About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Multicenter, Drug-Drug Interaction Study of TAK-788 and Midazolam, a Sensitive CYP3A Substrate, in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to characterize the effect of repeated oral administration of TAK-788 160 milligram (mg) once daily on the single oral and intravenous dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of midazolam.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-788. The study will characterize the effect of repeated oral administration of TAK-788 160 mg on the single oral- and intravenous-dose PK of midazolam, and will assess the safety and tolerability of TAK-788 in participants with advanced NSCLC.

The study will enroll approximately 26 participants. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part A (Cycle 1: PK Cycle) and Part B (Cycle 2 to Cycle 24: Treatment Cycles). In Part A, participants will receive midazolam as an oral dose and intravenous infusion, along with oral dose of TAK-788 in a single 30-day cycle. After completion of Part A, eligible participants may enter Part B. In Part B, participants will continue to receive oral dose of TAK-788 that they were receiving and tolerating at the end of Part A in a 28-day treatment cycle for up to 23 cycles of treatment, or until progressive disease (PD), intolerable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met. Based on the opinion of investigator, if a participant continue to experience clinical benefit, treatment with TAK-788 may be continued after PD.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in Australia, Singapore and the Netherlands. The overall time to participate in this study is 3 years. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic and will be followed up for 30 days after the last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Midazolam and TAK-788 in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung and Lung Neoplasms, run by Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 8 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Australia, Netherlands, Singapore. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Apr 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Part A, Cmax: Geometric Mean Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Midazolam Administered Orally With Mobocertinib (Cycle 1 Day 24) and Without Mobocertinib (Cycle 1 Day 1) (time frame: Cycle 1: Days 1 and 24 pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 24 hours) post-dose (Cycle length is equal to [=] 30 days)). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04051827, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jul 2025.
