A Phase Ib Clinical Study of BBI608 in Combination With Standard Chemotherapies in Adult Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

This is an open label, multi-center, multi-arm, dose-escalation study of BBI608 administered
in combination with Gemcitabine and nab-Paclitaxel, mFOLFIRINOX, FOLFIRI, or MM-398 with 5-FU
and leucovorin.

This is an open label, multi-center, multi-arm, dose-escalation study of BBI608 administered
in combination with either Gemcitabine and nab-Paclitaxel, mFOLFIRINOX, FOLFIRI, or MM-398
with 5-FU and leucovorin. A study cycle will consist of daily and continuous oral
administration of BBI608 for four weeks (28 days) in combination with Gemcitabine and
nab-Paclitaxel, mFOLFIRINOX, FOLFIRI, or MM-398 with 5-FU and leucovorin. Combination
treatment will continue in 28 day cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or
another discontinuation criterion is met. BBI608 may be continued post-progression if the
patient is obtaining potential clinical benefit, in the opinion of the investigator. If
administration of Gemcitabine and/or nab-Paclitaxel, mFOLFIRINOX, FOLFIRI, or MM-398 with
5-FU and leucovorin is discontinued due to chemotherapy backbone-related toxicities, the
administration of BBI608 can be continued.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Signed written informed consent must be obtained and documented according to
International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) - Good Clinical Practice (GCP), the
local regulatory requirements, and permission to use private health information in
accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) prior
to study-specific screening procedures.

2. Patients must have histologic or cytologic evidence of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas,
such as a core tissue biopsy or a surgical resection specimen.

3. Patients must have metastatic disease. Baseline imaging of chest, abdomen and pelvis
(CT or MRI) within 21 days prior to initiation of protocol therapy is required.

excluded.

4. Patients enrolling onto Arm A (Gemcitabine and nab-Paclitaxel) or Arm B (mFOLFIRINOX)
are allowed to have up to two prior lines of systemic therapy, with adjuvant therapy
counted as one line of therapy as long as disease recurrence occurred > 6 months of
last dose of therapy. Prior systemic therapy in the metastatic setting is allowed for
as long as the therapy contained BBI608 in combination with either Gemcitabine and
nab-Paclitaxel or mFOLFIRINOX. Toxicities related to prior therapy must have
completely resolved (except for alopecia and anemia), or be deemed irreversible.

1. Patients who received Gemcitabine-based therapy in an adjuvant setting will be
allowed to be enrolled on Arm A of the trial (Gemcitabine with nab-Paclitaxel) as
long as their last Gemcitabine administration was at least 6 months prior to the
first dose of BBI608.

2. Patients enrolling onto Arm A (Gemcitabine with nab-Paclitaxel) are allowed to
have prior mFOLFIRINOX in combination with BBI608 in the metastatic setting.

3. Patients enrolling onto Arm B (mFOLFIRINOX) are allowed to have prior Gemcitabine
with nab-Paclitaxel in combination with BBI608 in the metastatic setting.

4. Prior treatment with radiotherapy is allowed.

5. Patients enrolling onto Arm C (FOLFIRI) or Arm D (MM-398 with 5-FU and leucovorin)
must have failed one prior line of gemcitabine-based therapy with or without BBI608 in
the metastatic setting. No additional lines of therapy in the metastatic setting are
allowed. Prior adjuvant therapy with gemcitabine is allowed as long as disease
recurrence occurred > 6 months of last dose of therapy. Toxicities related to prior
therapy must have completely resolved (except for alopecia and anemia), or be deemed
irreversible. Prior treatment with radiotherapy is allowed.

6. ≥ 18 years of age.

7. Patients must have an ECOG Performance Status ≤ 1.

hours of first day of BBI608 treatment).

10. Patients with biliary or gastro-duodenal obstruction must have drainage or surgical
bypass prior to starting chemotherapy.

11. Significant or symptomatic amount of ascites should be drained prior to first dose of
BBI608.

12. Patients on Warfarin/Dabigatran/Rivaroxaban anticoagulation may be enrolled for as
long as they undergo weekly INR checks for the first 2 months of therapy.

a. Patients who switch to low molecular weight heparin may be enrolled and weekly INR
labs are not mandated for these patients.

13. Aspartate transaminase (AST) level ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and alanine

metastases, AST ≤ 5 ULN, and AST ≤ 5 ULN may be enrolled if agreed upon by the
investigator and medical monitor for the sponsor.

14. Patients must have a total bilirubin level ≤ 1.5 x ULN (≤ 2 x ULN if it is non-rising
for a period of 10 days prior to initiation of therapy).

15. Creatinine level < 1.0 x ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients
with creatinine levels above or below the institutional normal (as determined by
Cockcroft-Gault equation). For patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) > 30 kg/m^2, lean
body weight should be used to calculate the GFR.
