those data that will be recorded in the eCRF, and for which the eCRF 
will stand as the source document 
Photocopies of completed source documents will be provided only if essential (i.e. for 
regulatory purposes) at the request of the Sponsor. 
The informed consent will be kept at the study centre with a copy of the completed source 
documents in the appropriate Investigator site file folder provided, or a note to indicate 
where the records can be located. All records should be kept in conformance to applicable 
national laws and regulations. 
Validity and consistency of data will be checked by employing pre-programmed data 
validation rules that will be applied to the data extracted from the EDC system during the 
course of the study. The data management team will raise queries in the EDC system to 
resolve discrepancies. The Investigator must verify that all data entries in the eCRFs are 
accurate and correct. After completion of the study and when all collected data is 
validated, the database will be locked, pursuant to the prior approval by the Sponsor. 
Final data will be extracted from the EDC and delivered to the Sponsor in the form of 
SAS® datasets. A PDF copy of the eCRF will be produced for each study subject and 
included in the final delivery.

All eCRF entries, corrections, and alterations must be made by the Investigator or other, 
authorised, study centre personnel and only by individuals who have received training on 
the EDC system. Study centre personnel may be allowed access to the system only after 
training is completed. Training must be documented and a log of all EDC users and their 
rights within the system be maintained. 
Adverse events will be coded using the current MedDRA thesaurus; concomitant 
medication will be coded using the World Health Organisation (WHO) Drug Dictionary

10  EVALUATION OF STUDY DATA 
10.1  Evaluation of Pharmacokinetic Parameters 
Summary statistics will be presented for Cantrixil (TRX-E-002-1) plasma concentrations 
at each scheduled time point by dose cohort (for example, mean, geometric mean, 
median, standard deviation [SD], standard error of the mean [SEM], coefficient of 
variation [CV] and range). Summary statistics will also be presented by dose cohort for 
all Cantrixil PK parameters, including  
• Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last 
quantifiable concentration (AUC0-last), 
• Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and 
• Time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax), plus if estimable:  
• Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to 
infinity (AUC0-∞), 
• Apparent terminal half-life (t1/2), 
• Clearance (CL) and  
• Volume of distribution (Vd).  
All concentrations below the limit of quantification and/or missing data will be labelled 
as such in the concentration data listings. Concentrations below the limit of quantification 
which are after Cmax will be treated as missing in summary statistics and for the 
calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be 
determined by standard non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analyses using Phoenix 64 
WinNonLin software. 
The PK assessment results will be described in a PK study report prepared by TetraQ at 
completion of the study. 
10.2  Evaluation of Pharmacodynamic/Efficacy Measures 
Not applicable. 
10.3  Evaluation of Safety 
The safety evaluation will include vital signs, ECG parameters, clinical laboratory tests 
(haematology, serum biochemistry, coagulation, urinalysis and urine microscopy [if 
clinically indicated]) and AEs.

11  STATISTICAL METHODS  
The default summary statistics for continuous variables include number of contributing 
observations (n), mean, SD, median, minimum and maximum.   
For categorical variables, the number (n) and percentage (%) (the percentage of subjects 
in each category relative to the total number of subjects in the relevant analysis 
population or relative to the total number of subjects in the relevant analysis population, 
with assessments available [where appropriate]) in each category will be the default 
summary presentation.  
Unless otherwise specified, “Baseline” is defined as the last observed value of the 
parameter of interest prior to the first intake of study medication (this includes 
unscheduled visits). For numerical variables, change from Baseline will be calculated as 
the difference between the value of interest and the corresponding baseline value. 
Unless otherwise specified, all statistical estimates will be provided at the 5% 
significance level. In case of normality assumption violation, an appropriate 
non-parametric method will be used for analysis, where applicable. 
All data will be presented in by-subject listings. 
The statistical analysis will be performed using SAS® Version 9.2 or higher. 
All details regarding the statistical analysis and the preparation of tables, listings and 
figures will be described in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) prepared by IQVIA and 
approved by the Sponsor before database lock. 
11.1  Sample Size Determination 
For this Phase I dose-escalation study to determine the MTD of Cantrixil as a 
monotherapy and to investigate the safety and tolerability as combined with standard 
chemotherapy, an appropriate sample size is not statistically determined.  
The dose-escalation Cycle 1/Part A of the study is designed to determine the MTD of 
Cantrixil as a monotherapy in patients with ovarian cancer, Fallopian tube cancer or 
primary peritoneal cancer. The planned dose levels include 0.24, 0.6, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10 and, 
20 mg/kg. From initial dose level, single patient cohorts will be used until an AE is 
observed during Part A/Cycle 1 that meets the definition of a DLT or warrants further 
examination in the opinion of the Principal Investigator and the DSMC/B (see Section 
6.1) and then the dose escalation will follow the 3+3 dose escalation model to treat up to 
3 to 6 patients at each escalating dose level. After Cycle 2, which is another cycle of 
Cantrixil monotherapy, patients will continue at the same dose level combined with 
standard chemotherapy through Cycles 3 to 8 in Part A of the study. Patients who don’t 
experience a DLT but who do not complete Cycle 1 of therapy will be replaced. To

