The study consists of two parts based on the administration of single-agent GRN-300 or in combination with paclitaxel.
Part 1 (Phase IA) will test the tolerability of continuous twice a day dosing of oral GRN-300, a salt-inducible kinase inhibitor, with each cycle consisting of 28 days of treatment. The number of administered cycles will depend on the tolerability of each dose level and the severity and occurrence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) or adverse events.
Part 2 (Phase IB) will test the tolerability of continuous 28-day cycles of GRN-300 in combination with weekly paclitaxel given 3 of 4 weeks per month (x 3).
Overall duration of the study will be approximately 48 months, depending on the rate of enrollment and number of subjects enrolled.

Experimental: Part 1 (Phase 1a): Single Arm, Open Label (GRN-300 single-agent)
Part 1 of the study will determine the safety of continuous twice a day oral dosing of GRN-300, with each cycle consisting of 28 days of treatment. The number of administered cycles will depend on the tolerability of each dose level and the severity and occurrence of side effects and DLTs. The maximal tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of GRN-300 as a single agent will be determined. The overall duration of Part 1 will be approximately 24-36 months, depending on the rate of enrollment and the number of subjects enrolled.

Experimental: Part 2 (Phase 1b): Single Arm, Open Label (GRN-300 plus paclitaxel)
The study will determine the safety of continuous twice a day oral dosing of GRN-300, with each cycle consisting of 28 days of treatment, in combination with intravenously administered paclitaxel weekly x 3 during each 28-day cycle. The number of administered cycles will depend on the tolerability of each dose level and the severity and occurrence of side effects and DLTs. The maximal tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of GRN-300 in combination with paclitaxel will be determined. The overall duration of Part 2 will be approximately 12-18 months, depending on the rate of enrollment and the number of subjects enrolled. Part 2 will commence following determination of the MTD and RP2D of single-agent GRN-300 in Part 1. Overall duration of the study will be approximately 36-48 months, depending on the rate of enrollment and number of subjects enrolled. |
