About this trial
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of TR-002 for the treatment of solid tumors that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced), that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and unresectable or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Chemotherapy drugs, such as TR-002, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. TR-002 may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with advanced, unresectable or metastatic solid tumors and unresectable or metastatic, refractory pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Aged 18 or over at the time of consent
Pathology or histology-confirmed metastatic or unresectable solid tumor for which standard systemic treatments are no longer effective or not tolerated
For the expansion cohort, participants must have pathology or histology-confirmed metastatic or unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma that is refractory and/or intolerant to all standard-of-care systemic treatments (including gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan)
Participants in dose escalation may have measurable and/or non-measurable disease. Imaging for disease assessment of measurable and non-measurable disease must be completed within 28 days prior to registration. Participants in dose expansion must have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteira in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1
Disqualifiers
Lactating or pregnant patients or patients of reproductive potential not willing to use effective methods of contraception
Clinically significant toxicities from most recent therapy or intervention prior to study enrollment that have not resolved to baseline or grade 1 (exceptions include alopecia and grade 2 sensory neuropathy)
Participant has a history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months prior to day 1.
Participant has New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II or greater congetive heart failure (CHF).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLTs)
The proportion of DLTs at each dose level will be reported with exact binomial 95% confidence intervals.
Number of participants experiencing treatment-related adverse events
Classified by severity, and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.
Secondary outcomes
Objective response rate (ORR)
Defined as the proportion of eligible subjects who have a complete response or partial response using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 criteria. Estimate for ORR will be provided, along with exact 2-sided 95% confidence interval.
Progression free survival
Will estimate median survival times together with their 95% confidence intervals with the Kaplan-Meier method, and report number of events.
Overall survival
Will estimate median survival times together with their 95% confidence intervals with the Kaplan-Meier method, and report number of events.
Steady state through concentrations in serum
Steady state through concentrations will be calculated using non-compartmental or compartmental PK methods, and will be compared across dose levels using non-parametric statistical testing techniques.
