Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures

To assess number of patients experiencing dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in the dose escalation phase
- Safety and tolerability of ZX-4081 [From first dose of ZX-4081 through 28 days after the last ZX-4081 treatment (up to 2 years); each cycle is 28 days]
To examine the incidence of clinical and laboratory adverse events after multiple doses of ZX-4081 in the dose escalation and dose expansion phases
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Peak Plasma Concentration of ZX-4081 [Days 1, 8, and 15 of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)]
To evaluate the maximum observed concentration (Cmax) after single and repeated oral, twice daily (BID) doses of ZX-4081
- Area under the plasma concentration of ZX-4081 [Days 1, 8, and 15 of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)]
To evaluate the area under the curve (AUC) plasma-concentration after single and repeated oral, BID doses of ZX-4081
- Half-life of ZX-4081 [Days 1, 8, and 15 of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)]
To evaluate the half-life of ZX-4081 after single and repeated oral, BID doses of ZX-4081
- Objective response rate (ORR) [Up to 2 years]
To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) as determined by the specific disease response criteria
- Duration of Response (DOR) [Up to 2 years]
To examine 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) [Up to 2 years]
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) [Up to 2 years]
To examine the overall survival (OS), defined as time from the date of first dose of study treatment to death due to any cause
- Peripheral myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) proportion in the blood [Cycle 1 Day1 , Cycle 2 Day 1, and Cycle 3 Day 1 (each cycle is 28 days)]
To assess the changes of peripheral MDSC proportion in the blood after single and repeated oral, BID doses of ZX-4081
- T cell composition and activation status [Cycle 1 Day1 , Cycle 2 Day 1, and Cycle 3 Day 1 (each cycle is 28 days)]
To assess the impact on T cell profiles after repeated oral, BID doses of ZX-4081
