According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial (NCT02052778) enrolled participants across three stages: a dose-escalation phase (Phase 1), a dose-expansion phase (also Phase 1), and a Phase 2 portion. In the dose-escalation stage, 96 people took part across 14 different dose groups, testing a drug called TAS-120 (also known as futibatinib) at varying amounts given either every other day or once daily. The dose-expansion stage enrolled a further 201 people across six cohorts and two sub-cohorts, and the Phase 2 stage enrolled 120 people (of whom 103 received treatment). Across all stages, the trial was measuring things such as the highest dose that could be given without too many serious side effects, the best dose to carry forward into later testing, and how many participants' tumours shrank or disappeared according to standard imaging criteria. The reported data shows that, in the once-daily dosing arm of the dose-escalation phase, the highest tolerable dose (known as the Maximum Tolerated Dose, or MTD — meaning the highest amount where fewer than one in three participants experienced serious pre-defined reactions in the first treatment cycle) was reported as 20 mg. This 20 mg daily dose was also reported as the recommended dose to take forward into Phase 2 testing. For the every-other-day dosing arm, the reported data shows that an MTD figure was not determined (recorded as "NA" — not available). The reported data for the percentage of participants whose tumours shrank or disappeared (called "objective response") across the dose-expansion cohorts and the Phase 2 portion was not fully included in the data provided to summarise here, so those specific figures cannot be reported. These are the results as reported to ClinicalTrials.gov. They are not medical advice — always discuss what they mean for you with your doctor.
