Tas-102 and Radioembolization With 90Y Resin Microspheres for Chemo-refractory Colorectal Liver Metastases

July 28, 2022 updated by: University of California, San Francisco

Phase I Study of Tas-102 and Radioembolization With 90Y Resin Microspheres for Chemo-refractory Colorectal Liver Metastases

This is a phase I dose escalation study (3+3 design) with a dose expansion arm (12 patients) designed to evaluate safety of the combination of Tas-102 and radioembolization using Yttrium-90 (90Y) resin microspheres for patients with chemotherapy-refractory liver-dominant chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Randomized studies have demonstrated that Tas-102 has single agent activity against chemotherapy refractory colorectal cancer. A recent pre-clinical study has shown that Tas-102 may have activity as a radiation sensitizer in bladder cancer cell lines. Benefit of single agent Tas-102 against chemotherapy refractory colon cancer and the drug's promise a radiosensitizer make Tas-102 a potential candidate drug for testing in combination with radioembolization using Yttrium-90 resin microspheres in patients with liver-dominant chemotherapy-refractory mCRC. This is a phase I dose escalation study with a dose expansion arm designed to evaluate safety of the combination of Tas-102 and radioembolization using 90Y resin microspheres for patients with chemotherapy-refractory colon or rectal adenocarcinoma metastatic to the liver.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Determine dose limiting toxicities (DLT)
Time Frame: 56 days
Any adverse events grade ≥ 3 will be reviewed by the treating interventional radiologist and medical oncologist within 24 hours of being informed event. If none of the 3 patients in a cohort experiences a DLT, another 3 patients will be treated at the next higher dose level. However, if 1 of the first 3 patients experiences a DLT, 3 more patients will be treated at the same dose level. The dose escalation will continue until at least 2 patients among a cohort of 3-6 patients experience DLTs (i.e., ≥ 33% of patients with a dose-limiting toxicity at that dose level) or until 3-6 patients had been treated at TAS-102 dose of 35mg/m2 per day in 2 divided doses (up to a maximum of 80 mg per dose) administered concurrently with radioembolization cycles 1 and 2 without experiencing a DLT. DLT window will be 56 days (cycle 1, day 1 to cycle 2, day 28). Dose limiting toxicity will be reached when one of the clinical and/or laboratory parameters are met
56 days
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)
Time Frame: Up to 4 years
Traditional 3+3 design will be used to determine the recommended dose for the dose expansion phase will be defined as the dose level just below this toxic dose level.
Up to 4 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall response rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Up to 4 years
Radiographic overall response rate (measured in accordance to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version 1.1) using imaging. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR): 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesionsStable Disease (SD): Small changes that do not meet the criteria for CR, PR, or Progressive Disease (PD): 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. ORR will be defined as a ratio of the number of patients who demonstrated complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to the number of all evaluated patients.
Up to 4 years
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Up to 4 years
PFS will be defined as a time period that started at enrollment, during which a patient neither progressed nor died based on radiographic response.
Up to 4 years
Hepatic progression-free survival (HPFS)
Time Frame: Up to 4 years
HPFS will be defined as a time period that started at enrollment, during which a patient neither progressed in the liver nor died based on radiographic response.
Up to 4 years
Extrahepatic progression free survival (EHPFS)
Time Frame: Up to 4 years
EHPFS will be defined as a time period that started at enrollment, during which a patient neither progressed outside the liver nor died based on radiographic response
Up to 4 years
Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Overall Survival will be analyzed 12 months after the last patient is enrolled. Overall survival will be assessed using a two-sided, log-rank test. The survival function will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier product limit method. In addition, two-sided 95% confidence intervals for the median overall survival will be computed
Up to 12 months
Biomarker response
Time Frame: Up to 4 years
Proportion of patients with carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) response with ≥ 50% decline from baseline (in patients with baseline level ≥ 3.2) post combination therapy with Tas-102 and 90Y radioembolization. Maximum percent change will be calculated. CEA level will only be followed for participants with elevated level (≥3.2) at baseline.
Up to 4 years
