Study summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose of TAS-102 administered in combination with CPT-11 in patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumors.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation, Phase 1 study of TAS-102 administered in combination with CPT-11. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: a Dose Escalation Phase (Part 1) to determine the maximum tolerated dose and an Expansion Phase (Part 2) to further evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of the maximum tolerated dose. Patients will be assigned to sequential dose-level cohorts with each cohort corresponding to a pre-specified dose of TAS-102 and CPT-11 combination. Escalation to the subsequent dose level will occur only after the previous dose level is determined to be safe.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    TAS-102 and CPT-11 with or without Bevacizumab

    Drug: TAS-102 · Drug: CPT-11 · Drug: Bevacizumab

Interventions

  • DrugTAS-102

    Escalating doses (20-35 mg/m2/dose, based on tolerability), orally, twice daily on days 1-5 of each 14-day cycle. Number of cycles: until at least one of the discontinuation criteria is met.

  • DrugCPT-11

    Escalating doses (30-minute infusion of 120-180 mg/m2/dose, based on tolerability), IV (in the vein) on Day 1 of each 14-day treatment cycle. Number of cycles: until at least one of the discontinuation criteria is met.

    Also known as: camptothecin-11, irinotecan

  • Dose (infusion of 5 mg/kg administered per site standard practice), IV (in the vein) on Day 1 of each 14-day treatment cycle. Number of cycles: until at least one of the discontinuation criteria is met.

    Also known as: Avastin

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Determine maximum tolerated dose

    The maximum tolerated dose is defined as the highest dose level at which less than 33% of the evaluable patients treated experience a dose-limiting toxicity during Cycle 1 or Cycle 2 (ie, during the first 4 weeks) of study drug administration.

    Time frame: Through Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 (ie, 4 weeks)

  2. Safety monitoring including adverse events, vital signs, and laboratory assessments

    Standard safety monitoring and grading using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) will be used.

    Time frame: Safety is assessed through 30 days following last administration of study medication or until initiation of new anticancer treatment.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Investigate the safety of TAS-102 and CPT-11 at the MTD administered in combination with Bevacizumab (5 mg/kg IV).

    Standard safety monitoring and grading using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) will be used.

    Time frame: Through 30 days following last administration of study medication or until initiation of new anticancer treatment

  2. Investigate the clinical pharmacokinetics (PK) of TAS-102, CPT-11, and their metabolites.

    PK analysis for FTD, FTY, TPI, CPT-11, and SN-38 in plasma and will include Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-last, AUC0-inf, and T1/2. FTD and TPI: CL/F, Vd/F will be calculated.

    Time frame: Blood samples will be collected in Cycle 1 at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 24 and 48 hours post AM dose of TAS-102 in combination with CPT-11.

  3. Document any preliminary antitumor activity of TAS-102 administered in combination with CPT-11 and in combination with CPT-11 and Bevacizumab.

    Tumor assessments using Response Evlauation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

    Time frame: After every 4 cycles (i.e., every 8 weeks)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 5, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
