Clinical trial NCT02987959
Conditions: Soft-tissue Sarcoma
Keywords: TAK-228 MLN0128 mTOR
Sponsor: Fox Chase Cancer Center
Start date: 2017-02-21; Completion date: 2020-07-24
Enrollment: 6 participants; Allocation: NA; Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP

Brief summary:
This is an open-label phase II study of TAK-228 for patients ≥ 18 years of age with complex genomic sarcomas exhibiting Phosphoinositide-3 Kinase (PI3K) pathway dysregulation. Patients must have surgically unresectable or metastatic disease that is refractory to at least one prior line of therapy (not including neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy in a curative setting). Patients disease must also have evidence of progression prior to enrollment. The purpose of this study is to determine the antitumor activity in this group of patients. Patients must meet all eligibility criteria as detailed in section 10. A total of up to 33 patients will be included in the study. Patients will undergo screening evaluations to determine eligibility within 28 days of the first dose. All patients will be required to submit baseline tumor samples for analysis. Patients who have had their tumors tested commercially for PI3K/ AKT/mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) alterations will be assessed on a case by case basis for eligibility and for determination as to whether additional tissue is required.

TAK-228 will be administered orally at 3 mg daily for a 21 day cycle. Clinical and laboratory assessments will be made on day 1 of each cycle. Disease will be assessed by comparing unidimensional tumor measurements on pre and peritreatment imaging (CT or MRI) after weeks 6, 12, 18 and every 12 weeks thereafter. Response will be assessed according to RECIST 1.1. Therapy will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent.

1.0 Background and Study Rationale
1.1. Scientific Background
1.1.1. Disease Under Treatment
Sarcomas are a rare, heterogeneous group of mesenchymal tumors. In 2015, there were an 
estimated 14,909 cases of newly diagnosed bone and soft tissue cancers associated with 6,360 
deaths in the United States.  Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) can be classified according to the genetic 
alterations involved in their development: those with oncogenic somatic mutations [e.g. 
gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST)], those with DNA copy number alterations (e.g. 
dedifferentiated liposarcomas), and those with recurrent chromosomal translocations resulting in 
abnormal fusion proteins (e.g. synovial sarcomas). More commonly, sarcomagenesis is a result 
of complex chromosomal abnormalities, as in the case of leiomyosarcomas (LMS), 
myxofibrosarcomas, pleomorphic liposarcomas, pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcomas, malignant 
peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST),  angiosarcomas, high grade undifferentiated 
pleomorphic sarcomas and extraskeletal osteosarcomas.1 These tumors account for 50% of STS 
and display gains and losses of numerous chromosomes or chromosome regions. Many share 
recurrent alterations that play a role in progression of disease and/or metastases.  
With over 100 sarcoma subtypes, a single therapeutic strategy for this group of cancers is 
unfeasible. For patients with advanced STS, the selection of therapy is based on the specific 
sarcoma subtype as well as the patient’s fitness to receive aggressive chemotherapy. With this 
approach, median overall survival for patients with STS remains under two years.2 Broadly, the 
most effective and utilized agents in advanced sarcoma include the anthracyclines, with or 
without the addition of alkylating agents and the combination of gemcitabine and docetaxel. 
Though targeted therapy has significantly improved survival in patients with GIST, the broad use 
of targeted agents in sarcoma has been a challenge.  Pazopanib a multikinase angiogenesis 
inhibitor is the only targeted agent approved for general use in STS after a phase III clinical trial 
demonstrated a progression free survival benefit when compared with placebo (4.6 versus 1.5 
months, P < 0.0001).3
The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is of great interest in sarcoma and cancer in general. This 
pathway is involved in cell proliferation, tumor angiogenesis, and abnormal cellular metabolism 
and its inhibition is an attractive therapeutic target. PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene which 
regulates PI3K activation. PI3K activates AKT which in turn activates mTOR, leading to 
increased cell proliferation and reduction of apoptotic mechanisms. PTEN loss has been been 
linked with the development of some complex genomic sarcomas.4-7 Decreased protein 
expression of PTEN has been noted in 29%-68% of STS with complex genomics.6,8,9
First generation mTOR inhibitors such as rapamycin, temsirolimus and everolimus are specific 
partial inhibitors of mTORC complex 1 signaling, and therefore do not inhibit mTOR complex 2 
(mTORC2). Preclinically, rapamycin and its analogues have inhibited growth of a variety of 
sarcoma cell lines including: rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma. 
Disappointingly, we and others have failed to show benefit in the clinic using first generation 
mTOR inhibitors patients with sarcoma.10-12  A phase II study of ridaforlimus (AP23573; Ariad 
Pharmaceuticals) in advanced refractory bone and STS demonstrated a clinical benefit rate at 16 


