LONSURF® (Trifluridine and Tipiracil) Tablets Are a Prescription Medicine Used to Treat People with Colon Or Rectal Cancer That LONSURF® (trifl uridine and tipiracil) tablets are a prescription medicine used to treat people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and who have been previously treated with or cannot receive certain chemotherapy medicines. It is not known if LONSURF is safe and effective in children. In a clinical trial, half of the patients treated with LONSURF were still alive at 7.1 months and half of the patients who received placebo were still alive at 5.3 months. Worsening of the disease or death occurred in 88% of patients treated with LONSURF and 94% of patients who received placebo. Selected Important Safety Information Low blood counts. LONSURF can decrease the number of your blood cells. This can sometimes be severe and life-threatening.

    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.

Opdam, Division of Medical Oncology, The Netherlands Cancer Institute - Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital, Postbus 90203, 1006 BE Amsterdam, the Netherlands. 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.

  • Trifluridine-Tipiracil
    Trifluridine-tipiracil DRUG NAME: Trifluridine-tipiracil SYNONYM(S): TAS-1021 COMMON TRADE NAME(S): LONSURF® CLASSIFICATION: antimetabolite Special pediatric considerations are noted when applicable, otherwise adult provisions apply. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Trifluridine-tipiracil is an orally administered antimetabolite comprised of an antineoplastic thymidine-based nucleoside analogue (trifluridine), and a thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor (tipiracil). Once inside the cell, trifluridine is phosphorylated by thymidine kinase and incorporated into DNA, thereby interfering with DNA synthesis and preventing cell proliferation. Tipiracil enhances the oral availability of trifluridine by inhibiting its rapid degradation and subsequent first-pass metabolism by thymidine phosphorylase.1-4 PHARMACOKINETICS: Oral Absorption trifluridine: bioavailability = 57%, tmax = 2 h; tipiracil: bioavailability = 27%, tmax = 3 h; food effect: high-fat, high-calorie food intake reduces trifluridine Cmax and tipiracil Cmax and AUC by 40% Distribution cross blood brain barrier? no information found volume of distribution5 trifluridine: 21 L; tipiracil: 333 L plasma protein binding trifluridine: > 96% (mainly serum albumin); tipiracil: < 8% Metabolism independent of cytochrome P450 enzymes active metabolite(s) no information found inactive metabolite(s) trifluridine: 5-trifluoromethyl uracil (FTY) and others; tipiracil: 6-hydroxymethyluracil Excretion negative correlation between serum albumin levels and trifluridine clearance urine trifluridine: 55%; tipiracil: 27% feces trifluridine: <3%; tipiracil: 50% terminal half life trifluridine: 2 h; tipiracil: 2.4 h clearance trifluridine: 3 L/h; tipiracil: 90 L/h Adapted from standard reference1,3,4 unless specified otherwise.
