Summary: the main purpose of this study is to establish the safety and the recommended dose of trk-950 in combination with folfiri, gemcitabine / cisplatin, gemcitabine / carboplatin, ramucirumab / paclitaxel, pd1 inhibitors (nivolumab or pembrolizumab), and imiquimod cream, bevacizumab, gemcitabine / carboplatin / bevacizumab, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (pld), carboplatin / pld / bevacizumab and paclitaxel for selected advanced solid tumors.

this study is an open-label, phase 1b study evaluating trk-950 in combination with 1) folfiri or 2) gemcitabine / cisplatin or 3) gemcitabine / carboplatin or 4) ramucirumab/paclitaxel or 5) pd1 inhibitors (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) or 6) imiquimod cream for subcutaneous lesions 7) bevacizumab 8) gemcitabine / carboplatin / bevacizumab, 9)pld, 10) carboplatin / pld / bevacizumab or 11) paclitaxel in patients with selected advanced solid tumors. the objectives of this study are to determine the safety, tolerability, mtd, recommended phase 2 dose (rp2d), pk, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of trk-950 when used in combination with other treatment regimens.
