- Diagnosis of histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced selected solid tumors: All Cohorts
- RCC: Participants with locally advanced or metastatic RCC who have previously received at least two prior standard of care systemic regimens for advanced disease. Prior exposure to a checkpoint inhibitor and/or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) targeted therapy is permitted but not required. Prior HIF-2α inhibitor therapy is permitted and may count toward the number of prior systemic regimens.
- CRPC: Participants with metastatic CRPC who have previously received a second-generation hormonal agent (unless contraindicated) and a taxane-based chemotherapy.
- Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): Participants with metastatic NSCLC that are intolerant or resistant to standard systemic therapy or for whom no standard therapy is available. Prior exposure to platinum-based chemotherapy should be limited to no more than two prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens (e.g. platinum doublets, docetaxel, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, taxanes) administered for advanced/metastatic disease. Adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy does not count toward this limit. Cohort C Only d. PM: Participants with unresectable, metastatic PM with any subtype that have progressed after, or are intolerant to, at least one line of standard systemic therapy (e.g., platinum-pemetrexed ± immune checkpoint inhibitor) and ≤3 prior lines of systemic therapy (biologic or chemotherapy are allowed). Maintenance therapy after 4-6 cycles of front-line chemotherapy is still considered 1 line of therapy and is not considered 2 separate therapies.

- Participants with ECOG PS 2 must have performance decline attributable to cancer rather than comorbid conditions, in the judgment of the investigator.
- Have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 (Eisenhauer et al 2009) except as specified below and as assessed by the local site investigator/radiology. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
- PM: modified RECIST (mRECIST) (Nowak et al 2018) will be applied for malignant pleural mesothelioma
- Measurable CRPC: Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3; Scher et al 2016). Participants with CRPC who have metastatic disease that is non-measurable are eligible if screening PSA ≥2.0 ng/mL and with Sponsor approval
- Failure to respond to standard therapy, or for whom no appropriate therapies are available (based on the judgment of the investigator)
- Consent to baseline biopsy, with the following exceptions:
- Participants whose only site(s) of disease are in areas considered moderate or high risk, as defined in Section 7.2.9 may be enrolled without a fresh biopsy with Sponsor approval;
- Archival tissue may be submitted in lieu of a fresh biopsy if collected within 6 months of screening and without intervening systemic therapy.
- Participants must have adequate hematologic function based on the following:
- ANC ≥1.5 × 109/L
- Platelet count ≥100 × 109/L

WCBP should be placed on effective birth control directly after testing negative for pregnancy; if not, then WCBP should have a UPT on Day 1 of every cycle, prior to study intervention administration. Any positive or indeterminant UPT result must be confirmed by serum.
- Female participants of childbearing potential must use a highly effective mode of contraception or abstain from heterosexual activity for the duration of the study and for 120 days following the last dose of study intervention. A female is NOT of childbearing potential if she has undergone bilateral salpingoophorectomy or is menopausal, defined as an absence of menses for 12 consecutive months. Male participants must agree to use highly effective contraception.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing TT-10 and TT-4 in people with Renal Cell Cancer and Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer, run by Portage Biotech at 2 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Desa Rae E Stanton-Pastore, MS (1585-305-3850, desi@portagebiotech.com; drpastore@cyncado.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of subjects with Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) of TT-10, TT-4 and TT-10 + TT-4 during the dose escalation phase (time frame: 28 Days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04969315, which also lists 12 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Sep 2026.