establish MTD in Part A/Cycle 1 of the study, up to 42 patients will be enrolled. An 
expanded cohort with 12 patients will be enrolled and treated at MTD in Part B of the 
study.  
The total sample size may be up to 54 patients (up to 42 in Part A, 12 in Part B) enrolled 
into this study.   
11.2  Subject Populations for Analyses 
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) population:  
The MTD population will include all patients who experienced DLTs in Cycle 1/Part A, 
and those who received all three weekly doses of study treatment in Cycle 1/Part A. The 
safety data regarding the Cycle 1/Part A will be used to determine MTD from this 
analysis population. 
Safety (SAF) population:  
The SAF population will include all enrolled patients who receive at least 1 dose of study 
treatment. All safety analyses will be conducted on this population.  
Pharmacokinetic (PK) population:  
The PK population will include all SAF patients who with at least 1 PK assessment. All 
PK analyses will be conducted on this population.   
Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population:  
The ITT population will include all enrolled patients who receive at least 1 dose of study 
treatment and from whom at least 1 post-baseline efficacy measurement is obtained. All 
efficacy analyses will be conducted on this population and will be based on the actual 
dose level/single-weekly or twice weekly doses of Cantrixil at which each patient has 
been treated. 
The number and percentage of the patients included in the analysis populations will be 
reported in a table showing the reason of exclusion for all patients enrolled into study. A 
listing of reasons of exclusion from analysis population will be provided. Patients who 
were screened but never started a dose will be listed. Screening failures will not be 
included in any of the summary tables. 
11.3  Pharmacokinetic Analysis 
Summary statistics will also be presented by dose cohort for all Cantrixil PK parameters 
described in Section 10.1.  
The PK assessment results will be described in a PK study report prepared by TetraQ at 
completion of the study.

11.4  Efficacy Analysis 
Disease response will be measured using RECIST version 1.1 criteria; disease response 
may also be assessed using the Gynecological Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) response 
criteria that incorporates CA-125 measurements during Follow-up (see Appendix C). 
Assessment of target lesions response (Complete Response; Partial Response; Progressive 
Disease; Stable Disease), non-target lesions response (Complete Response; Stable 
Disease; Partial Response) and CA-125 expression changes will be summarised using 
frequency and percentage of patients in each response category by dose cohort. 
Responses will be reported separately for both RECIST 1.1 and CA-125 criteria.  
The Kaplan-Meier survival curves and 25th, 50th (median), and 75th percentiles will be 
provided along with their 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for PFS.  
The time to paracentesis data will also be summarised as another time-to-event endpoint. 
The volume of abdominal fluid will be summarised using descriptive statistics by dose 
cohort. 
11.5  Exploratory Analysis 
Enumeration and Clonogenicity of CETC in peripheral blood and malignant ascites will 
be performed at baseline, at the end of Cycle 2 and at the End of Therapy. Continuous 
response data (CETC numeration) will be summarised for each dose cohort. For 
continuous data like CETCs, number of colonies and number of colonies positive per mL 
of blood and/or per CETC for a stem cell marker, descriptive statistics will be provided.  
More details on analysis method or data presentation will be described in the SAP.  
11.6  Safety Data Analysis 
Demographic and baseline disease characteristics data including age, gender, height, 
weight, tumour type, medical condition, etc. will be listed individually by patient and 
summarised descriptively by dose cohort using descriptive statistics (number of 
observations, median, minimum, maximum, mean and SD). Categorical variables 
(gender, ethnicity and race) will be summarised using frequencies and percentage. The 
SAF population will be used. 
Maximum tolerated dose 
For determination of the MTD, individual subject data from the dose escalation part 
(Cycle 1/Part A) will be reported. In addition, for the final statistical analysis, the 
following will be analysed: 
• At each dose level, the number and proportion of subjects in the DLT population 
who experience a DLT during the first DLT evaluation period (Cycle 1/Part A).

