This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1b study in participants with locally advanced rectum cancer where primary resection without chemoradiotherapy is unlikely to achieve clear margins as defined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is conducted to assess the safety, to assess the tolerability, and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of E7046 in combination with pre-operative chemoradiotherapy. The study will also assess the efficacy of the combination in the expansion part at RP2D.

Determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in combination with pre-operative chemoradiotherapy
The MTD is defined as one dose level below the dose level where ≥2 of 6 participants experience a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT; study drug-related toxicity) (ie, ≥33% of participants with a DLT at that dose level).
Time frame: 10 weeks
Number of participants with DLTs
DLTs are defined as study drug-related toxicities meeting specified grades per the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 4.03.
Time frame: 10 weeks
Number of participants with any serious adverse event (SAE)
An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; is life threatening (ie, the participant was at immediate risk of death from the adverse event as it occurred; this does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more severe form or was allowed to continue, might have caused death); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect (in the child of a participant who was exposed to the study drug).
Time frame: 10 weeks
Number of participants with any non-serious adverse event (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered an investigational product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the medicinal product.
Time frame: 10 weeks
Pathological complete response (pCR) rate
pCR is defined as the absence of any viable tumor cell on the resected specimen, irrespective of the proportions of necrosis and fibrosis.
Time frame: 14 to 16 weeks from the first dose of E7046

Number of participants with a histopathologically confirmed circumferential margin negative (CRM-ve) resection
The circumferential resection margin in rectal cancer has been defined as the non-peritonealized surface of a resection specimen created by dissection of the subperitoneal aspect at surgery.
Time frame: 14 to 16 weeks from the first dose of E7046
Number of participants with the indicated histopathologically confirmed tumor regression grade
The pathologic tumor regression grade is defined as the tumor regression grade on posttreatment histopathological examination of the resection specimen.
Time frame: 14 to 16 weeks from the first dose of E7046
Number of participants with the indicated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-confirmed tumor regression grade
MRI-confirmed tumor regression grade is defined as the tumor regression grade on MRI images obtained after chemoradiotherapy.
Time frame: 11 to 13 weeks after the first dose of E7046
Number of participants with the indicated MRI-confirmed down staging in T stage
Downstaging in T stage is defined as a reduction in T stage after chemoradiotherapy on MRI images.
Time frame: 11 to 13 weeks after the first dose of E7046
Disease-free survival (DFS)
Disease-free survival is defined as the time from treatment start to the date of the first documented disease occurrence, or date of death, whichever occurs first.
Time frame: up to 2 years
