Sponsored by University of California, Irvine · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a phase 1b, prospective, single arm, non-randomized, open-label clinical trial determining the efficacy of adjuvant trifluridine and tipiracil (TAS-102) in combination with irinotecan in patients with ctDNA positive colon adenocarcinoma.
Treatment on study will be administered in 14 day cycles.
1,432 studies on the registry are indexed under Colonic Neoplasms; 357 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 22 is below the median of 90 across 1,034 interventional studies indexed under Colonic Neoplasms.

Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
The effects of TAS-102 on the developing human fetus at the recommended therapeutic dose are unknown. For this reason and because topoisomerase inhibitors are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 90 days following completion of therapy. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
a. A female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients randomized to the experimental arm ("TASIRI") will be treated with TAS-102 25mg/m2 p.o. on days 1-5 and irinotecan 180mg/m2 i.v. on day 1 every 14 days. If ANC \<1500/uL on day 1 of a cycle, then G-CSF will be added on day 6 for three days.
Drug: TAS-102 · Drug: Irinotecan · Combination Product: Standard Treatment · Diagnostic Test: Signatera MRD ctDNA Assay
Given PO
Also known as: LONSURF, trifluoridine and tipiracil
Given IV
Also known as: CAMPTOSAR, CPT-11
6 cycles for a 2-week regimen (infusional 5FU based) and up to 4 cycles for a 3-week regimen (oral capecitabine based) after randomization
To be performed within 6-8 weeks of Cycle 1 Day 1. A Mid-treatment ctDNA is to be completed within 6 - 8 weeks of starting treatment. ctDNA is to also be completed within four weeks after completion of study treatment (+/- two weeks)
Percentage of ctDNA positivity in treatment cohort after 6 cycles or at least 3 months of adjuvant treatment
Percent of patients positive for ctDNA after 6 cycles or at least 3 months months after starting adjuvant treatment will be used to estimate the efficacy of adjuvant trifluridine and tipiracil (TAS102) in combination with irinotecan in patients with ctDNA positive colon adenocarcinoma. The Signatera MRD ctDNA Assay will be used to measure ctDNA positivity.
Time frame: 6 months
Percentage of Grade 3-5 Adverse Events
To evaluate the tolerability of drug-related grade 3-5 adverse events in patients with ctDNA positive colon adenocarcinoma. Toxicity and adverse events are based on the CTCAE (NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) Version 5.0.
Time frame: 8 weeks
