- To evaluate the Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] with BTX-1188 in subjects with advanced malignancies [ Time Frame: From first dose of BTX-1188 through 30 days after the last BTX-1188 treatment ]To examine the incidence of clinical and laboratory adverse events after multiple doses of BTX-1188
- To determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BTX-1188 in subjects with advanced malignancies [ Time Frame: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days) ]To assess number of patients experiencing dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)
- Maximum Plasma Concentration of BTX-1188 [ Time Frame: PK samples are collected at pre-dose and post-dose at 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 hours on Days 1 and 5 of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days). ]To evaluate the maximum observed concentration (Cmax) after single and repeated oral, once daily doses of BTX-1188
- Peak Plasma Concentration of BTX-1188 [ Time Frame: PK samples are collected at pre-dose and post-dose at 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 hours on Days 1 and 5 of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days). ]To evaluate the observed time of peak concentration (Tmax) after single and repeated oral, once daily doses of BTX-1188
- Area under the plasma concentration of BTX-1188 [ Time Frame: PK samples are collected at pre-dose and post-dose at 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 hours on Days 1 and 5 of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days). ]To evaluate the area under the curve (AUC) plasma-concentration after single and repeated oral, once daily doses of BTX-1188.
- Half-life of BTX-1188 [ Time Frame: PK samples are collected at pre-dose and post-dose at 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 hours on Days 1 and 5 of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days). ]To evaluate the half-life of BTX-1188 after single and repeated oral, once daily doses of BTX-1188.
- Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years after the last treatment or upon death. ]To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) as determined by the specific disease response criteria.
- Best response [ Time Frame: For subjects with AML, response will be evaluated at the end of each cycle (each cycle is 28 days) and after the last dose of BTX-1188 (approximately 36 months). For subjects with NHL or solid tumors, response will be evaluated every 8-weeks. ]To evaluate the complete remission/response [CR], CR with incomplete blood count recovery [CRi], morphologic leukemia free state [MLFS], partial remission/response [PR], stable disease or progression as determined by the specific disease response criteria.
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: For subjects with AML, response will be evaluated at the end of each cycle (each cycle is 28 days) and after the last dose of BTX-1188 (approximate 36 months). For subjects with NHL or solid tumors, response will be evaluated every 8-weeks. ]To evaluate the DCR (response + stable disease) as determined by the specific disease response criteria.
- Duration of response (DoR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years after the last treatment or upon death. ]To evaluate the duration of response (DoR), defined as time from the date of first documentation of response to the date of the first documentation of progressive disease (PD), or death due to any cause.
- Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years after the last treatment or upon death. ]To examine the the progression free survival (PFS), defined as time from the date of first dose of study treatment to the first date of documentation of PD, or death due to any cause.
- Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years after the last treatment or upon death. ]To examine the overall survival (OS), defined as time from the date of first dose of study treatment to death due to any cause.