16-1047

9
weeks of 29%, with 4 patients achieving a partial response (two with osteosarcoma, one with 
spindle cell sarcoma, and one with malignant fibrous histiocytoma).13  The most significant side 
effects were mucositis, rash, hyperlipidemia, fatigue and thrombocytopenia. In the subsequent 
maintenance study of the oral formulation of this agent, (Sarcoma mUlti-Center Clinical 
Evaluation of the Efficacy of riDaforolimus, SUCCEED), patients who achieved stable disease 
or better after chemotherapy were randomized to ridaforlimus or placebo.   There was a 
statistically significant PFS improvement of 3.1 weeks (17.7 versus 14.6) favoring the 
ridaforlimus arm.14 The lack of significant clinical benefit for these patients resulted in the 
FDA’s denial of regulatory approval for this agent. A phase II study of another agent, 
temsirolimus, given weekly to patients with advanced chemotherapy naïve STS also failed to 
meet its primary endpoint. Two patients (leiomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma) had a partial response 
and median time  to progression was 2.0 months.10 In refractory bone and STS, the response rate 
to everolimus was also dissapointingly low, although toxicity was managable.15 Of importance, 
none of these studies required patients to have tumors with documented dysregulation of the 
mTOR pathway for eligibility.  
PTEN loss, though a relatively frequent event in complex genomic sarcomas, appears to occur in 
approximately only 46% of these tumors. Therefore, preselection for patients whose tumors 
specifically have aberrant signaling of this pathway may lead to better success in clinical trials. 
In addition, RICTOR a major component on mTORC2 has been found to be overexpressed in 
some sarcomas, thus also likely playing an important role in sarcomagenesis.9 Therefore, it is our 
hypothesis that targeting both mTORC1 and mTORC2 with TAK-228,  in sarcomas specifically 
with dysregulation of the PI3-kinase pathway, will translate into clinical benefit for patients. 
1.1.2. TAK-228 
Millennium has developed TAK-228, which is a novel, highly selective, orally bioavailable
adenosine 5’ triphosphate (ATP)-competitive inhibitor of the serine/threonine kinase
referred to as the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). TAK-228 (formerly INK128)
targets 2 distinct mTOR complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2.
TAK-228 selectively and potently inhibits mTOR kinase (IC50 = 1.1 nM), inhibits
mTORC1/2 signaling, and prevents cellular proliferation. The mTOR is a kinase that
regulates cell growth, translational control, angiogenesis, and cell survival by integrating
nutrient and hormonal signals. mTOR kinase plays a key role in several pathways that are
frequently dysregulated in human cancer.16  mTORC1 is best known as a key regulator of
protein translation through phosphorylation of 4EBP1 (the eukaryotic translation Initiation
Factor 4E-binding Protein 1) and ribosomal protein S6 (known as S6) kinase. mTORC2 is
best known for its ability to fully activate protein kinase B (AKT) by phosphorylation on the
S473 site, which regulates proliferation and survival pathways.17
The mTORC is an important therapeutic target that is a key intracellular point of convergence for 
a number of cellular signaling pathways. Inhibiting mTOR may inhibit abnormal cell 
proliferation,tumor angiogenesis, and abnormal cellular metabolism, thus providing the rationale 
for mTOR inhibitors as potential agents in the treatment of a number of indications including 
solid tumor and hematological malignancies, as either monotherapy or in combination with other 
chemotherapeutic agents. Like rapamycin, several newly approved rapalogs (temsirolimus and 


