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

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of TAS-120 and determine the most appropriate dose for the subsequent phase 2 safety and efficacy study in patients with advanced solid tumors and multiple myeloma with genetic abnormalities. The progression of cancers is caused by a complex series of multiple genetic and molecular events leading to changes in the patients DNA. The fibroblast growth factor/fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGF/FGFR) signaling pathway is important for normal organ, vascular and skeletal development. However, FGFR gene abnormalities have been linked to various cancers. TAS-120 is a highly potent, selective small molecule inhibitor of FGFR and is therefore is being studied as a therapy for cancer.

        • Patients who are presenting in recurrence or relapse must have at least one measurable enhancing mass lesion with 2 perpendicular diameters of at least 10 mm documented on baseline contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (gadolinium-based MRI);
        • Patients should be on a stable dose of steroids for at least 7 days prior to obtaining the baseline contrast MRI of the brain and at least 7 days prior to starting study drug.
      • Group 6 (Enrollment Suspended as of Amendment 7): Patient has advanced urothelial carcinoma harboring FGFR3 fusions or FGFR3 activating mutations.
      • Group 7: Patient has any tumor type not included in one of the prior groups, harboring FGFR2 amplification (no minimum number of copies).
      • Group 8 (Enrollment Suspended as of Amendment 7): Patient has any tumor type not included in one of the prior groups, harboring FGFR gene fusions or activating mutations.
  • Phase 2
    • Patient has histologically or cytologically confirmed, locally advanced, metastatic, unresectable iCCA harboring FGFR2 gene fusions or other FGFR2 rearrangements based on results from either of the following:
      • Testing by Foundation Medicine:
        • As part of study pre-screening; or
        • Previously tested by Foundation Medicine; in this case, tumor tissue should be provided to Foundation Medicine, if available.
      • Local laboratory testing using next generation sequencing [NGS], fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH], or other assays that can determine FGFR2 gene fusions or other FGFR2 rearrangements on tumor tissues or from ctDNA.  It is requested that patients enrolled on this basis provide tumor tissues to Foundation Medicine, if available from either archival samples or fresh tumor biopsy.
    • Patient has been treated with at least one prior systemic gemcitabine and platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients with prior adjuvant gemcitabine-platinum chemotherapy are eligible if the patient had recurrence within 6 months of the last dose of the regimen.
    • Patient has documentation of radiographic disease progression on the most recent prior therapy.
  • Patient has measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines (version 1.1, 2009) for advanced solid tumors or RANO criteria (2010) for brain tumors.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1 on Day 1 of Cycle 1.
  • Able to take medications orally (e.g., no feeding tube).
  • Adequate organ function as defined by the following criteria:
    • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 ×upper limit of normal (ULN); if liver function abnormalities are due to underlying liver metastasis, AST and ALT ≤ 5 × ULN;
    • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, or ≤ 3.0 mg/dL for patients with Gilbert’s syndrome;
    • International normalized ratio (INR) <1.3 (or < 3.0 on anticoagulants);
    • Absolute neutrophil count ≥1000/mm^3 (i.e., ≥ 1.0 × 10^9/L by International Units [IU]);
    • Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm^3 (IU: ≥75 × 10^9/L);
    • Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL;
    • Phosphorus ≤ ULN.
  • Creatinine clearance (calculated* or measured value**): ≥ 40 mL/min
    • * For a calculated creatinine clearance (Ccr) value, the eligibility should be determined using the Cockcroft-Gault formula:
      • Male Ccr (mL/min) = Body weight (kg) × (140 – age)/[72 × creatinine (mg/dL)].
      • Female Ccr (mL/min) = male Ccr × 0.85.
    • **A measured Ccr value (i.e., not calculated) should meet this criterion.

Female patients are not considered to be of child-bearing potential if they have a history of hysterectomy or are post-menopausal defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. Both males and females of reproductive potential must agree to use effective birth control during the study prior to the first dose and for 6 months after the last dose.
  • Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits and study procedures.
