Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: PCS6422 + Capecitabine
Fixed dose of PCS6422 combined with various doses of Capecitabine administered in 14 day cycles
 Drug: PCS6422 and capecitabine
PCS6422 is an experimental drug that, when combined with capecitabine, may make the immune response more active against cancer. Capecitabine is a commonly used oral fluoropyrimidine.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of participants with dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and incidence of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 [ Time Frame: ~6 months ]
    Frequency, duration, and severity of DLTs and adverse events (AEs)

  2. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of capecitabine [ Time Frame: ~14 days ]
    To evaluate the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of capecitabine


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. QTc effect of PCS6422 [ Time Frame: ~6 months ]
    To evaluate the effect of PCS6422 on QTc

  2. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of PCS6422 [ Time Frame: ~14 days ]
    To evaluate the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of PCS6422

  3. Number of participants with Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) [ Time Frame: ~6 months ]
    Frequency, duration and severity of AESIs
