  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1, nonrandomized study to evaluate the cardiac safety of TAS-102 in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study is conducted in 2 phases: the cardiac safety evaluation phase to investigate cardiac repolarization and the cardiac safety profile (Cycle 1) and the extension phase to assess the safety profile and antitumor activity (subsequent cycles).

Interventions

  • Drug: TAS-102
    • 35 mg/m2/dose, orally, twice daily on days 1-5 and 8-12 of each 28-day cycle. Number of cycles: until at least one of the discontinuation criteria is met.
  • Drug: Placebo
    • Placebo tablets, orally, single dose.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: TAS-102
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • QTc interval
    • Time Frame: Days -2, -1, 1, and 12 of Cycle 1
    • Predose (Day -2) to post-dose changes and absolute values in QTc interval after placebo (Day -1, Cycle 1), after a single dose of TAS-102 (Day 1, Cycle 1), and after multiple doses (Day 12, Cycle 1)

Secondary Measures

  • Quantitative and Qualitative ECG parameters
    • Time Frame: Days -2, -1, 1, and 12 of Cycle 1
    • Predose (Day -2) to postdose changes and absolute values in quantitative Holter ECG parameters (heart rate, RR, PR and QRS intervals) after placebo (Day -1, Cycle 1), after a single dose of TAS-102 (Day 1, Cycle 1), and after multiple doses (Day 12, Cycle 1). In addition, qualitative assessments of Holter ECG recordings will be performed.
  • Relationship between TAS-102 pharmacokinetics and its effect on cardiac repolarization
    • Time Frame: Days 1 and 12 of Cycle 1
    • Pharmacokinetic samples are taken on Days 1 and 12 of Cycle 1. The relationship between plasma concentrations of TAS-102 and the change from baseline in QTc adjusted by placebo will be quantified using a linear mixed effect model approach.
  • Safety monitoring including adverse events, vital signs, and laboratory assessments
    • Time Frame: Through 30 days following last administration of study medication or until initiation of new anticancer treatment
    • Standard safety monitoring and grading using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) will be used.
  • Tumor assessments using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)
    • Time Frame: Every 8 weeks through Cycle 6 (ie, through 24 weeks). Thereafter, assessments will be performed at least every 12 weeks according to site standard of care, until at least one of the treatment discontinuation criteria is met.
