TT-10 (PORT-6) and TT-4 (PORT-7) as Single Agents and in Combination in Subjects With Advanced Selected Solid Tumors

Launched by PORTAGE BIOTECH · Jul 9, 2021

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating two new treatments, called TT-10 and TT-4, both alone and in combination, for patients with advanced solid tumors like kidney cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, and others. The main goals are to see how safe these treatments are, determine the highest dose that can be given without serious side effects, and get an early idea of how effective they might be for patients who have not responded to standard treatments.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of specific advanced cancers that haven't responded to other therapies. Participants should also be able to provide consent to join the study. Throughout the trial, participants will receive the treatments and be monitored for safety and effectiveness, including possible side effects. This study is currently recruiting, and participants will have the opportunity to contribute to the understanding of these potential new therapies.

• 8. Participants must have adequate hematologic function based on the following:
• • ANC ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
• • Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L
• • Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL
• 9. Participants must have adequate hepatic function based on the following:
• • Total bilirubin \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless elevated due to Gilbert's syndrome)
• • ALT/AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN for participants with known hepatic metastases)
• 10. Participants must have adequate renal function based on the following:
• • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN; or
• • Serum creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min, as determined by Cockcroft-Gault equation
• • 11. For women of childbearing potential (WCBP): negative urine pregnancy test (UPT) within 1 week before first treatment (WCBP defined as a sexually mature woman who has not undergone surgical sterilization or who has not been naturally post-menopausal for at least 12 consecutive months for women \> 55 years of age). WCBP should be placed on effective birth control directly after testing negative for pregnancy; if not, then WCBP should have a UPT on Day 1 of every cycle, prior to study intervention administration. Any positive or indeterminant UPT result must be confirmed by serum.
• • a. Female participants of childbearing potential must use a highly effective mode of contraception or abstain from heterosexual activity for the duration of the study and for 120 days following the last dose of study intervention. A female is NOT of childbearing potential if she has undergone bilateral salpingoophorectomy or is menopausal, defined as an absence of menses for 12 consecutive months. Male participants must agree to use highly effective contraception.
• • 12. Ability to adhere to the study visit schedule and all protocol requirements
