The TAGS trial is a global, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating Lonsurf versus placebo in patients with pretreated metastatic gastric cancer. The trial enrolled 507 patients who had received at least two prior regimens for mGC and who were refractory to, or unable to, tolerate further chemotherapy.
Patients were randomized to receive Lonsurf plus best supportive care or placebo plus BSC in order to investigate the efficacy and safety. The primary endpoint is overall survival and secondary endpoint measures include progression free survival, safety and tolerability, as well as quality of life.
Lonsurf is an oral anticancer drug, comprising a combination of trifluridine and tipiracil, whose dual mechanism of action is designed to maintain clinical activity.