16-1047

10
everolimus) are specific and allosteric inhibitors of mTORC1, and only partially inhibit 
mTORC1 signaling pathways. They do not directly inhibit mTORC2, which has shown to be an 
emerging target in cancer research. TAK-228 was developed to address the incomplete inhibition 
of the mTOR pathway by rapalogs by targeting both mTORC1 and mTORC2.
TAK-228 is being developed for both oncology and non-oncology indications. In
oncology, TAK-228 is being investigated as a treatment for advanced solid tumors and
hematologic malignancies, either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy,
other molecularly targeted therapies, or antihormonal agents. Non-oncology indications
being investigated include fibrotic and inflammatory diseases. 
2.0 NonClinical Summary
2.1. Pharmacology
TAK-228 selectively and potently inhibits mTOR kinase (the concentration inhibiting 50%
of enzyme activity [IC50] is 1.1 nM), inhibits mTORC1/2 signaling, and prevents cellular
proliferation.
TAK-228 inhibited phosphorylation of downstream modulators of mTORC1and mTORC2
in human U87 glioblastoma tumor xenograft models in mice and showed strong tumor
growth inhibition (TGI) at tolerable oral (PO) doses in all 8 xenograft models tested (see IB Ed8 
for details).
2.2. Safety Pharmacology
TAK-228 has a low potential to affect the human ether-à-go-go related gene (hERG)
potassium ion channel and did not affect cardiovascular (CV) parameters in vivo in
telemeterized monkeys.
2.3. Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics
TAK-228 was rapidly absorbed after PO administration to mice, rats, dogs, and monkeys,
with high oral bioavailability. [14C]TAK-228 was rapidly and widely distributed
throughout the body in Long-Evans rats; radioactivity was eliminated from most tissues at
48 hours postdose. TAK-228 displayed dose-proportional plasma exposures, a moderate
propensity to cross the blood-brain barrier, and was modestly bound (70.5%) to human
plasma proteins. TAK-228 distributed mainly to the plasma of human blood. There was no
obvious concentration-dependent red blood cell (RBC) distribution of TAK-228 in human
blood.
TAK-228 did not inhibit P-glycoprotein, but did inhibit breast cancer-resistance protein
(BCRP), organic cation transporter (OCT)1 and OCT2.
M1, the single metabolite (monohydroxylation product) observed in human microsomal
incubations, was also observed in rats and monkeys.  Recently completed in vitro metabolism 
experiments in human hepatocytes using 14C-labeled TAK-228 suggest that TAK-228 is 


