Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Ability to understand and be willing to sign an informed consent form.
2. Male or female, = 18 years old at the time of screening.
3. Diagnosis of histologically or cytologically confirmed:
1. Locally advanced or metastatic cancer (all solid tumours). Subjects must be
considered refractory or intolerant to SOC therapies or have refused standard
therapy. If the last treatment a subject received was an inhibitor of DNA
synthesis or a hypomethylating agent, at least 5 half-lives must have passed
prior to commencing treatment. (Phase 1a, Dose Escalation Monotherapy), OR
2. Locally advanced or metastatic cancer (ovarian or bladder cancer and other solid
tumours where in the opinion of the investigator, retreatment with cisplatin or
carboplatin may be beneficial to the subject). Subjects must be considered
refractory or intolerant to SOC therapies or have refused standard therapy, in
such a case, reason for the refusal to be captured in Case Report Form (CRF). If
subject is having a drug holiday to recover from cisplatin toxicity, entry to the
trial is allowed if the PI feels the subject will receive further benefit from
cisplatin, the toxicity has recovered to = CTCAE Grade 1 and all other
eligibility criteria are met. Last treatment prior to trial entry with a platinum
is not required. If the last treatment a subject received was an inhibitor of DNA
synthesis or a hypomethylating agent, at least 5 half-lives must have passed
prior to commencing study treatment). (Phase 1b, Dose & Disease Expansion
Combination Arms, Arms 1 & 2), OR
3. High-grade glioma, such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) that are:
Newly diagnosed and are undergoing, or are planned to undergo, 42 Days of SOC
chemoradiation therapy as per part 1 of the eviQ protocol 3364 v.1. Subjects
successfully enrolled will receive a subsequent combination of NTX-301, Days 1-5 and
8-12 as well Temozolomide on Days 15-19 of their first 28-Day cycle of part 2 of the
eviQ protocol 3364 v.1. This combination arm replaces the Temozolomide monotherapy SOC
maintenance therapy as described in Part 2 of the eviQ protocol 3364 v.1. In order to
prevent any potential delays after radiotherapy, subjects can be enrolled at any time
during Chemoradiation (eviQ Part 1). In order to commence the TMZ combination arms the
subject is required to complete the full 42 Days of eviQ part 1, and also receive
their first dose of the TMZ combination arm within the screening window. This timing
can be adjusted based on medical need on a subject-by-subject basis as per the
discretion of the principal investigator together with the approval of the medical
monitor (Phase 1b, 2a, Dose & Disease Expansion Combination GBM (optional) Arm, Arms 3
& 4) Note: subjects must also have at least one measurable disease lesion per RECIST
1.1 &/or RANO criteria. For Phase 1a only, non-measurable disease may also be included
