Malignant disease, other than that being treated in this trial. Note: Patients with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ (e.g., breast carcinoma, cervical cancer in situ) who have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded. Other exceptions include malignancies that were treated curatively and have not recurred within 3 years prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 and any malignancy considered indolent and that has never required therapy. 7. Lack of peripheral venous or central venous access or any condition that would interfere with drug administration or collection of trial samples. 8. Inability to swallow capsules or tablets. 9. Known central nervous system (CNS) involvement including carcinomatous meningitis. 10. Ongoing or active infection (exception: HBV infection - see inclusion criteria). 11. Patients with large varices at risk of significant bleeding that are not being treated with conventional medical intervention: beta blockers or endoscopic treatment. Assessment of varices for patients in whom conventional medical intervention for known varices is already in place should be performed by endoscopy as per local standard of care. 12. Arterial or venous thrombotic or embolic events such as cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attacks), deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism within 6 months before the start of trial medication. 13. Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac repolarization abnormality, or hypertension including any of the following: - Congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association (NYHA) > Class II - Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure >150 mmHg or diastolic pressure > 90 mmHg despite optimal medical management) - Unstable angina pectoris or cardiac arrhythmia - Baseline QTc (Fridericia) ≥ 450 milliseconds. In the event a QTc (QT interval corrected Fridericia) measurement is not possible due to factors such as a pacemaker or bundle branch block, the patient may be evaluated by a cardiologist who must document no apparent increased risk for Torsades de Point or other morbidity associated with prolonged QTc. With such documentation, the patient may be eligible based with additional medical monitor review. - Long QT syndrome or family history of idiopathic sudden death or congenital long QT syndrome - Myocardial infarct within 6 months before Cycle 1 Day 1 - Clinically significant pericardial disease 14. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for PK interactions. 15. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are excluded from this trial. The effects of tegavivint on the developing human fetus have the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. There is an unknown but potential risk for Adverse Effects in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with tegavivint. 16. Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) and men who are sexually active with WOCBP who do not agree to use one highly effective method of contraception, including hormonal contraceptives (e.g., combined oral contraceptives, patch, vaginal ring, injectables, and implants); intrauterine device or intrauterine system; vasectomy or tubal ligation; and one effective method of contraception, including male condom, female condom, cervical cap, diaphragm or contraceptive sponge or abstaining from sex for the duration of trial participation and for at least 6 months following completion of dosing (if applicable). Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this trial, she should inform her treating physician immediately. 17. Any other clinically significant disease or condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect adherence to the protocol, or the signing of the ICF by the patient, or make participation in this clinical trial inappropriate.

Detailed Description
This multi-part Phase 1/2 trial dose escalation and expansion trial will evaluate tegavivint in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC). The trial begins with Part 1, a monotherapy dose escalation using a Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design, starting at 6.5 mg/kg intravenously (IV) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) (9-18 patients enrolled). Following the establishment of the monotherapy RP2D, Part 2 will enroll up to 24 patients in a Phase 2 expansion cohort to evaluate preliminary efficacy of tegavivint monotherapy in mCRC. Part 3 will conduct limited dose escalation of tegavivint in combination with two different standard of care therapy regimens. Each combination arm will follow a BOIN design to establish the combination RP2D. Upon determination of the combination RP2Ds, Part 4 will open two parallel Phase 2 expansion cohorts of up to 24 patients each to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of these combination regimens.