• At each dose level, the number and proportion of treatment emergent AEs 
(TEAEs) experienced by subjects in the DLT population during the first DLT 
evaluation period (Cycle 1/Part A). 
The MTD will be determined according to the dose-escalation plan described in 
Section 6.1.2 (Table 3).  
The MTD is defined as the highest dose level at which no more than 1 subject out of 
6 subjects treated in a cohort and evaluable for DLT determination experiences a DLT. 
Safety and tolerability 
Safety analyses will be performed on the SAF population. 
Adverse events will be coded using MedDRA and will be summarised by System Organ 
Class (SOC), Preferred Term, and dose cohort. Severity of AEs will be graded using the 
CTCAE version 4.03 toxicity grading scale. Adverse events will be further summarised 
by maximum severity and relationship to study treatment. Prior and concomitant 
medications will be summarised by dose cohort. Standard chemotherapy medications will 
be separately summarised by dose cohort. Safety laboratory tests and vital signs 
assessments, will be summarised by dose cohort using statistics for continuous or 
categorical data, as appropriate.   
Dose limiting toxicities, safety and tolerability data will also be separately summarised 
for Cycles 1 and 2, and Cycles 3 to 8 at MTD from Part A and Part B study, as 
appropriate. A detailed SAP will be finalised prior to clinical database lock of the study. 
Concomitant Medications 
All medications will be coded using the WHO-DD and Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical 
(ATC) system. Each medication will be classified as prior medication if it is stopped prior 
to the first dose of Cantrixil, or as concomitant medication if it is on-going at the time of 
the first dose or is started after the first dose of Cantrixil. Prior and concomitant 
medications will be summarised by dose cohort by ATC level 2 categories and preferred 
name. 
Standard chemotherapy medications and regimen of patients will be summarised and 
listed separately. 
Laboratory abnormalities 
All laboratory values will be converted into SI units, as appropriate, and the severity 
grade calculated using CTCAE, version 4.03. Parameters for which a grading does not 
exist will be classified into low/normal/high group by means of laboratory normal ranges. 
For each laboratory test (e.g. haematology, biochemistry) a listing of laboratory values 
will be provided by laboratory parameter, patient and dose cohort. The frequency of

notable lab abnormalities (i.e. newly occurring CTCAE Grade 3 or Grade 4 laboratory 
toxicities), will be displayed by parameter, cycle, and dose cohort. A separate listing will 
display notable laboratory abnormalities (i.e., newly occurring CTCAE Grade 3 or 
Grade 4 laboratory toxicities).  
Laboratory data will be summarised by presenting grade shift tables for those parameters 
for which CTCAE version 4.03 allows classification. All remaining data will be 
summarised by presenting shift tables based on normal ranges. Laboratory data will also 
be displayed by presenting descriptive statistics of raw data and change from baseline 
values (means, medians, standard deviations, ranges). 
Vital Signs 
Vital signs results will be presented using descriptive statistics of raw data and change 
from baseline values (means, medians, standard deviations, ranges). 
Physical Examinations 
Physical examination results will be summarised using frequency tables for 
normal/abnormal results per visits.

