A Phase 1a / 1b, First-in-human, Open-label, Dose-escalation, Safety, Pharmacokinetic, and Pharmacodynamic Study of Oral TP-0903 Administered Daily for 21 Days to Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

TP-0903 is a novel oral inhibitor that targets AXL kinase and reverses the mesenchymal
phenotype associated with advanced cancers. Preclinical studies have shown promising
antitumor activity of TP-0903 as a single agent against a variety of tumor types in both in
vitro and in vivo studies.

This first-in-human Phase 1a study is conducted to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)
of TP-0903 administered orally to patients with advanced solid tumors and to identify the
safety profile and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of TP-0903. Once the MTD has been
established, additional patients with specific tumor types (advanced solid tumors that have
progressed after achieving a best documented response of at least stable disease (ie, SD, PR,
or CR documented per iRECIST following at least 2 cycles (8 weeks) of immunotherapy, EGFR+
Non Small Cell Lung Cancer [NSCLC] and have demonstrated recent progression following a best
documented response of at least stable disease (ie, SD, PR, or CR documented per RECIST v1.1
on ≤2 lines of oral TKIs (Prior chemotherapy ± immunotherapy is allowed as long as the
patient is clearly demonstrating current progression on an EGFR TKI.), BRAF-, KRAS-, or
NRAS-mutated Colorectal Carcinoma [CRC] for whom there is no standard therapy remaining,
persistent/recurrent Ovarian Cancer who would be platinum refractory/ resistant and have had
any number of lines of prior therapy, and BRAF-mutated Melanoma that has not responded to
immunotherapy or a combination BRAF/MEK inhibitor) will be enrolled at the MTD in the Phase
1b study. Data collected from patients enrolled in each of these additional cohorts will be
used for to confirm safety, explore potential biomarkers, and evaluate potential signals of
activity when TP-0903 is administered to specific groups of heavily pretreated patients or
given in combination with immunotherapy or a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).

The study will investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary
anti-tumor activity profiles.

This is a phase 1a / 1b, first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation, safety,
pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic study of TP-0903 administered once daily for the first
21 out of 28 days.

There are 2 phases in this study. In Phase 1a (dose escalation), sequential cohorts of three
(3) patients will be treated with escalated doses until the MTD is established. In the
absence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), the dose will be increased using a modified
Fibonacci dose escalation scheme.

Once the MTD has been established, dosing will change from BSA-dependent to a flat dose based
on the average of the dose administered in the MTD expansion safety cohort. Once the MTD has
been established, in Ph 1b (expansion), 5 additional cohorts of up to 20 patients each with
specific tumor types (up to 100 additional patients total) may be enrolled at the MTD dose
level to confirm safety, explore potential biomarkers, and evaluate potential signals of
activity when TP-0903 is administered to specific groups of heavily pretreated patients or
given in combination with immunotherapy or a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Ten patients in
each of these 5 Expansion Cohorts will be required to consent to undergo pre- and post-dose
tumor biopsies. All patients who undergo these biopsies will comprise the 'Biopsy Cohorts'
(Phase 1b).

Patients who successfully complete a 4-week treatment cycle without evidence of significant
treatment-related toxicity or progressive disease will be permitted to continue to receive
treatment with the same dose and dosing schedule.

Inclusion Criteria:

To be eligible for participation in the study, patients must meet all of the following
inclusion criteria:

1. Patients enrolled in the Phase 1a study must:

1. Have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced metastatic or progressive
solid tumor

2. Be refractory to, or intolerant of, established therapy known to provide clinical
benefit for their condition

2. Patients enrolled in the Phase 1b study must meet criteria for one of the following
tumor types:

1. Have tumors that have progressed after achieving a best documented response of at
least stable disease (ie, SD, PR, or CR documented per iRECIST following at least
2 cycles (8 weeks) of immunotherapy and are felt to be appropriate for this type
of treatment*

2. Have EGFR+ NSCLC and have demonstrated recent progression following a best
documented response of at least stable disease (ie, SD, PR, or CR documented per
per RECIST v1.1 on ≤2 lines of oral TKIs and are felt to be appropriate for this
type of treatment* Prior chemotherapy ± immunotherapy is allowed as long as the
patient is clearly demonstrating current progression on an EGFR TKI.

3. Have BRAF-, KRAS-, or NRAS-mutated CRC for whom there is no standard therapy
remaining

4. Have persistent/recurrent ovarian cancer who would be platinum refractory/
resistant and have had any number of lines of prior therapy

5. Have BRAF-mutated melanoma that has not responded to immunotherapy or a
combination BRAF/MEK inhibitor
