A Randomized Phase 2 Trial of TAS-114 in Combination With S-1 Versus S-1

A Randomized, Open-Label, Multi-Center, International Phase 2 Study of TAS-114 in Combination With S-1 in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This is a randomized, open-label, Phase 2 study of TAS-114 administered in combination with S-1, to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the TAS-114/S-1 regimen in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

The study will be conducted internationally in 2 regions: Asian [Japan] and Western [Europe and US]. Patients will be randomized into TAS-114/S-1 arm versus S-1 control arm in a 1:1 ratio.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: TAS-114; Drug: S-1

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: TAS-114 + S-1; Participants received 400 milligrams (mg) of TAS-114 tablets orally twice daily (BID) along with 30 milligrams per meter square (mg/m^2) of S-1 capsule BID for 2 weeks (Day 1 to 14), followed by 1 week recovery period (Day 15 to 21) in each 21 days cycle, until progressive disease (PD), occurrence of intolerable side effects, removal by the Investigator, or withdrawal of consent (maximum treatment duration: 51 weeks).	Drug: TAS-114; TAS-114 was a modulator of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).; Drug: S-1; S-1 was designed to provide oral delivery of 5-FU and to reduce the rate of degradation of 5-FU in vivo.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: S-1 (Monotherapy); Participants received 30 mg/m^2 of S-1 capsules BID for 2 weeks (Day 1 to 14) followed by 1 week recovery period (Day 15 to 21) in each 21 days cycle, until progressive disease (PD), occurrence of intolerable side effects, removal by the Investigator, or withdrawal of consent (maximum treatment duration: 38 weeks).	Drug: S-1; S-1 was designed to provide oral delivery of 5-FU and to reduce the rate of degradation of 5-FU in vivo.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Progression-free Survival (PFS) Based on Central Independent Review	Progression-free survival was defined as the time (in months) from the day of randomization to the start of radiologic disease progression or death (any cause), whichever occurred first. Response assessments were made based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). As per RECIST 1.1 criteria, progressive disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters (mm). (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered progressions). Participants who did not have disease progression or died were censored at the last known time that the participant was progression free.	From date of randomization or until date of disease progression or death whichever occurred first (approximately up to 13 months)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)	OS was defined as the time from the first dose of the study treatment to death from any cause. Participants who were alive at the end of study were censored at the last date the participant was known to be alive. OS was estimated from Kaplan-Meier method.	From date of randomization until death (approximately up to 15 months)
Overall Response Rate (ORR) Based on Central Independent Review	ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with objective evidence of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. Any pathological and non-pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to less than (<) 10 mm. PR was defined as at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of diameters of the target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters.	From date of first dose of study drug to the date of first documentation of progression or death (approximately up to 13 months)
Disease Control Rate (DCR) Based on Central Independent Review	DCR was defined as the percentage of participants with objective evidence CR, PR, or stable disease (SD). Based on the central review of tumor assessments per RECIST, version 1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Reduction in any pathological lymph nodes 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, taking as a reference the smallest sum diameters during study.	From date of first dose of study drug to the date of first documentation of progression or death (approximately up to 13 months)
Duration of Response (DR) Based on Central Independent Review	DR was derived for participants with objective evidence of PR or CR. DR 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. Participants who were alive and progression-free as of the analysis cut-off date were censored at their last evaluable tumor response assessment before initiation of any new anticancer treatment.	From date of first response to the date of first documentation of progression or death (approximately up to 13 months)
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)	An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical condition that occurs in a participants while participating in a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the use of the study treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening, required initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or considered as medically important event. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed or worsened during the TEAE period which was defined as the period from the time of first dose of study treatment until 30 days after last dose of study treatment. AEs included both serious and non- serious adverse events.	From first dose of study drug up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug (approximately up to 13 months)