# The screening period is up to 28 days before the Cycle 1 Day 1 dose of Cantrixil.  
a 
These assessments may coincide, for example if patient already has a port then the pre-study/eligibility assessments may occur on the same day as the first day of 
Cantrixil administration. Otherwise, it is anticipated that there will be a delay between the pre-study/eligibility assessments and the first day of therapy to allow for 
the placement of the port/catheter. 
b 
Radiologic evaluations and subsequent tumour measurements should be conducted at the end of each six-week period, coinciding with the end of each two cycles of 
therapy. The subsequent cycle of therapy should not proceed until this assessment has been evaluated because clear tumour progression may preclude further 
treatment on this study. The PI can use the imaging modality of preference (either MRI or CT) but the same modality must be used for all time-points. 
c 
Pharmacokinetic samples are collected in these weeks per the schedule described in Table 5. 
d 
The “End of Therapy/Off Therapy” assessments may coincide with the assessments performed at one of the other designated time-points. 
e  
Biomarker samples are collected at screening, end of Cycle 2 (most conveniently collected on Day 1 of Cycle 3 before IP administration) and End of Therapy, 
during Part A of the study only.

APPENDIX B: PROCEDURES FOR THE PLACEMENT OF 
THE INTRAPERITONEAL PORT/ CATHETER AND 
ADMINISTRATION OF INTRAPERITONEAL THERAPY 
This appendix is included as a guideline to aid investigators and does not have to be 
followed explicitly. Each site should rather follow their own standard operating 
procedures for the placement of ports or catheters for intraperitoneal chemotherapy and 
intraperitoneal chemotherapy administration. 
The following device specifications have been adapted from recommendations of the 
Gynaecological Oncology Group recommendations for intraperitoneal chemotherapy: 
“Silicone catheters are preferred. Controversy exists between the use of venous 
9.6 silicone catheters or silicone intraperitoneal ports with fenestrations. Bardport silicone 
peritoneal catheter 14.3 Fr (Reorder number 0603006) that is without a cuff, is the 
preferred intraperitoneal catheter. This has been FDA approved for use in intraperitoneal 
therapy. The 9.6 Fr single lumen intravenous access device, if made with silicone is 
preferred by many surgeons. Brand names are different for different institutions due to 
contracting, and these specifications are intended to be helpful but not limiting. 
Equivalent or similar devices are acceptable if made from silicone, large enough not to 
kink, and without a Dacron cuff. Examples of these include: Bardport MRI Implanted 
Port reorder number 0602680 attachable 9.6 Fr open ended single lumen silicone venous 
catheter. Titanium Dome Implanted Port with attachable 9.6 Fr open ended Single lumen 
venous catheter. Reorder number 0602870. Bard Access Systems 5425 West Amelia 
Earhart Drive Salt Lake City Utah 84116 1-800 545-0890.  
Procedure at the time of a planned laparotomy:  
1. At the completion of the laparotomy just prior to closing the incision, make a 
3 to 4cm incision over the lower costal margin on the side where the catheter is to 
be placed. The incision is carried down to the fascia using blunt and sharp 
dissection.  
2. A subcutaneous pocket superior to the incision is fashioned slightly larger than the 
diameter of the portal.  
3. Select an area several centimetres below and lateral to the umbilicus as the 
peritoneal entrance site of the catheter. Prepare a subcutaneous tunnel from the 
portal pocket to the site in the peritoneal cavity. You want the catheter to enter the 
abdomen; draw the catheter through the subcutaneous tissue into the abdomen 
using a tunnelling device.  
4. Attach the catheter to the portal as per manufacturer’s instructions, and suture the 
portal in place with permanent suture (i.e., 2-0 prolene) to the fascia overlying the

