Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - AMXT1501
Treatment: Drugs - DFMO

Experimental: Escalation - Dose escalation of DFMO with AMXT1501 fixed dose will follow a 3 + 3 dose escalation design.

The AMXT 1501 starting dose administered in the first cohort will be 1200mg total daily dose (200 mg capsules; 3 capsules in morning; 3 capsules in evening) along with IV DFMO administered in continuous infusion at 2mL/hr over a 28 days per cycle. The patient can be treated for additional 28 day treatment cycles as deemed appropriate by their study investigator. Dose escalation of DFMO alone will increase per cohort.

Experimental: Expansion - The expansion cohort will include up to 40 evaluable patients at a proposed RP2D level of AMXT1501 and DFMO defined by AMXT1501-101A study to further characterize safety at proposed RP2D dose level with repeat dosing, and characterize early anti-tumor activity.


Treatment: Drugs: AMXT1501
AMXT 1501 dicaprate is D-lys(palmitoyl)-spermine dicaprate salt in 200 mg (free base content) enterically-coated capsules

Treatment: Drugs: DFMO
DFMO is DL-2-(difluoromethyl) ornithine monohydrochloride monohydrate provided as a 200 mg/mL aqueous solution in 20 mL vials.
