Taiho's NDA for mCRC Under FDA Review

Article

The TAS-102 RECOURSE trial met the primary efficacy endpoint of statistically significant improvement in overall survival versus placebo, and the results of the trial form the basis of the NDA.

Taiho Oncology, Inc., a subsidiary of Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Japan), today announced the New Drug Application (NDA) for TAS-102 (nonproprietary names: trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride), has been accepted for review by the FDA. TAS-102 is an oral combination investigational anticancer drug for the treatment of refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

"The FDA's filing of the TAS-102 NDA represents a significant milestone for our company and underscores the need for new treatment options for patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer," said Eric Benn, Taiho Oncology's president and chief executive officer. "Today, we are one step closer to our ultimate goal of gaining regulatory approval for TAS-102 and making it available to patients in the USA with this serious medical condition. We look forward to working closely with the FDA during the NDA review."
