E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to assess the anti-tumor activity of TAS-120 as mono-therapy or in combination with fulvestrant in the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer harboring Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) amplifications, as measured by:
1. Objective response rate (ORR) in patients with centrally confirmed FGFR2 amplification and measurable disease (Cohorts 1, 2); 2. Clinical benefit rate (CBR) in patients with centrally confirmed FGFR2 amplification and non-measurable, evaluable disease (Cohort 3); and 3. 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate in patients with centrally confirmed high level FGFR1 amplification and measurable disease (Cohort 4) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary:
1. To determine the complete response (CR) rate in Cohort 3, the ORR in Cohort 4, the CBR in Cohorts 1, 2, and 4, and the 6-month PFS rate in Cohorts 1-3. 2. To evaluate the duration of response (DOR) among patients with objective response in any cohort. 3. To evaluate the PFS and overall survival (OS) in all cohorts. 4. To investigate the safety of TAS-120 as monotherapy and in combination with fulvestrant.
Exploratory:
5. To investigate the downstream pharmacodynamic effects of treatment with TAS-120. 6. To explore markers of response and mechanisms of resistance in tumor tissue biopsies and/or blood 7. To explore PK of TAS-120 by population pharmacokinetics (PopPK) analysis and exposure-response analyses. |
