A Phase I, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation Study Evaluating the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Clinical Effects of Intravenously Administered PT-112 Injection in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of PT-112
injection that can be given to participants with an advanced solid tumor. This is the first
study using the PT-112 injection in humans.

Study Groups:

If participant is found to be eligible to take part in this study, they will be assigned to
a study group based on when they joined this study. Up to 4 groups of 3-6 participants will
be enrolled in the dose escalation portion of the study. Up to 4 groups of 15 participants
with the same tumor type will be enrolled in the dose confirmation portion.

If participant is enrolled in the dose escalation portion, the dose of PT-112 they receive
will depend on when they joined this study. The first group of participants will receive
the lowest dose level of PT-112. Each new group will receive a higher dose of PT-112 than
the group before it, if no intolerable side effects were seen. This will continue until the
highest tolerable dose of PT-112 is found.

If participant is assigned to a lower dose and a higher dose is found to be safe, they may
be moved to the higher dose level.

If participant is enrolled in the dose confirmation portion, they will receive PT-112 at the
highest dose that was tolerated in the dose escalation portion.

Study Drug Administration:

Participant will receive PT-112 by vein over about 60 minutes on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each
28-day study cycle.

Study Visits:

On Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 2:

- Participant will have a physical exam (Cycle 2 only).

- Participant will have an EKG before, during, and 30 minutes after their dose of study
drug.

- Blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests and to check how well
participant's blood clots.

- Blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for tumor marking testing.

- Urine will be collected for routine tests, including a pregnancy test if participant is
able to become pregnant.

- If participant is in the dose escalation portion of this study, blood (about 1 teaspoon
each time) will be drawn at 13 different time points over 24 hours for pharmacokinetic
(PK) testing during Day 1 of Cycle 1 and at 3 different time points during Day 1 of
Cycle 2 over 4 hours. PK testing measures the amount of study drug in the blood at
different time points.

At the beginning of each cycle, participant will be contacted by phone about 24-48 hours
after their first dose of study drug and asked if they are having any side effects related
to the nervous system, such as numbness, tingling, cold-induced discomfort, and muscle
spasms. The phone call should last about 15 minutes.

On Days 8 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 2:

- Participant will have a physical exam (Cycle 1/Day 8 and Cycle 2/Day 15 only).

- Participant will have an EKG before, during, and 30 minutes after their dose of study
drug. (Day 15 only)

- Blood (about 2 teaspoons) and urine will be collected for routine tests.

- If participant is in the dose escalation portion of this study, blood (about 1 teaspoon
each time) will be drawn at 13 different time points over the 24 hours for PK testing
on Day 8 of Cycle 1 and at 3 different time points over 4 hours on Day 15 of Cycle 1
and Days 8 and 15 of Cycle 2.

On Day 22 of Cycles 1 and 2:

- Blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.

- On Day 22 of Cycle 1 only, urine will be collected for routine tests.

On Day 1 of Cycles 3-6:

- Participant will have a physical exam (Day 1 of Cycles 4 and 6 only).

- Participant will have an x-ray, CT scan, PET scan, or MRI scan to check the status of
the disease (Cycle 3/Day 1 and Cycle 5/Day 1 only).

- Participant will have an EKG to check their heart function.

- Blood (up to 3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests and to check how well
participant's blood clots.

- Urine will be collected for routine tests, including a pregnancy test if participant is
able to become pregnant.

- Blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for tumor marker testing.

- Participant will have a CT scan, MRI scan, or chest x-ray to check the status of the
disease.

On Days 8, 15, and 22 of Cycles 3-6, blood (about 1-2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine
tests.

Length of Study:

Participant may continue taking the study drug for up to 6 cycles. Participant will no
longer be able to take the study drug if the disease gets worse, if intolerable side effects
occur, or if they are unable to follow study directions.

Patient's participation on the study will be over after the end-of-treatment visit.

End-of-Treatment Visit:

About 30 days after participant's last dose of study drug, they will have an
end-of-treatment visit. At this visit, participant will have the following tests and
procedures performed:

- Participant will have a physical exam.

- Participant will have an EKG.

- Blood (up to 3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests and to check how well
participant's blood clots.

- Urine will be collected for routine tests, including a pregnancy test if participant is
able to become pregnant.

is currently being used for research purposes only. The study doctor can explain how the
study drug is designed to work.
