a study of bbi608 and bbi503 administered in combination to adult patients with advanced solid tumors

Conditions: Cancer; Advanced Solid Tumors

Summary: this is an open label, multi-center, phase 1 study of bbi608 and bbi503 administered orally in combination to patients with advanced solid tumors. the primary goal is to determine the safety, tolerability, and recommended phase ii dose (rp2d) of the combination regimen.

patients with hepatocellular carcinoma may enroll provided they have a platelet count ≥ 75 x 10\^9/l. 14. life expectancy ≥ 3 months exclusion criteria 1. anti-cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or investigational agents within 7 days of first dose of bbi608 and bbi503. patients may begin bbi608 and bbi503 on a date determined by the investigator and medical monitor for the sponsor after a minimum of 7 days since last receiving anti-cancer treatment, provided that all treatment-related adverse effects have resolved or have been deemed irreversible 2. surgery within 4 weeks prior to first dose 3. any known untreated brain metastases. treated subjects must be stable 4 weeks after completion of treatment for brain metastases and image documented stability is required. patients must have no clinical symptoms from brain metastases and must be either off of steroids or on a stable dose of steroids for at least 2 weeks prior to protocol enrollment. patients with known leptomeningeal metastases are excluded, even if treated 4. pregnant or breastfeeding 5. significant gastrointestinal disorder(s) (e.g., active crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, or a history of extensive gastric resection and/or small intestinal resection) such that absorption of oral medications is impaired. 6. unable or unwilling to swallow bbi608 and/or bbi503 capsules daily 7. prior treatment with either bbi608 or bbi503 8. uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, clinically significant non-healing or healing wounds, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, significant pulmonary disease (shortness of breath at rest or on mild exertion), uncontrolled infection or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements 9. subjects with a history of another primary cancer, with the exception of: a) curatively resected non-melanoma skin cancer; b) curatively treated cervical carcinoma in situ; and c) other primary solid tumors (with no known active disease present) that, in the opinion of the investigator, will not affect patient outcome in the setting of the current diagnosis 1. patients with adenocarcinoma of unknown primary are excluded 2. patients with a diagnosis of two co-existing primary cancers are excluded 10. abnormal ecgs that are clinically significant such as qt prolongation (qtc \> 480 msec), clinically significant cardiac enlargement or hypertrophy, new bundle branch block or existing left bundle branch block, or signs of new, active ischemia a. patients with evidence of prior infarction who are new york heart association (nyha) functional class ii, iii, or iv are excluded, as are patients with marked arrhythmia such as wolff parkinson white pattern or complete atrioventricular (av) dissociation
