TAS-102 in Patients With Advanced, Refractory Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Phase II Trial of TAS-102 in Patients With Advanced, Refractory Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

This is a prospective phase II, single arm clinical trial conducted in Queen Mary Hospital (Hong Kong) assessing the efficacy and safety of TAS-102 in advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer patients.

3. Documented progression after one or more lines of systemic chemotherapy

   1. For the treatment of advanced or metastatic disease
   2. Within 6 months after completion of neo-adjuvant therapy or adjuvant therapy

4. Age ≥ 18 years

5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance 0-1

6. Written informed consent obtained for clinical trial participation and providing archival tumor tissue, if available

7. Females of childbearing potential or non-sterilized male who are sexually active must use a highly effective method of contraception

8. Females of childbearing potential must have negative serum or urine pregnancy test

9. Have life expectancy ≥ 3 months

10. Adequate organ function as defined as:

    1. Hemoglobin value of ≥9.0 g/dL.
    2. Absolute neutrophil count of ≥1,500/mm3 (IU: ≥1.5 × 10^9/L).
    3. Platelet count ≥100,000/mm3 (IU: ≥100 × 10^9/L).
    4. Total serum bilirubin of ≤1.5 mg/dL (except for Grade 1 hyperbilirubinemia due solely to a medical diagnosis of Gilbert's syndrome).
    5. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT) ≤3.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN); if liver function abnormalities are due to underlying liver metastasis, AST and ALT ≤5 × ULN.
    6. Serum creatinine of ≤1.5 mg/dL

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Has disease that is suitable for local therapy administrated with curative intent

2. Has a serious illness or medical condition(s) including, but not limited to the following:

   2. Known brain metastasis or leptomeningeal metastasis.
   3. Active infection (i.e. body temperature ≥38°C due to infection).
   4. Ascites, pleural effusion or pericardial fluid requiring drainage in last 4 weeks.
   5. Intestinal obstruction, pulmonary fibrosis, renal failure, liver failure, or cerebrovascular disorder.

   1. Major surgery within prior 4 weeks.
   2. Any systemic therapy within prior 2 weeks.
   3. Any radiation within prior 2 weeks.
   4. Any investigational agent received within prior 4 weeks.

4. Untreated active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infections.

5. Has received TAS-102.

6. Has unresolved toxicity of greater than or equal to CTCAE Grade 2 attributed to any prior therapies (excluding anemia, alopecia, skin pigmentation and platinum-induced neurotoxicity).

7. Is a pregnant or lactating female.