16-1047

Version Date 10/12/2018
11
metabolized primarily via CYP1A2 (approximately 31%-40%), with a minor contribution from 
CYP3A4 (approximately 11%-22%). These data suggest that TAK-228 is also metabolized by 
direct glucoronidation (approximately 22%) and an unidentified non-uridine diphosphate 
glucoronysyl transferase pathway (approximately 18%). The new data differ from the previous in 
vitro CYP phenotyping data obtained using recombinant CYP enzymes, which suggested the 
involvement of CYP2C9 (approximately 19%), CYP2C19 (approximately 28%), and CYP3A4 
(approximately 28%) in TAK-228 metabolism. In addition, physiologically based PK modeling 
and simulation using the new metabolism data for TAK-228 suggest that the risk for a 
metabolism-based drug-drug interaction with TAK-228 appears to be low. Therefore, strong 
CYP1A2 inhibitors and CYP inducers should be administered with caution and at the discretion 
of the investigator during the study.
Oral administration of TAK-228 in humans has a low potential for metabolic and
transporter-based drug-drug interactions (DDIs), especially given clinical exposures
observed to date after administration of the highest anticipated therapeutic dose to be used in the 
clinic in oncology indications (total maximum plasma concentration [Cmax] of 0.48 M
[free Cmax of 0.14 M] at 30 mg once weekly [QW]).
2.4. Toxicology
The toxicologic profiles obtained in the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)-compliant and
non-GLP-compliant studies in rats and monkeys were generally consistent with
pharmacologic inhibition of mTORC1/2 activity. Observed toxicities were mostly consistent 
between sexes. TAK-228 repeat-dose GLP studies include completed 28-day and preliminary 
3-month toxicology studies in rat and monkeys, and embryo-fetal studies in rats and rabbits.
The primary dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of TAK-228 in rats and monkeys were secondary to 
an exaggerated pharmacologic response and consisted of body weight loss and associated clinical 
observations that included hunched posture, dehydration, gastrointestinal (GI) distress and 
decreased activity, appetite, and body temperature. In addition to the previously mentioned 
effects, a single monkey in the 3-month toxicology study demonstrated a DLT of skin toxicity 
characterized as progressive acanthosis. The highest exposures tolerated in the preliminary 3-
month rat and monkey toxicology studies were 1233 and 194 nghr/mL, respectively.
Adverse effects in rats included body weight loss, decreased activity, increased glucose and 
insulin levels, alterations in white blood cells, bone marrow and lymphoid depletion, thymic 
necrosis, oligospermia, testes degeneration/atrophy, nonglandular stomach epithelial 
degeneration/ulceration/hyperplasia, pancreatic islet degeneration and fibrosis, lens fiber 
degeneration with cataract correlate, adrenal cortex hypertrophy, pituitary atrophy secondary to 
body weight loss, liver hepatocellular vacuolation, retinal dysplasia with or without optic nerve 
atrophy, and alveolar histiocytosis. The alveolar histiocytosis was only present in the 28-day rat 
study and was absent in the 3-month rat study. Both retinal dysplasia and alveolar histiocytosis 
are thought to be potential background findings. The pancreatic islet degeneration and fibrosis, 
as well as the other findings of lens fiber degeneration, pituitary atrophy, and liver vacuolation, 
were consistent with the mechanism of action (MOA) and effects observed with other rapalogs. 
The microscopic findings observed in the testes, epididymides, and eyes in the 28-day and/or 
3-month rat studies were not resolved after a 14-day recovery period, while partial to complete

resolution was seen in the pancreas, adrenal gland, pituitary, liver, lungs, thymus, nonglandular 
stomach, and bone marrow. 
The adverse effects in monkeys included hunched posture, dehydration, GI distress, and 
decreased activity, appetite, and body weight; increased glucose and insulin; lymphoid and bone 
marrow depletion; adrenal hypertrophy/hyperplasia; pancreatic and salivary gland acinar cell 
secretory depletion; neutrophilic inflammation of GI tract with occasional erosion and ulceration, 
skin effects including ulceration, epidermal hyperplasia, acanthosis and hyperkeratosis; and 
adipose tissue depletion. Additionally, there were sporadic inflammatory findings among some 
animals that were of uncertain association to the test article. The findings in the pancreas, adrenal 
glands, and salivary glands may have been related to a stress response or reduced food 
consumption. The findings observed in repeat-dose monkey studies were generally reversible 
after a 14-day recovery period.
The findings in rat and monkey repeat-dose toxicology studies with TAK-228, including bone 
marrow and lymphoid depletion; GI, liver, pancreas, and skin effects; and effects on glucose and 
insulin levels, can be monitored in clinical trials. The toxicities seen in the repeat-dose 
toxicology studies, such as GI effects and glucose and insulin increases, are consistent with the 
treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including mucositis and hyperglycemia, observed 
to date in patients receiving TAK-228.
Rat and rabbit range-finding embryo-fetal studies demonstrated teratogenic, fetotoxic, and 
abortive effects with TAK-228. Embryo-fetal lethality and/or teratogenic effects have been 
reported with the mTORC1 inhibitors rapamycin and the rapalogs.
TAK-228 was negative for genotoxicity in an in vitro bacterial mutagenesis (Ames) assay, an in 
vivo rat micronucleus assay, and an in vivo rat comet assay. An in vitro chromosomal aberration 
assay with TAK-228 in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) was positive for 
chromosomal aberrations in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. However, the 
weight of evidence from the combined results of a negative mutagenicity assay and negative 
genotoxicity assessments in 2 in vivo assays in 3 tissues (bone marrow, liver, and duodenum) 
demonstrate that TAK-228 does not present a genotoxic risk.
TAK-228 was negative for phototoxicity in the 3T3 fibroblast assay.
3.0 Summary of Effects in Humans 
TAK-228 is in clinical development as a single agent in 3 phase 1 studies including study 
INK128-01 in patients with advanced solid malignancies, study INK128-002 in patients with 
multiple myeloma [MM], non-Hodgkin lymphoma [NHL] and Waldenström macroglobulinemia 
[WM]) and study C31002 to measure the effect of TAK-228 on QTc interval in patients with 
advanced solid malignancies.  It is also being investigated in combination with paclitaxel (with 
or without trastuzumab) in patients with advanced solid tumors (Ph1 study INK128-003), and in 
combination with exemestane or fulvestrant in women with ER+/HER2 (estrogen receptor-
positive /human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein-negative) advanced or metastatic 
breast cancer (Ph1b/2 study C31001)

