Study description
The study drug is a combination of two drugs: trifluridine and tipiracil. It is called S95005 or TAS-102.
S95005 (trifluridine + tipiracil) is marketed in several countries around the world. It is used to treat patients with gastric or colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body when standard treatments are no longer effective.
It is a drug that blocks the growth of cancer cells.
The present study is an early access study. The aim was for patients with colorectal cancer to gain access to S95005 before it was marketed in the patient’s country.
This study is a Phase IIIb study. The purpose was to obtain more data on a drug.
The main objective of the study was to have more safety data on the study drug.
- Trifluridine/Tipiracil hydrochloride (S95005)
- CL3-95005-004

How is the study designed?
All participants received the study drug as tablets, at the dose of 35 milligrams per square meter (m²) of body surface area. This means that the dose depends on the size of the participant’s body. Participants took the study drug during time periods called “cycles”. A cycle lasted 28 days.
