A Phase 1 Evaluation of the Safety and Tolerability of TAK-228 in Combination With TAK-117 and Paclitaxel in Advanced Solid Tumors

This is an open-label, cohort study to determine the feasibility and tolerability of the
combination of TAK-228 and TAK-117 given on days 2-4, 9-11, 16-18, and 23-25 with paclitaxel
on days 1, 8, and 15 for one 28-day cycle in patients with advanced solid tumors.

The goal of this study is to determine a tolerated dose of the combination of TAK-228,
TAK-117 and paclitaxel. To do this, investigators will estimate the maximum tolerated dose
that is defined as the dose level at which less than one-third of patients will experience a
dose-limiting toxicity. A traditional dose escalation design will be used, beginning with the
lowest dose level and escalating to the maximum allowable dose level as specified in the
protocol. Three patients will be treated one at a time at a given dose level. A maximum of 5
dosing levels results in a maximum sample size of n=30 subjects. Adverse events will be
defined using the Common Toxicity Criteria v. 4.0. dose-limiting toxicity is defined as:

- Grade 3 or higher nonhematologic toxicity, despite adequate treatment, except for the
following:

- Grade 3 hyperglycemia lasting ≤14 days (all patients should receive optimal
antiglycemic treatment, including insulin, as clinically indicated).

- Grade 3 rash lasting ≤3 days (all patients should receive topical steroid
treatment, oral antihistamines, and oral steroids, if necessary).

- Inadequately treated Grade 3 nausea and/or vomiting and Grade 3 diarrhea (all
patients should receive optimal antiemetic and/or antidiarrheal prophylaxis and/or
treatment).

- Grade 4 neutropenia lasting >7 days in the absence of growth factor support.

- Grade 4 neutropenia of any duration accompanied by fever ≥38.5°C and/or systemic
infection.

- Any other ≥Grade 4 hematologic toxicity.

- Inability to administer at least 75% of planned doses of TAK-228 within Cycle 1, due to
study drug-related toxicity.

- Any clinically significant occurrence that the investigator and sponsor agree would
place patients at an undue safety risk.

Patients experiencing any grade 3 or more hematologic toxicity attributed to the treatment
will hold all therapy until resolution of the toxicity to grade 2 or less. If toxicity
persists, the patients will be removed from the study. Upon resolution of the toxicity, the
patient will restart treatment at the original dose at the discretion of the investigators.

One of the following outcomes will determine the treatment of subsequent patients:

- If none of the three patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity, the next group of
patients will be entered in the next higher dose cohort. All patients within a cohort
must have completed at least once cycle (28 days) prior to initiation of the next cohort
of patients.

- If one of the three patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity, three more patients
will be accrued at the current dose level. Subsequently, if only one of the six patients
treated at this level experiences a dose-limiting toxicity, the dose will be escalated
to the next higher dose in the next group of patients. If two or more of the six
patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity, the maximum tolerated dose has been
exceeded and is defined as the previous dose at which no more than 1/3 experienced a
dose-limiting toxicity.

- If at least two of the three experience a dose-limiting toxicity, the maximum tolerated
dose has been exceeded and is defined as the previous dose at which no more than 1/3
experienced a dose-limiting toxicity.

If the lowest allowable dose level exceeds the maximum tolerated dose, the study will be
terminated and the combination will not be deemed safe for use in this population.
Additionally, the highest dose level will not be exceeded, even if no dose-limiting
toxicities are experienced at that dose.

The adverse events overall and by individual adverse events categories will be summarized.
Serious adverse events will be summarized in a similar manner. These summaries will be
performed overall and for each dose cohort. Investigators will summarize all events as well
as the highest grade for a given subject. Investigators will summarize the number of subjects
that exhibit a dose-limiting toxicity at each dose cohort and describe the dose-limiting
toxicity for each subject, if applicable.
