Phase I multicenter, open-label study to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS-102) and oxaliplatin combination in patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
816 Background: Preclinical evidence suggests improved efficacy when combining trifluridine/tipiracil with oxaliplatin compared to each monotherapy (Nukatsuka, 2015). The primary objective was to determine the MTD and the safety profile of the doublet among mCRC pts who have progressed after at least one prior line of treatment. Methods: Using a 3+3 design, eligible pts received escalating trifluridine/tipiracil doses from 25, 30 to 35 mg/m² bid, days 1–5 q14, together with a fixed dose of oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² (day 1). An intermediate cohort with a lower dose of oxaliplatin (65 mg/m²) plus 35 mg/m² of trifluridine/tipiracil was also tested. Results: Fifteen of 17 enrolled pts were evaluabl…
Phase I dose-escalation of trifluridine/tipiracil in combination with oxaliplatin in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
Abstract Background and objectives Pre-clinical data have shown that combining trifluridine/tipiracil with oxaliplatin enhances anti-tumour activity compared with either monotherapy. A phase I dose-escalation study was conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended dose (RD) for phase II and pharmacokinetic profile of this combination in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who had progressed after at least 1 prior line of treatment. Methods Using a 3 + 3 design, patients received escalating trifluridine/tipiracil doses from 25, then 30 and to 35 mg/m2 twice daily, days 1–5, q14 days, together with a fixed dose of 85 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin day 1, q14 days.

A phase I dose-escalation of trifluridine/tipiracil in combination with oxaliplatin in metastatic colorectal cancer.
TPS3626 Background: Trifluridine/tipiracil, also known as TAS‐102, is a combination of an antineoplastic thymidine‐based nucleoside analogue (trifluridine) and a thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor (tipiracil hydrochloride). The antitumor activity of combined trifluridine/tipiracil and oxaliplatin has been studied in gastrointestinal tumor xenografts, including a 5‐FU resistant subline, using a nude mouse model. This study demonstrated increased antitumor activity for the combination compared to trifluridine/tipiracil or oxaliplatin alone (p < 0.001) (Nukatsuka et al., Anticancer Res 2015). These data support the rationale for clinical use of the combination. We describe a phase 1, intern…
