The Dose Escalation part (Part 1) of this study will evaluate safety and tolerability, and
determine the tentative RP2D. Plasma exposure of DS-6051a and the exposure - QT interval
prolongation relationship will also be assessed. Approximately 30 subjects with advanced
solid tumors harboring ROS1 or NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 rearrangement, neuroendocrine
carcinoma, or with advanced solid tumors and tumor-induced pain will be enrolled.
After the safety profile of DS-6051b is adequately evaluated, the Dose Expansion part (Part
2) will be initiated to further assess the safety and tolerability, and preliminarily
evaluate the efficacy of DS-6051b at the tentative RP2D. Approximately 40 cancer subjects
carrying a ROS1 or NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 rearrangement will be enrolled.
