About this trial
BOLD-100 is an intravenously administered sterile solution containing the ruthenium-based small molecule. BOLD-100 has been shown to preferentially decrease the expression of GRP78 in tumour cells and ER stressed cells when compared to normal cells. BOLD-100 will be combined with cytotoxic FOLFOX chemotherapy in this study, with a dose escalation cohort to ensure tolerability and safety, followed by a cohort expansion phase.

Baseline and changes in biomarker levels during treatment
Serum GRP78
Other outcomes
Quality of life evaluation
Arm VII
Changes in dose reductions, treatment discontinuations, and interruptions, and AE's reported related to neuropathy from baseline
Arm VII
Cancer mutational status in blood and tissue biomarker relationship to clinical outcomes
Circulatory tumor DNA (ctDNA) collection will be tested for a panel of tumor mutations, genomic alterations, microsatellite instability and tumor mutational burden, and these will be associated to clinical outcomes, including overall survival, progression-free survival, overall response rate and other outcome measures
GRP78 levels and relationship to clinical outcomes
Optional biopsy samples at screening and at cycle 4 will be collected and analyzed for GRP78 levels, other related pathway markers, immune cell profiles, and cancer mutation profiles, and comparing these to clinical outcomes including overall survival, progression-free survival, overall response rate and other outcome measures
