About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study of TAS2940 in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors With EGFR and / or HER2 Aberrations

This is a first-in-human, open label, multicenter study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and the preliminary antitumor activity of TAS2940 in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who are not candidates for approved or available therapies.

Read the detailed description

TAS2940 is a small molecule inhibitor of ERBB family proteins HER2 and EGFR. It has not been evaluated in human subjects yet. The study will be conducted in 2 parts, dose escalation and dose expansion. The dose escalation part will assess the safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose, the recommended phase 2 dose and the recommended dosing regimen of TAS2940 administered orally. The dose expansion part will assess preliminary anti-tumor activity in select solid tumors characterized by HER2 or EGFR aberrations.

Being tested
TAS2940
Medical subject headings
Glioblastoma, Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, Breast Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TAS2940Drug

    Study participants with solid tumors and EGFR or HER2 aberrations will receive TAS2940 tablets daily at increasing doses until MTD is reached.

  • TAS2940Drug

    Study subjects with select solid tumors characterized by EGFR or HER2 aberrations will receive TAS2940 at the dose identified during Dose Escalation phase.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Dose Escalation:Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Determine the incidence of dose-liming toxicities (DLTs) and adverse events (AEs) graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 within the first cycle

    Measured: One Month

  2. Dose Expansion:Overall Response Rate

    Document the ORR, defined as proportion of patients experiencing a best overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial response (PR) based on investigator accessed radiographic response per RECIST 1.1 or RANO criteria

    Measured: 6 Months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Dose Escalation: Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Document the ORR defined as proportion of patients experiencing a best overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial response (PR) based on investigator accessed radiographic response per RECIST 1.1 or RANO criteria

    Measured: 6 Months

  2. Dose Escalation:Pharmacokinetic (PK) Profile

    Evaluation of the maximum observed plasma concentration; time to reach maximum concentration, area under the Concentration-time curve and time it takes for plasma concentration to fall by half its original value (T1/2) of TAS2940

    Measured: 3 Months

  3. Dose Expansion:Incidence of treatment-emergent Adverse Events (Safety and tolerability)

    Safety and tolerability of TAS2940 based on reported AEs, graded according to NCI-CTCAE v.5.0

    Measured: Estimated up to 6 months

  4. Dose Expansion:Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR, defined as time from the first documentation of response to date of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Estimated up to 6 months

  5. Dose Expansion:Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR, defined as the proportion of patients experiencing a best overall response of Stable Disease (SD), PR or CR

    Measured: Estimated up to 6 months

  6. Dose Expansion:Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Date of PR or CR to date of objective progression or death due to any cause.

    Measured: Estimated up to 6 months

  7. Dose Expansion:Pharmacokinetic profile of TAS2940

    Evaluation of the maximum observed plasma concentration; time to reach maximum concentration, area under the Concentration-time curve and time it takes for plasma concentration to fall by half its original value (T1/2) of TAS2940

    Measured: 3 Months

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  2. Study start16 Sep 2021
  3. Primary completion26 Feb 2025
  4. Study completion24 Mar 2025

Why it stopped: After careful review of Taiho's ongoing portfolio and data obtained so far in the context of broader landscape of clinical development in NSCLC HER2mut, Sponsor has made a strategic decision to terminate this study and not based on safety concerns.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TAS2940 in people with Solid Tumor and Glioblastoma, run by Taiho Oncology, Inc. at 3 sites in 2 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 12 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, France. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: After careful review of Taiho's ongoing portfolio and data obtained so far in the context of broader landscape of clinical development in NSCLC HER2mut, Sponsor has made a strategic decision to terminate this study and not based on safety concerns.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Dose Escalation:Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (time frame: One Month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Oct 2025.
