A Phase 1 Dose-Escalation Study to Determine the Safety of TH-302 in Combination With Sunitinib in Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma,Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors


This Phase 1 dose-escalation study will use a classic dose escalation design to determine
the MTD of TH-302 when used in combination with sunitinib. The study will be divided into
two parts completed in succession to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for dose
expansion.

Part A:

The dose of TH-302 will be escalated in cohorts of 3-6 subjects. The initial dose of TH-302
will be 240 mg/m2. A Dose Level minus 1 and 2 will be built into the study in the event
that subjects experience excessive toxicity at Dose Level 1. Dose escalation will continue
with approximately 40% increases from the previous dose level; however lower dose increases
of 20-39% may be implemented after consultation between the Investigators, Medical Monitor
and Sponsor with the percent increase dependent on the current dose level and the cumulative
safety data.

If a subject experiences a DLT, 3 additional subjects will be enrolled at that dose level
for a total of 6 subjects in that cohort. If no additional DLTs are observed, dose
escalation will resume. However, if 2 or more of 6 subjects within a cohort experience a
DLT, that dose will be considered to exceed the MTD. The MTD will then be defined at the
next lower dose level whereby 6 subjects were treated and < 1 subject experienced a DLT.
The maximum dose of TH-302 will be 575 mg/m2.

The MTD will be based on toxicities occurring during the first cycle.

TH-302 will be administered by IV infusion over 30-60 minutes on Days 8, 15 and 22 of a
42-day cycle (6 weeks).

The dose of sunitinib will remain fixed: 50 mg administered PO daily on days 1 to 28 day of
a 42-day cycle (6 weeks). On days when both sunitinib and TH-302 are administered,
sunitinib should be administered at least 2 hours before or at least 2 hours after
completion of the TH-302 dose.

Part B:

Once the MTD from Part A has been determined, Part B can commence.

The initial dose of TH-302 will be one dose level higher than the MTD established in Part A.
The dose of TH-302 will be escalated in cohorts of 3-6 subjects. A Dose Level at the MTD
established in Part A will be built into the study in the event that subjects experience
excessive toxicity at the initial dose. Dose escalation will continue with approximately
40% increases from the previous dose level; however lower dose increases of 20-39% may be
implemented after consultation between the Investigators, Medical Monitor and Sponsor with
the percent increase dependent on the current dose level and the cumulative safety data.

If a subject experiences a DLT, 3 additional subjects will be enrolled at that dose level
for a total of 6 subjects in that cohort. If no additional DLTs are observed, dose
escalation will resume. However, if 2 or more of 6 subjects within a cohort experience a
DLT, that dose will be considered to exceed the MTD. The MTD will then be defined at the
next lower dose level whereby 6 subjects were treated and < 1 subject experienced a DLT.

The MTD will be based on toxicities occurring during the first cycle.

TH-302 will be administered by IV infusion over 30-60 minutes on Days 8, 15 and 22 of a
42-day cycle (6 weeks).

The dose of sunitinib will remain fixed: 37.5 mg administered PO daily on days 1 to 28 of a
42-day cycle (6 weeks).

On days when both sunitinib and TH-302 are administered, sunitinib should be administered at
least 2 hours before or at least 2 hours after completion of the TH-302 dose.

An additional 10 RCC subjects will be enrolled at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for
the dose expansion portion of the study.
