Brief Summary:

In the dose escalation phase (Part 1), this study will determine the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 (RPII) dose of NC 6004 in combination with gemcitabine.

In the expansion phase of the study (Part 2), study will evaluate the activity, safety, and tolerability at the RPII dose identified in Part 1 in patients with squamous NSCLC, biliary tract, and bladder cancer.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: NC-6004 and Gemcitabine Drug: NC-6004
NC-6004 - given at escalating doses of 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, or 180 mg/m2 according to observations of dose-limiting toxicity.

Drug: Gemcitabine
Gemcitabine 1250 mg/m2 will be administered as a 30 minute intravenous infusion on Day 1 after the completion of the NC 6004 infusion and on Day 8 of each cycle.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Determine the RPII dose of NC-6004 in combination with gemcitabine [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    In the dose-escalation phase of the study (Part 1), to determine the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), MTD, and RPII dose of NC-6004 in combination with gemcitabine

  2. Activity of NC-6004 measured by progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    In the expansion phase of the study (Part 2), to evaluate the activity of NC-6004 in combination with gemcitabine in patients with first-line Stage IV squamous NSCLC, first-line advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer, and first-line metastatic or locally advanced bladder cancer compared with historical control as measured by local investigator/radiologist-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall response rate [ Time Frame: every 6 weeks tumor assessments for response and disease progression after treatment discontinuation and telephone calls for survival every 12 weeks until disease progression. ]
    To evaluate ORR, DCR (DCR = complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD]), DOR, PFS, and OS

  2. Therapy-related AEs [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Incidence and severity of therapy-related AEs

  3. EORTC QLQ-C30 [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    To evaluate QoL using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)

  4. Safety and tolerability as measured by severity of AEs and laboratory abnormalities [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    The safety endpoints for this study are the incidence and severity of AEs and laboratory abnormalities, according to the NCI CTCAE version 4.03, the occurrence of SAEs and treatment discontinuations due to AEs, and nausea severity and vomiting incidence obtained from the patient diary