TAK-228 dosing regimens tested thus far include QD, QW, QD×3days per week (once daily for 
3 consecutive days followed by a 4-day dosing holiday every week), and QD×5days per week 
(once daily for 5 consecutive days followed by a 2-day dosing holiday every week).
Please note that the data described in this section (sections 3.1 and 3.2) was obtained with the 
original unmilled TAK-228 active pharmaceutical ingredient (API); current manufacturing 
process produces milled TAK-228 API (see section 4).
3.1. Pharmacokinetics
Overall, pharmacokinetic (PK) data from Studies INK128-001, INK128-002, and INK128-003 
indicate that TAK-228 exhibits fast oral absorption (time to reach Cmax [tmax], generally between 
1-4 hours after dosing); has dose-linear PK, with a mean plasma half-life of approximately 
8 hours; and does not accumulate meaningfully in plasma when dosed as frequently as once daily 
(QD) and under any of 4 tested dosing regimens. The PK of TAK-228 was generally consistent, 
with no appreciable differences across the clinical studies that measured PK. Neither paclitaxel 
nor TAK-228 appeared to alter the PK of the other agent when co-administered. 
3.2. Safety
As of the clinical data cutoff (09 December 2014), a total of 335 patients had received ≥ 1 dose 
of study drug across studies. A total of 18 deaths that occurred within 30 days of the last study 
drug dose had been reported to the clinical database as of the data cutoff; of these events, 
1 (cardiac arrest; Study INK128-001) was considered related to TAK-228 (see section 5.3.1.1 of 
the IB Ed 8)
At least 1 treatment-emergent SAE, regardless of causality, had been reported in 
125/335 patients (37%). Across the studies and regardless of causality or dosing regimen, the 
most common TEAEs included nausea, fatigue, hyperglycemia, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, 
and decreased appetite.
3.2.1. Study INK128-001
Study INK128-001 is a phase 1, first-in-human, dose-escalation study of single-agent
TAK-228 administered to patients diagnosed with advanced solid malignancies, including,
but not limited to, colorectal, renal, endometrial, and urothelial tumors. Four dosing
schedules are being evaluated (QD, QW, QD×3days per week, and QD×5days per week). Each 
schedule is administered in 28-day cycles.
As of 09 December 2014, a total of 194 patients had been enrolled. Median age at baseline was 
60 years (range, 24-89 years), most (95%) patients are white, and 54% are women. As of data 
cutoff, 42% had received ≥ 1 dose of TAK-228 in 2 treatment cycles, while 8% had entered 
3 cycles, and 10% had entered 4 cycles. The highest number of cycles that had been initiated as 
of data cutoff was 46. 
The maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) for the 4 schedules investigated in INK128-001 were
determined to be 6 mg for QD dosing, 16 mg for QD×3days per week dosing, 10 mg for

