Brief summary

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.

Detailed description

BOLD-100 is a novel, targeted anti-cancer therapy which is an intravenously administered small molecule drug. In a previous Phase 1 study (NCT01415297) BOLD-100 showed low toxicity with minimal hematological issues as well as some potential anti-tumour activity. The lack of observed hematological toxicity and neurotoxicity position BOLD-100 well for use in combination with a broad range of standard-of-care (SOC) chemotherapy regimens. This is a prospective, multicenter non-randomized Phase 1b/2a dose escalation & expanded cohort study of BOLD-100 in patients with advanced gastrointestinal malignancies (colorectal, pancreatic, gastric cancers, and cholangiocarcinoma) receiving standard-of-care FOLFOX chemotherapy. Enrollment in Arms I - VI is closed to enrollment. Colorectal cancer (ARM VII) for patients who are oxaliplatin naïve and have received only 1 prior line of therapy in the metastatic setting. Within this arm, participants will be randomized to one of two dose levels of BOLD-100 - either 500 mg/m2 or 625 mg/m2 in combination with FOLFOX or FOLFOX alone, in a 1:1:1 ratio. Participants enrolled into Arm VII will complete quality of life questionnaires examining general quality of life and neuropathy associated quality of life parameters.
