Study was terminated by IP Holder (collaborator), PinotBio Inc.

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-exploration, combination/expansion study, which will start by evaluating the safety and tolerability of NTX-301, an oral DNMT1 inhibitor, as a monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumours, who have failed treatment with available therapies known to be active for treatment of their corresponding disease. It will then explore the safety and tolerability of NTX-301 in combination with platinum-based therapy in patients with ovarian and bladder cancer. Optionally, the safety and tolerability of NTX-301 in combination with Temozolomide (TMZ) in patients with Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutated high-grade glioma will also be assessed.

Dose Exploration (Phase 1a, n~25): This part of the study will assess the safety and tolerability of NTX-301 and to identify the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D). It will initiate with a dose escalation using a 3+3 design.

Combination Dose and Disease Expansion (Phase 1b-2a, n~60): The study will be expanded in specific subsets of patients with solid tumours and with combination therapy as follows:

• Arm 1 (Phase 1b, n~20): Dose Escalation, NTX-301 platinum-based doublet therapy
• Arm 2 (Phase 2a, n~40): Dose Expansion, NTX-301 platinum-based doublet therapy

Patients with advanced ovarian & bladder cancer considered to be incurable by the investigator and for which available anti-cancer therapy has been exhausted will be enrolled for this component. Patients will be given NTX-301 at the MTD determined in Phase 1a. This will be combined with a platinum-based agent that will be administered by IV infusion.

Optional Cohort -High-Grade Glioma Combination Dose & Disease Expansion (Phase 1b-2a, n~40)

• Arm 3 (Phase 1b, n~20): Dose Escalation, NTX-301 combination therapy with TMZ
• Arm 4 (Phase 2a, n~20): Dose Expansion, NTX-301 combination therapy with TMZ

Patients with IDH1 mutated high-grade glioma that have commenced initial chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide and are yet to commence Temozolomide maintenance therapy will be enrolled for this component. Patients will be given NTX-301 at the MTD determined in Phase 1a. This will be combined with TMZ that will be administered orally.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Ability to understand and be willing to sign an informed consent form.

2. Male or female, ≥ 18 years old at the time of screening.

3. Diagnosis of histologically or cytologically confirmed:

   1. Locally advanced or metastatic cancer (all solid tumours). Subjects must be considered refractory or intolerant to SOC therapies or have refused standard therapy. If the last treatment a subject received was an inhibitor of DNA synthesis or a hypomethylating agent, at least 5 half-lives must have passed prior to commencing treatment. (Phase 1a, Dose Escalation Monotherapy), OR
   2. Locally advanced or metastatic cancer (ovarian or bladder cancer and other solid tumours where in the opinion of the investigator, retreatment with cisplatin or carboplatin may be beneficial to the subject). Subjects must be considered refractory or intolerant to SOC therapies or have refused standard therapy, in such a case, reason for the refusal to be captured in Case Report Form (CRF). If subject is having a drug holiday to recover from cisplatin toxicity, entry to the trial is allowed if the PI feels the subject will receive further benefit from cisplatin, the toxicity has recovered to ≤ CTCAE Grade 1 and all other eligibility criteria are met. Last treatment prior to trial entry with a platinum is not required. If the last treatment a subject received was an inhibitor of DNA synthesis or a hypomethylating agent, at least 5 half-lives must have passed prior to commencing study treatment). (Phase 1b, Dose & Disease Expansion Combination Arms, Arms 1 & 2), OR
   3. High-grade glioma, such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) that are:

   Newly diagnosed and are undergoing, or are planned to undergo, 42 Days of SOC chemoradiation therapy as per part 1 of the eviQ protocol 3364 v.1. Subjects successfully enrolled will receive a subsequent combination of NTX-301, Days 1-5 and 8-12 as well Temozolomide on Days 15-19 of their first 28-Day cycle of part 2 of the eviQ protocol 3364 v.1. This combination arm replaces the Temozolomide monotherapy SOC maintenance therapy as described in Part 2 of the eviQ protocol 3364 v.1. In order to prevent any potential delays after radiotherapy, subjects can be enrolled at any time during Chemoradiation (eviQ Part 1). In order to commence the TMZ combination arms the subject is required to complete the full 42 Days of eviQ part 1, and also receive their first dose of the TMZ combination arm within the screening window. This timing can be adjusted based on medical need on a subject-by-subject basis as per the discretion of the principal investigator together with the approval of the medical monitor (Phase 1b, 2a, Dose & Disease Expansion Combination GBM (optional) Arm, Arms 3 & 4) Note: subjects must also have at least one measurable disease lesion per RECIST 1.1 &/or RANO criteria. For Phase 1a only, non-measurable disease may also be included based on PI and MM discretion on a case-by-case basis.
