Interventional Model:
Sequential


Masking:
None


Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Dose escalation phase

AST-001 (5.0 mg/m^2 to 40.0 mg/m^2) will be administered by IV infusion on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle to determine the MTD and RP2D with a BOIN design.

DRUG: AST-001

  • liquid formulation for Intravenous infusion
EXPERIMENTAL: phase II pancreatic cancer

AST-001 (RP2D) will be administered by IV infusion on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle

DRUG: AST-001

  • liquid formulation for Intravenous infusion
Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs)Adverse events will be graded according to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.Adverse events will be noted as it occurs. Timeframe for measure begins after informed consent until 30 days after last dose of study drug.
Assess safety changes in electrocardiogram (ECG)Resting 12-lead ECGs will be obtained from all subjects' pre-AST-001 infusion and within 30 minutes post-AST-001 infusion in order to assess any impact AST-001 may have on the QT interval as assessed by the Fridericia's Correction Formula (QTcF).Day 1 of each cycle(there are 26 cycles; 28 days for each cycle)
Assess safety changes of body weight.If during treatment a subject's body weight changes by >10%, the dose should be adjusted.pre-AST-001 infusion of each cycle (there are 26 cycles; 28 days for each cycle)
Number of participants with dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)A DLT is defined as the occurrence of Grade 3/4 adverse events within the first cycle (the first 28 days) of treatment that are considered by the investigator to be at least possibly related to AST-001.Throughout Cycle 1 (28 days for each cycle)
Define the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)Determination of the MTD, based on the frequently of DLTs observed in Cycle 1 in subjects recruited to the Dose Escalation Phase.Days 1, 8 and 15 of each cycle (all 26 cycles and there are 28 days for each cycle)
Pharmacokinetics (PK) - Time to maximum concentration (Tmax)Tmax of AST-001 and AST-2660 will be computed for each subject where possibleDays 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 (first cycle of 26 cycles and there are 28 days for each cycle)
PK - Maximum peak plasma concentration (Cmax)Cmax of AST-001 and AST-2660 will be computed for each subject where possible.Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 (first cycle of 26 cycles and there are 28 days for each cycle)
PK - Area under the concentration-time curve (AUClast) PK - Area under the concentration-time curve (AUClast)AUClast from Hour 0 through the last quantifiable concentration time (LQCT), where LQCT is the time at which the last sample with a quantifiable concentration was drawnDays 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 (first cycle of 26 cycles and there are 28 days for each cycle)
PK - Half-life (T1/2)T1/2 computed as ln (2)/Kel of AST-001 and AST-2660 will be computed for each subject where possible.Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 (first cycle of 26 cycles and there are 28 days for each cycle)
Efficacy: Objective response rate(ORR)ORR will be assessed as a primary outcome in phase II.up to 26 cycles (there are 28 days for each cycle)
