Purpose
A Phase 2 Study with Safety Lead-in, Evaluating TAS-102 Plus Nivolumab in Participants with
Microsatellite Stable Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Detailed Description
This is a multicenter, single arm, safety lead-in, Phase 2 study, using Simon's 2 stage
design evaluating the safety and efficacy of TAS-102 plus nivolumab in participants with
Microsatellite-stable refractory metastatic colorectal cancer
Stage 1: Participants will be enrolled and after Cycle 1 treatment, they will be evaluated
for the safety and tolerability of the combination therapy. Assuming a tolerated dose is
confirmed additional participants evaluable for response will be enrolled and followed for a
minimum of 6 months and there will be an interim analysis to assess the safety and efficacy
to determine whether the second stage will open for enrollment.
Stage 2: Additional participant evaluable for response assessment will be enrolled and
followed for a minimum of 6 months.
Trial Arms
| Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
|---|
| TAS-102 + Nivolumab | Experimental | Participants received a dose of 35 milligrams per meter square (mg/m^2) of TAS-102 tablets orally twice per day (BID) within 1 hour after completion of morning and evening meals, in 4-week cycle. In each 4-week cycle, TAS-102 was administered for 2 weeks, as 5 days a week with 2 days rest, followed by a 14-day rest. Also participants received 3 milligrams per kilogram per dose (mg/kg/dose) Nivolumab intravenous (I.V) infusion over 60 minutes every 14 days (on Day 1 and Day 15 of each 4-week cycle). | |
