This is a randomized, open-label, Phase 2 study of TAS-114 administered in combination with S-1, to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the TAS-114/S-1 regimen in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
The study will be conducted internationally in 2 regions: Asian [Japan] and Western [Europe and US]. Patients will be randomized into TAS-114/S-1 arm versus S-1 control arm in a 1:1 ratio.

Overexpression of nucleotide metabolic enzyme DUT in hepatocellular carcinoma potentiates a therapeutic opportunity through targeting its dUTPase activity

Uracil misincorporation during DNA replication is a major cell toxic event, of which cancer cells overcome by activating the dUTPase enzyme. The DUT gene is the only known dUTPase in human. Despite reports on common upregulations in cancers, the role of DUT in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains largely undetermined. In this study, we investigated the mechanism underlying DUT biology in HCC and tumor susceptibility to drug targeting dUTPase. Overexpression of DUT was found in 42% of HCC tumors and correlated with advanced stage HCC. Knockout of DUT in HCC cell lines showed suppressed proliferation through cell cycle arrest and a spontaneous induction of DNA damage. A protective effect from oxidative stress was also demonstrated in both knockout and overexpression DUT assays. Transcriptome analysis highlighted the NF-κB survival signaling as the downstream effector pathway of DUT in overriding oxidative stress-induced cell death. Interestingly, stably expressed DUT in liver progenitor organoids conferred drug resistance to TKI Sorafenib. Targeting dUTPase activity by TAS-114, could potentiate suppression of HCC growth that synergized with Sorafenib for better treatment sensitivity. In conclusion, upregulated DUT represents a nucleotide metabolic weakness and therapeutic opportunity in HCC.

AbstractDeficiency in DNA repair proteins confers susceptibility to DNA damage, making cancer cells vulnerable to various cancer chemotherapies. 5‐Fluorouracil (5‐FU) is an anticancer nucleoside analog that both inhibits thymidylate synthase (TS) and causes DNA damage via the misincorporation of FdUTP and dUTP into DNA under the conditions of dTTP depletion. However, the role of the DNA damage response to its antitumor activity is still unclear. To determine which DNA repair pathway contributes to DNA damage caused by 5‐FU and uracil misincorporation, we examined cancer cells treated with 2ʹ‐deoxy‐5‐fluorouridine (FdUrd) in the presence of TAS‐114, a highly potent inhibitor of dUTPase that restricts aberrant base misincorporation. Addition of TAS‐114 increased FdUTP and dUTP levels in HeLa cells and facilitated 5‐FU and uracil misincorporation into DNA, but did not alter TS inhibition or 5‐FU incorporation into RNA. TAS‐114 showed synergistic potentiation of FdUrd cytotoxicity and caused aberrant base misincorporation, leading to DNA damage and induced cell death even after short‐term exposure to FdUrd. Base excision repair (BER) and homologous recombination (HR) were found to be involved in the DNA repair of 5‐FU and uracil misincorporation caused by dUTPase inhibition in genetically modified chicken DT40 cell lines and siRNA‐treated HeLa cells. These results suggested that BER and HR are major pathways that protect cells from the antitumor effects of massive incorporation of 5‐FU and uracil. Further, dUTPase inhibition has the potential to maximize the antitumor activity of fluoropyrimidines in cancers that are defective in BER or HR.

BACKGROUNDThis is a phase 2 study aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of TAS-114, a novel deoxyuridine triphosphatase inhibitor, combined with S-1 in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC).METHODSEligible patients had AGC with measurable lesions, according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST, v1.1), with two or more previous chemotherapy regimens including fluoropyrimidines, platinum agents, and taxanes or irinotecan. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) according to the RECIST, v1.1. Twenty-nine patients were required according to Simon's optimal two-stage design, with one-sided a = 5% and power = 80%. Threshold and expected ORRs were 5% and 25%. Patients received TAS-114 (400 mg/body, twice a day) and S-1 (30 mg/m², twice a day) for 14 days, followed by 7 days of rest in one 3-week cycle. Protein expression levels of dUTPase and BRCA1 in tumor samples were determined by immunohistochemistry.RESULTSAccrual was terminated in June 2018 because meeting the predefined efficacy criteria was considered difficult. ORR and disease control rate were 5.0% [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.1-24.9%] and 70.0% (95% CI, 45.7-88.1%), respectively, for all 20 patients enrolled. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were 2.4 months (95% CI, 1.2-3.3 months) and 7.1 months (95% CI, 5.2-9.4 months), respectively. Median PFS in the groups with high and low dUTPase protein expression in the cytoplasm was 2.8 months (95% CI, 1.4-3.9) and 1.6 months (95% CI, 0.6-2.4), respectively [hazard ratio, 0.40 (95% CI, 0.16-1.04), log-rank test two-sided p = 0.047]. Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events included anemia (20%), leucopenia (15%), neutropenia (10%), rash (10%), thrombocytopenia (5%), and lymphopenia (5%) CONCLUSIONS: TAS-114 with S-1 showed only modest antitumor activity with acceptable safety profiles for patients heavily pretreated with AGC.
