Introduction This is a submission to register a new chemical entity (NCE) fixed-dose combination tablet consisting of trifluridine and tipiracil (trade names Lonsurf and Orcantas) for the treatment of metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC). 1.1. Drug class and therapeutic indication 1.1.1. Drug class Pharmacotherapeutic group: antineoplastic agents, antimetabolites. ATC code: L01BC59. Trifluridine is an antineoplastic thymidine-based nucleoside analog which is incorporated into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in tumour cells following phosphorylation. Tipiracil inhibits degradation of trifluridine by inhibiting thymidine phosphorylase (TPase), resulting in increased systemic exposure to trifluridine when trifluridine and tipiracil are given together. 1.1.2. Proposed indication The proposed indication is the treatment of adult patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have been previously treated with, or are not considered candidates for, available therapies including fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based chemotherapies, anti- VEGF agents, and anti-EGFR agents. 1.2. Dosage forms and strengths The submission proposes registration of the following dosage forms and strengths: • Lonsurf/Orcantas 15/6.14: white, round, biconvex, immediate-release, film-coated tablet consisting of the fixed-dose combination of trifluridine 15 mg and tipiracil hydrochloride 7.065 mg (equivalent to tipiracil 6.14 mg) imprinted with ‘15’ on one side and ‘102’ and ‘15 mg’ on the other side in grey ink. To be taken orally. • Lonsurf/Orcantas 20/8.19: pale red, round, biconvex, immediate-release, film-coated tablet consisting of the fixed-dose combination of trifluridine 20 mg and tipiracil hydrochloride 9.420 mg (equivalent to tipiracil 8.19 mg) imprinted with ‘20’ on one side and ‘102’ and ‘20 mg on the other side in grey ink. To be taken orally. 1.3. Dosage and administration The proposed Product Information (PI) states that the recommended starting dose of Lonsurf/Orcantas in adults is 35 mg/m2/dose administered orally twice daily on Days 1 to 5 and Days 8 to 12 of each 28 day cycle as long as benefit is observed or until unacceptable toxicity occurs. The dose is calculated according to body surface area (BSA), rounded to the nearest 5 mg increment. The dosage should not exceed 80 mg/dose. If doses are missed or held, the patient should not make up for missed doses. The PI provides guidelines for dose modification based on individual safety and tolerability relating to both haematologic and non-haematologic toxicities. The PI also includes recommendations for dosage in special populations. The PI specifies that Lonsurf/Orcantas should be taken with a glass of water, within 1 hour after completion of the morning and evening meals. Comment: The dosage of 35 mg/m2/dose is based on the trifluridine component of the fixed-dose combination. AusPAR Attachment 2 Lonsurf and Orcantas PM-2016-00929-1-4 Extract from the Clinical Evaluation Report 6 of 136 2. Clinical rationale The submission included a clinical rationale (justification) for the proposed fixed-dose combination tablet. The key aspects of the clinical rationale provided by the sponsor are provided below. Servier is the Australian sponsor of a new fixed dose combination product (FDC) containing a combination of trifluridine (FTD) and tipiracil hydrochloride (TPI) at a molar ratio 1:0.5 (weight ratio, 1:0.471) to be used in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). FTD is an antineoplastic thymidine-based nucleoside analog which is incorporated into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in tumour cells following phosphorylation. TPI inhibits degradation of FTD by inhibiting thymidine phosphorylase (TPase), thus increasing systemic exposure to FTD when FTD and TPI are given together. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer worldwide. In Australia, there were 17,070 projected new cases diagnosed in 2014, with CRC comprising 13.5% of all new cancer cases diagnosed in 2015. In Australia, patients with unresectable mCRC usually die from the disease, with five year overall survival of about 15%. The primary chemotherapy

    CENTER FOR DRUG EVALUATION AND RESEARCH APPLICATION NUMBER: 207981Orig1s000 PHARMACOLOGY REVIEW(S) MEMORANDUM Lonsurf (trifluridine and tipiracil) Date: September 18, 2015 To: File for NDA 207981 From: John K. Leighton, PhD, DABT Director, Division of Hematology Oncology Toxicology Office of Hematology and Oncology Products I have examined pharmacology/toxicology supporting and labeling reviews for Lonsurf conducted by Drs. Khasar and Fox, and secondary memorandum and labeling provided by Dr. Helms. Following finalization of the primary and secondary reviews, additional discussion occurred about the proper description of the established pharmacological class (EPC) for this combination product. As the anticancer activity of the drug is through the action of the trifluridine portion of the drug, the original recommendation was to use the EPC for this portion of the drug to describe the EPC for LONSURF. Upon further review and discussion, and consistent with practices with other combination products in which one component of the product is present primarily to affect the pharmacokinetics of the other component, the Division revised the recommendation for the EPC for LONSURF to be “LONSURF is a combination of trifluridine, a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor, and tipiracil, a thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor, indicated for…” I concur with Dr. Helms’ conclusion that Lonsurf may be approved for the proposed indication and that no additional nonclinical studies are needed.

E-mail: [email protected] Running Title: TAS-102 for Treatment of Advanced Colorectal Cancer Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest No potential conflicts of interest were disclosed. Abstract TAS-102 is a novel oral formulation of trifluridine (TFT) and tipiracil hydrochloride (TPI), a thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor. TFT was originally synthesized in the 1960s and is a nucleoside analog that impedes DNA synthesis by inhibition of thymidylate synthase. TFT’s main mechanism of action however seems to be its incorporation into DNA, which distinguishes TFT from current well-known antimetabolites like 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The rapid degradation of TFT brought initial clinical development to a halt, but TFT re-entered clinical trials when addition of a TPI was found to improve the bio-availability of TFT. The combined TFT-TPI formulation was tested in patients with treatment- refractory metastatic colorectal cancer in the randomized phase III RECOURSE study.
