Experimental: TH-302 plus Nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine |
Drug: TH-302
TH-302 will be administered at a dose ranging from 170-340 milligram per square meter (mg/m^2) as intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on Days 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle until evidence of progressive disease, intolerable toxicity or subject withdrawal. Drug: Nab-paclitaxel Nab-paclitaxel will be administered at a dose ranging from 100-125 mg/m^2 as intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on Days 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle until evidence of progressive disease, intolerable toxicity or subject withdrawal. Drug: Gemcitabine Gemcitabine will be administered at a dose ranging from 800-1000 mg/m^2 as intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on Days 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle until evidence of progressive disease, intolerable toxicity or subject withdrawal. |
