TRX-818 is a new small molecule chemical entity being developed as a potential anti-cancer therapeutic by TaiRx, Inc. TRX-818 is a potent anti-cancer agent in numerous human cancer cell lines. The objectives of this study are to determine the safety profile of TRX-818 including identification of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and determine the recommended dose and regimen(s) to initiate Phase 2.

Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of TRX-818
Toxicities will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.0.
Time frame: up to 28 days
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TRX-818
The MTD will be defined as the dose level at which at most one of six patients experiences a DLT after 28 days of treatment have occurred, with the next higher dose having at least 2/3 or 2/6 patients experiencing a DLT.
Time frame: up to 28 days
Preliminary assessment of anti-tumor activity by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)
Time frame: up to 112 days
Composite measure of pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters of TRX-818 and its metabolites TRX-818M1 to include AUC(0-last), Cmax, Tmax, T(1/2).
AUC(0-last): area under the plasma concentration versus time curve to the time of the last measurable concentration; Cmax: maximum plasma concentration; Tmax: time to maximum plasma concentration; T(1/2): terminal elimination half-life
Time frame: Selected time points during first 28 days
Time to tumor progression (TTP)
Time frame: up to 112 days