Version Date 10/12/2018
14
QD×5days per week dosing, and 40 mg for QW dosing.
Deaths
As of 09 December 2014, a total of 7 patients in this study had died within 30 days of their last 
dose of study drug as reported to the clinical database. One death was due to ventricular 
fibrillation and cardiac arrest, 1 was due to pleural effusion, 1 was due to sepsis, 1 was due to 
respiratory failure, and the remainder was due to disease progression. The event of ventricular 
fibrillation and cardiac arrest was the only case considered study drug-related; details are 
provided in section 5.3.1.1. of the IB Ed8.
Serious Adverse Events
As of the clinical database cutoff date, treatment-emergent SAEs had been reported for 
82 patients (42%) in this study. The most commonly reported (≥ 4 patients, overall) preferred 
terms were stomatitis in 7 patients (4%), pneumonia in 6 patients (3%), abdominal pain or 
anemia in 5, each (3%), and vomiting, asthenia, or renal failure acute in 4, each (2%). 
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Overall, ≥ 1 TEAE was reported for 194 (100%) of the patients. Across the dosing groups, the 
most commonly reported TEAEs were nausea or hyperglycemia, which were each reported in 
125 patients (64%). The second most common TEAE was vomiting (54% of patients), followed 
by fatigue (51%). 
Across all dosing groups, ≥ 1 TEAE of severity ≥ Grade 3 had been reported for 68% of treated 
patients as of the clinical data cutoff date. Severity ≥ Grade 3 TEAEs, regardless of causality, 
that were reported in ≥ 5% of patients as of the data cutoff were hyperglycemia (14% of 
patients), fatigue or hypophosphatemia (8% each), asthenia (7%), anemia or stomatitis (6% 
each), and lymphopenia or nausea (5% of patients each).
Events leading to study discontinuation
Of the 194 patients treated in Study INK128-001 as of the clinical data cutoff, 110 (57%) 
discontinued because of disease progression, 20 (10%) withdrew consent, and 15 (8%) were lost 
to follow-up or discontinued for other reasons. 
A total of 68 AEs led to study discontinuation among 35 patients (18%). Of these events, 
32 (47%), including 16 nonserious AEs, were reported as severity Grade 3, and 6 SAEs were 
Grade 5. No Grade 4 events were reported as resulting in study discontinuation. Most (71%) 
events were considered study drug-related and had resolved as of the data cutoff date.
A total of 12 preferred terms were reported as leading to discontinuation for >1 patient, including 
rash (9 patients, including the terms maculopapular [5 patients], rash [2], and rash erythematous 
or rash pruritic [1 each]), nausea or stomatitis (7 patients each), pruritus or pruritus generalized 
(4 patients total), and asthenia, fatigue, renal failure/renal failure acute (3 patients, each). Events 
reported in 2 patients included hyperglycemia, pain or pain in extremity, performance status 
decreased, and vomiting.

15
Study INK-002 is a completed phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study of oral TAK-228
administered as a single agent in patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic
malignancies (MM or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including WM). A total of 39 patients
received TAK-228 in 1 of 2 regimens: 26 patients received QD doses (range, 2-7 mg) and
13 patients were dosed on a QD×3days per week schedule (range, 9-12 mg). The MTD for the 
QD schedule was 4 mg. The MTD for the QD×3days per week schedule was 9 mg.
A total of 21 of the patients (54%) in this study were male and 87% were white. The
median age at baseline was 61 years (range, 46-85 years).
Deaths
Two patients died during Study INK128-002. One death was due to a subdural hemorrhage,
and the other was due to disease progression. Both events were considered by the
investigator to be unrelated to TAK-228.
Serious Adverse Events
Treatment-emergent SAEs were reported in Study INK128-002 for 11 patients (28%). No
SAE occurred in more than 1 patient. Overall, most SAEs were considered severity Grade 2
or 3. Grade 4 SAEs were reported in 2 patients: hyperviscosity syndrome and
hyponatremia were reported in 1 patient in the 2-mg QD dose group (both events resolved);
and acute renal failure was reported in 1 patient in the 12-mg QD×3days per week dose group 
(resolved with sequelae).
No SAEs were considered to be related to TAK-228 treatment, with the exception of
3 events that were reported in 1 patient. This patient experienced Grade 2 pneumonia on
Day 58 that resolved without sequelae on Day 60. On Day 121, the same patient
experienced SAEs of pneumonia (Grade 2) and hypoxia (Grade 3). The 3 events improved
by Day 125 and were resolved as of Day 142. All 3 events were considered by the
investigator to be related to TAK-228.
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
All patients in Study INK128-002 experienced at least 1 TEAE. Overall, nausea was the
most frequently reported preferred term (in 56% of patients), followed by fatigue (49%),
hyperglycemia (38%), thrombocytopenia (36%), and diarrhea (28%).
TEAEs of severity ≥  Grade 3 were reported in 24 patients (62%); of these, 18 patients (46%)
experienced ≥  Grade 3 events that were considered related to study drug. The most common
study drug-related ≥ Grade 3 TEAEs were thrombocytopenia (in 15% of patients) and
fatigue (10%).
Events Leading to Study Discontinuation
Overall, a total of 20 patients (51%) in Study INK128-002 discontinued due to progressive
disease, 11 patients (28%) withdrew consent, and 6 (15%) discontinued due to investigator
decision or other reasons.
Most events leading to study discontinuation were considered nonserious. Fatigue was reported 


