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) in Asians and determine the recommended dose and regimen(s) to initiate Phase 2.

Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of TRX-818 in Asians
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 in Asians
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: AUC(0-last)
AUC(0-last): area under the plasma concentration versus time curve to the time of the last measurable concentration

Composite measure of pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters of TRX-818:Cmax
Cmax: maximum plasma concentration
Time frame: Day 1, 8, 15 for Cycle 1 only(each cycle is 28 days)
Composite measure of pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters of TRX-818: Tmax
Tmax: time to maximum plasma concentration
Time frame: Day 1, 8, 15 for Cycle 1 only(each cycle is 28 days)
Composite measure of pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters of TRX-818: T(1/2)
T(1/2): terminal elimination half-life
