Clinical Trial Summary

This was a 3-part study designed to explore the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of PLX3397 with weekly paclitaxel to establish a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), to confirm RP2D in participants with advanced non-resectable solid tumors, and to determine the efficacy of PLX3397 600 mg twice daily (BID) administered in combination with weekly paclitaxel in participants with advanced, metastatic or non-resectable, platinum-resistant or -refractory epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.

• Women of child-bearing potential must agree to use an effective method of birth control during treatment and for three months after receiving their last dose of study drug. Fertile men must also agree to use an acceptable method of birth control while on study drug and for at least 3 months after last dose.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Presence of an active secondary malignancy.

• Patients with a non-melanomatous, in situ malignancy or disease that is completely resectable with surgery may be considered after discussion with the Medical Monitor

• Patients with a completely treated prior malignancy with no evidence of disease for =3 years are eligible

• Refractory nausea and vomiting, malabsorption, external biliary shunt or significant small bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption of PLX3397

• Ongoing treatment with any other investigational therapy

• Prior anaphylactic or severe hypersensitivity reaction to paclitaxel or Cremophor-containing agent.

• Persistent grade 2 fatigue at Baseline.

• Severe, concurrent illness including congestive heart failure, significant cardiac disease and uncontrolled hypertension, that would likely prevent the patient from being able to comply with the study protocol

• Active untreated infection

• Known chronic active Hepatitis B or C, or HIV infection

• The presence of a medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, makes the patient inappropriate for inclusion in this study.

Primary	Best Overall Tumor Response Based on RECIST V1.1 Following PLX3397 Administered in Combination With Paclitaxel (Parts 1 and 2) (Efficacy Evaluable Population)	Best overall tumor response (complete response [CR], partial response [PR], stable disease [SD], progressive disease [PD]) is reported, including participants who were not evaluable (NE). RECIST v1.1 for target lesions are assessed by magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, or positron emission tomography-computed tomography and are summarized as: CR, Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm; PR, At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters; PD, at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (includes the baseline sum).
