Objective response was defined as proportion of participants who had achieved best overall response of partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. The CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) must had reduction in short axis to \<10 millimeters (mm) and PR was defined as at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.

Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) must had reduction in short axis to \<10 mm and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.

A DOR was defined as the time (in months) from the first documentation of response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of objective progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants who started subsequent anticancer therapy without a prior reported progression were censored at the last tumor assessments prior to initiation of the subsequent anticancer therapy. For Cohorts 1 to 6: DOR was based on IRC and for Group 3, 4, 5, 6 and for pooled Sub-cohort: DOR was based on investigator review.

Sponsor's own description

This is an open-label, nonrandomized, Phase 1/2 study for the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor futibatinib (TAS-120). The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and anti-tumor activity of futibatinib in patients with advanced solid tumors with and without genomic FGF/FGFR abnormalities. The study will be conducted in 3 parts: 1. Dose escalation portion to determine the -Maximum Tolerated Dose and/ or Recommended Phase 2 Dose of futibatinib. 2. Phase 1 expansion portion to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of futibatinib in patients with tumors harboring FGF/FGFR aberrations, including patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), primary central nervous system tumors, urothelial carcinoma, breast cancer, gastric cancer. 3. Phase 2 study portion to confirm objective response rate of futibatinib in intrahepatic CCA patients with tumors harboring FGFR2 gene rearrangements (incl fusions).
