A Study of TAS-120 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This is an open-label, nonrandomized, Phase 1/2 study for the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor futibatinib (TAS-120). The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and anti-tumor activity of futibatinib in patients with advanced solid tumors with and without genomic FGF/FGFR abnormalities. The study will be conducted in 3 parts:

1. Dose escalation portion to determine the -Maximum Tolerated Dose and/ or Recommended Phase 2 Dose of futibatinib. 2. Phase 1 expansion portion to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of futibatinib in patients with tumors harboring FGF/FGFR aberrations, including patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), primary central nervous system tumors, urothelial carcinoma, breast cancer, gastric cancer. 3. Phase 2 study portion to confirm objective response rate of futibatinib in intrahepatic CCA patients with tumors harboring FGFR2 gene rearrangements (incl fusions).

The CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) must had reduction in short axis to <10 millimeters (mm) and PR was defined as at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.

Secondary outcomes

    A DOR was defined as the time (in months) from the first documentation of response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of objective progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants who started subsequent anticancer therapy without a prior reported progression were censored at the last tumor assessments prior to initiation of the subsequent anticancer therapy. For Cohorts 1 to 6: DOR was based on IRC and for Group 3, 4, 5, 6 and for pooled Sub-cohort: DOR was based on investigator review.

  2. Phase 2: Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 37.5 months (through cut-off date 29-May-2021)

    A DOR was defined as the time (in months) from the first documentation of response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.

Kaplan-Meier method was used for the analysis.

  3. Phase 1: Dose Expansion: Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    A DCR was defined as the proportion of participants with objective evidence of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD), except that there was no requirement for a confirmation of an SD, if it is maintained for at least 6 weeks post treatment initiation. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes might had reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of the target lesions, taking as a reference the Baseline sum diameters. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taken as a reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. For Cohorts 1 to 6: DCR was based on IRC and for pooled Sub-cohort: DCR was based on investigator review.

  4. Phase 2: Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 37.5 months (through cut-off date 29-May-2021)

    A DCR was defined as the proportion of participants with objective evidence of CR, PR, or SD, except that there was no requirement for a confirmation of an SD response, if it is maintained for at least 6 weeks post treatment initiation. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes might had reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of the target lesions, taking as a reference the Baseline sum diameters. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taken as a reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. DCR was based on IRC.

  5. Phase 1: Dose Expansion: Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: up to approximately 27.5 months (through cut-off date 30-Jun-2019)

    A PFS was defined as the time (in months) from the day of the first dose to the date of first documented disease progression or death (due to any cause), whichever occurred first. Participants who died without a reported disease progression were considered to have progressed on the date of their death, participants who did not progress or die were censored on the date of their last tumor assessment, participants who had no on-study assessments and did not die were censored on the first dosing date, and participants who started any subsequent anti-cancer therapy without a prior reported progression were censored at the last tumor assessment prior to initiation of the subsequent anti-cancer therapy. PFS assessment per protocol was by IRC assessment for Cohorts 1 to 6 and for pooled Sub-cohort: PFS was based on investigator review.

  6. Phase 2: Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 37.5 months (through cut-off date 29-May-2021)

    A PFS was defined as the time (in months) from the day of the first dose to the date of first objectively documented disease progression or death (any cause), whichever occurred first. Participants who had died without a reported disease progression were considered to have progressed on the date of their death, participants who did not progress or die were censored on the date of their last tumor assessment, participants who had no on-study assessments and did not die were censored on the first dosing date, and participants who started any subsequent anti-cancer therapy without a prior reported progression were censored at the last tumor assessment prior to initiation of the subsequent anti-cancer therapy. PFS was analyzed as using Kaplan-Meier estimate.

    EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer-specific instrument that contains 30 questions for evaluation of new chemotherapy & assessment of participant reported outcome. EORTC QLQ-C30 included global health status/quality of life (GHS/QOL), functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, social), symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting), and 6 single items (dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, constipation, diarrhea, financial difficulties). Most questions from QLQ-C30 are 4-point scale (1/Not at All to 4/Very Much), except Items 29-30, which comprise GHS scale & are 7-point scale (1/Very Poor to 7/Excellent). GHS total score is calculated as ([{Q29+Q30}/2]-1)/6*100. Answers are converted into grading scale, with values between 0 (worse outcome) to100 (best outcome). High score represents a favorable outcome with best quality of life for participant.