rib cage. Be sure the chemotherapy nurses will be able to feel the port and 
stabilise it on the chest wall for easy access with Huber needle in the future. Be 
sure the Huber needle will not have to go through the wound to access the port; 
the port should lie superior to the port incision site.  
5. After flushing the system with heparin, 100 units per mL, to determine that flow is 
not obstructed and no leaks exist, place the distal end of the catheter to the desired 
infusion site, with at least 10 cm of free catheter in the abdomen. Do not allow the 
catheter to be long enough to reach the bladder, vagina or rectum.  
6. Close incisions and place a Huber needle trans-dermally into the portal if the 
catheter is going to be irrigated in the immediate postoperative period. Wait a 
minimum of 24 hours prior to treating patient after intraperitoneal port placement, 
and wait for return of gastrointestinal function (regular diet tolerated and normal 
bowel movement) after major laparotomy.  
Surgical implantation with mini lap. (Video available at SGO.org and GOG.org):  
1. Select a site several centimetres below and lateral to the umbilicus and make an 
incision through skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia. Separate rectus muscle and 
enter peritoneum. Knowledge of the previous surgical resections and current 
anatomy will assist in choosing location.  
2. Pull the catheter from subcutaneous tissue into the peritoneal cavity through the 
full thickness of the abdominal wall (fascia, muscle, peritoneum) from an adjacent 
location (not through the incision) while under direct visualisation to prevent 
injury to bowel. This can be accomplished with a tonsil clamp or tunnelling 
device.  
3. The catheter must be left in the abdominal cavity at least 10 cm to prevent 
migration out of the peritoneal cavity.  
4. The opposite end of the catheter is tunnelled up to the costal margin where it is 
attached to an implanted port as described above. The catheter is left long enough 
to not retract, but not long enough to reach vagina, rectum or bladder. It is 
generally left at least 10 cm into the peritoneal cavity.  
Surgical implantation using laparoscopy:  
1. Laparoscopic placement of an intraperitoneal catheter is usually feasible from a 
left upper quadrant approach. Knowledge of the previous procedures performed 
(i.e. bowel resections and re-anastomosis sites) and location of the tumour will 
inform the surgeon as to the best approach and what locations to avoid.

2. Once the peritoneal cavity can be visualised, a second puncture can be used to 
gain access to the peritoneal cavity for the catheter, and then the catheter tunnelled 
in the subcutaneous tissues to the planned port pocket.  
Interventional radiology can place intraperitoneal ports in some institutions. This requires 
a great communication between the treating oncologist and the radiologist to get the best 
result. Knowledge of the anatomy and best sites for peritoneal access should be 
communicated. CT or ultrasound directed access to the peritoneal cavity can allow 
catheter placement and then subcutaneous tunnelling to the lower chest wall for 
appropriate port placement and catheter attachment. 
Administration of intraperitoneal therapy: 
Treatment may be administered on an outpatient basis if deemed appropriate by the 
Investigator. To allow for PK sampling, the infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 should begin 
early in the day. Scheduling Day 1 to occur on a Monday is ideal, particularly for the later 
cycles, so that dosing visits are always on weekdays.  
Cantrixil must be delivered only via the intraperitoneal route. Cantrixil will be ordered, 
stored, prepared and handled as described in Section 7.1.2. It will be delivered as a saline 
infusion at a dose allocated to the patient upon enrolment. The timing of the preparation 
of Cantrixil is critical. Both Cantrixil and any subsequent distributional infusion must be 
at body temperature before administration. Pharmacy should be notified when the patient 
is present in the infusion suite so that they can prepare any appropriate pre-medications. 
The choice and administration of any pre-medications, including anti-emetics and 
analgesia, should follow local standard operating procedures for intraperitoneal 
chemotherapy. Cantrixil is a CYP450 inhibitor; this must be kept in mind when selecting 
concomitant medications.  
Whilst the pre-medications are being administered, the pharmacy can prepare the 100 mL 
Cantrixil infusion and the extra 1 L saline infusion and warm the solutions according to 
institutional practice, for example using a warm water bath or blood warmer.  
For accession, the patient should be placed supine in semi-Fowler’s position on a 
stretcher, adjustable bed or Gurney. Emla 2.5% cream may be applied to the port site and 
covered with occlusive dressing one hour before accessing the port. The reservoir should 
be accessed under sterile technique, generally using a right-angle, non-coring, 20 gauge, 
1.25-inch gripper-type Huber needle and flushed. A longer needle may be necessary for 
patients with thick subcutaneous tissue on the chest wall. The port should flush easily 
without pain or oedema at the site. Difficult or uncertain accessions can be verified by 
anterior-posterior and lateral radiographs. The needle can then be secured using a 
temporary adhesive dressing. The head of the bed should be raised no higher than 
30 degrees to prevent dislodgement of the needle during infusion. A flat position during 
infusion may cause increased pressure on the diaphragm causing respiratory

