Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

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

Phase Ib Patients will be treated with twice-daily dosing of FTD/TPI in a 3+3 dose escalation design Phase II

2 parallel cohorts of patients will be enrolled : Cohort A : patients with prior exposure to fluoropyrimidines Cohort B : patients without prior exposure to fluoropyrimidines

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

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
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 4 months
Primary endpoint is proportion of patients who are PFS at 4 months in Cohort A
4 months

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
Time Frame: 5 years
The death of any patient in the trial from any cause will be recorded and the amount of time from enrollment in the trial until death will be recorded in weeks.
5 years
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 6 months
Proportion of patients who are PFS at 6 months in Cohort B
6 months
Safety and Efficacy
Time Frame: 5 years
All adverse events experienced by all patients (in both cohort , RP2D of FTD/TPI in MBC Patients) exposed to Trifluridine/tipiracil will be recorded and graded according to CTCAE version 5.
