Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Be 18 years or older.\n- Have adequate organ function, defined as: - Hematologic: ANC ≥ 1.5 x 109/L, Hgb ≥ 9.0 g/dL and platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L - Hepatic: total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN; transaminases ≤ 2.5 x ULN (may be up to 5 x ULN if clearly due to liver metastases), ALP ≤ 2.5 x ULN - Renal: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min. - Urine protein is 0, trace, or +1 on dipstick urinalysis, or < 1.0 gram on 24-hour urine protein analysis.\n- Be on stable doses of any drugs that may affect hepatic drug metabolism or renal drug excretion (e.g., non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, barbiturates, diphenylhydantoin, narcotic analgesics, probenecid). Such drugs may be initiated while the subject is participating in this study.\n- Resolved acute effects of any prior therapy to baseline severity or grade ≤1 CTCAE 5.0 except for adverse events not constituting a safety risk by investigator judgment (such as alopecia).\n- (ARM VII): BRAF wild-type tumour status.\n- Able to take oral medications (for pre-medications and supportive management).\n- Understand and be able, willing, and likely to fully comply with study procedures and restrictions.\n- Be fully informed about their illness and the investigational nature of the study protocol, and sign an approved Informed Consent Form (ICF).\n- Be male or non-pregnant females who agree to comply with applicable contraceptive requirements of the protocol.\n- Histologically and/or cytologically confirmed gastrointestinal tumours that are metastatic or unresectable, and are subject to receive FOLFOX as standard of care per investigator judgement. Participants will have received at least one line of chemotherapy in the metastatic setting (in the dose escalation phase only). For the dose expansion phase, the setting will vary based on the malignancy. Colorectal cancer: Patients must have received at least 1 prior line of therapy prior to enrollment in this study. Pancreatic cancer: Patients must have received at least 1 prior line of therapy. Gastric cancer: Patients who have not received prior treatment may be included in this study. Cholangiocarcinoma: Patients must have received at least 1 prior line of therapy (with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy). Colorectal cancer (ARM VI): Patients must have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy prior to enrollment in this study, one of which was a 5-FU based regimen. Colorectal cancer (ARM VII): Patients must have received only 1 prior line of therapy in the metastatic setting prior to erollment in this study. Prior oxaliplatin therapy is permitted in the following two situations: 1. patients who have received oxaliplatin in the adjuvant setting. 2. patients who have received oxaliplatin in the first line metastatic setting but did not progress on treatment or within 3 months of oxaliplatin treatment cessation.\n- Have measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1 (at least one measurable lesion).\n- Have an anticipated survival of at least 16 weeks.\n- Be ambulatory, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of 0 or 1."}

Subjects taking ANY supplemental IRON, i.e., therapeutic or as part of a multivitamin regimen, are excluded from this study, whether prescribed or self-medicated.\n- HIV-positive subjects on combination anti-retroviral therapy due to the potential for PK interactions with the study agent.\n- Any condition potentially decreasing compliance to study procedures. Concurrent use of another investigational therapy or anti-cancer therapy.\n- Concurrent use of another investigational therapy or anti-cancer therapy within 4 weeks before the start of treatment.\n- Previous intolerance to or significant reaction secondary to fluorouracil or oxaliplatin\n- (ARM VII): Prior exposure to BOLD-100\n- (ARM VII): Patients considered resitant to Oxaliplatin: Patients who have received oxaliplatin in the adjuvat setting who have progressed / relapsed within 6 months of their last oxaliplatin administration. Patients with advanced colorectal cancer who have progressed (based on RECIST 1.1) while on or within 3 months of their last administration of oxaliplatin.\n- (ARM VII): Subjects with microsatellite-high (MSI-H) Tumours\n- (ARM VII): Concurrent monoclonal antibody therapy for mCRC (anti-EGFR, anti-VEGF or anti-HER2)\n- Cerebrovascular accident within the past 6 months.\n- History or presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis or leptomeningeal tumours as documented by CT or MRI scan, analysis of cerebrospinal fluid or neurological exam.\n- Any serious medical conditions that might be aggravated by treatment or limit compliance.