compromise/GI discomfort in patients receiving intraperitoneal infusions. The 100 mL 
Cantrixil solution should be infused first under gravity. Infusion pumps are not 
recommended because they can cause needle dislocation (Hoskins, 2006). Then, to 
facilitate distribution, up to 1 L of warmed normal saline is infused to patient tolerance.  
The position of the needle in the reservoir should be carefully determined and recorded at 
15-minute intervals. Ambulation is restricted as much as possible during infusion to avoid 
dislodgment of the needle. Patients should be encouraged to use the toilet before the 
procedure begins. If the bedpan is required, then the nurse or Investigator should check 
the proper needle position is maintained (GOG). 
The infusion nurse or physician should be aware of and check for the following 
complications which may arise during administration: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, 
gastro-oesophageal reflux, pain in the abdomen, chest or port site, excess abdominal 
distention, tenderness, fever, chills, dyspnoea, changes in mental status, tremors, and 
weakness. Most patients will experience some degree of abdominal bloating and 
discomfort during the infusion. The nurse or physician is responsible for determining 
when that discomfort is appropriate to the process and when it signifies that there may be 
a problem. In the former case, the physician or nurse should be able to provide 
reassurance that these sensations are to be expected and will resolve on conclusion of the 
infusion. In the latter, the physician or nurse should be able to quickly and easily notify 
the Principal Investigator of the situation. 
After the infusion is complete, the infusion nurse or physician should reposition the 
patient every 15 minutes for 1 hour in the sequence listed below: 
• 
Head up (30°), 
• 
Slight Trendelenburg, 
• 
Right lateral, 
• 
Left lateral. 
(GOG; Hoskins, 2006). If possible, the bed can also be alternated between the 
Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positions to facilitate distribution of the 
infusion.  
After removing the Huber needle from the intraperitoneal port site, a pressure dressing 
should be placed over the port site to prevent reflux of the infusion from the port. Patients 
can remove the pressure dressing 12 to 24 hours after intraperitoneal infusion

APPENDIX C: EVALUATION OF RESPONSE AND 
PROGRESSION USING GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER 
INTERGROUP (GCIG) RESPONSE CRITERIA 
The Gynecological Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) has published a detailed guidance on the 
criteria that could be used in clinical trial protocols to define progression and response in 
recurrent disease using RECIST 1.1 together with the serum marker CA-125 (Rustin et 
al., 2011). The definitions have been validated and the key summary tables have been 
reproduced below for guidance. 
Definition of a Response 
A CA-125 response is defined as at least a 50% reduction in CA-125 levels from a pre-
treatment sample. The response must be confirmed and maintained for at least 28 days. 
Patients are only evaluable if they have a baseline measurement that is at least twice the 
upper limit of normal and with 2 weeks of treatment start. The date when CA-125 levels 
is first reduced by 50% is the date of the CA-125 response.  
To calculate CA-125 responses, the following rules must apply: 
1. Intervening samples and the 28-day confirmatory sample must be less than or 
equal to the previous sample (within an assay variability of 10%).  
2. The same validated assay must be used for each patient 
3. Patients are not evaluable by CA-125 if there has been a medical and/or surgical 
interference with their peritoneum during the previous 28 days. For this study, this 
means that patients are only evaluable for response based on CA-125 levels during 
the Follow-up period. 
CA-125 may be used to evaluate patients without initial measurable disease;

Table 7 summarises the algorithm for determining the best overall response in patients 
without initial measurable disease and who are evaluable according to the definition 
above. Patients that have measurable disease at study entry can be evaluated during 
Follow-up using both RECIST 1.1 and CA-125 criteria as summarised in Table 8. In 
patients who have measurable disease by both criteria, the date of response will be the 
date of the earlier of the 2 events.

Definition of Progression 
According to the GCIG progression criteria, patients are not evaluable by CA-125 if there 
has been a medical/or surgical interference with their peritoneum during the previous 28 
days. Hence, during the treatment period of this study, patients will not be defined as 
having progressive disease due to rising CA-125 levels alone. During Follow-up, patients 
may become evaluable for CA-125 and then the definition in Table 10 below may be 
used. In assigning the date of progression, PD by objective tumour size should always 
take precedence over CA-125 should it occur first; although during Follow-up a patient 
may be declared to have PD on the basis of either the objective RECIST 1.1 criteria or the 
CA-125 criteria. The date of progression will be the date of the earlier of the 2 events if 
both are documented.