16-1047

16
as resulting in study discontinuation in 2 patients; all other events were reported as leading to 
study discontinuation in 1 patient only. 
3.2.3. Study INK128-003
Study INK128-003 is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study of oral TAK-228
administered in 4-week cycles in combination with paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid 
malignancies (lung, ovarian, endometrial, breast, pancreatic, prostate, etc).As of the clinical data 
cutoff date, the treatment period for the primary endpoint had completed and long-term treatment 
for 1 patient remained ongoing.
In this study, 67 patients received ≥ 1 study drug dose under 1 of 3 dosing schedules: QW; 
QD×3days per week; and QD×5days per week. With each regimen, paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 was 
dosed on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Patients who tested positive for HER2+ received the 
combination and also received trastuzumab QW.
At total of 57% of the patients are women and 93% are white. At baseline, the median age was 
60 years (range, 21-81 years). 
On the basis of dose escalation data, 8 mg of TAK-228 on the QD×3days per week schedule was 
selected for the dose expansion phase in patients with breast cancer. The QD×5days per week 
and QW schedules were abandoned before MTDs were declared, as they were viewed as being 
less convenient relative to the QD×3days per week schedule from the perspective of 
administering the paclitaxel and trastuzumab combination. 
Overall in the dose expansion phase, patients entered a median of 3.0 treatment cycles (range, 
1-19 cycles) and a mean (SD) of 5.6 (6.07) cycles. The overall median duration of exposure was 
7.5 weeks, with a duration over 2-fold greater (11.1 weeks) in the TAK-228 8 mg QD×3days per 
week HER2- treatment group relative to the TAK-228 8 mg QD×3days per week HER2+ plus 
trastuzumab group (5.2 weeks). The median cumulative dose was 189.0 mg. Across treatment 
groups, patients received approximately 75% of their planned dose of TAK-228.
Deaths
As of the clinical data cutoff date, 9 patients in this study had died within 30 days of 
administration of their last dose of study drug. Of these patients, 6 died due to disease 
progression, 1 died due to failure to thrive, 1 died due to enlarging tumor mass causing tracheal 
compression, and 1 died due to pneumonia. None of the events were considered related to TAK-
228.
Serious Adverse Events
As of the clinical data cutoff date, 55 SAEs had been reported among 29 patients (43%) in this 
study. Overall, 23 patients (49%) reported ≥ 1 SAE during the Dose Escalation phase and 
6 patients (30%) reported ≥ 1 SAEs during the Expansion phase. The most frequently reported 
SAEs overall were pneumonia (6 patients), vomiting (2 patients, plus hematemesis in 1 patient), 
small intestinal obstruction (3 patients), and stomatitis, esophageal carcinoma, sepsis, and failure 
to thrive in 2 patients each. SAEs reported in most patients (85%) were considered not study

17
drug-related, including all of the fatal events. No SAE event terms were reported in >1 patient in 
the Dose Escalation phase.
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
All patients treated in Study INK128-003 reported at least 1 TEAE. The most common (≥ 
10% of patients) TEAEs, regardless of causality, that were reported as of the clinical 
database cutoff include fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea, which were reported in 67%, 60%, 
and 52% of patients, respectively.
Regardless of causality, TEAEs reported in 54 patients (81%) overall were assessed as severity ≥ 
Grade 3. The most commonly reported ≥ Grade 3 TEAEs included neutropenia (21% of 
patients), hypophosphatemia (15%), diarrhea or hyperglycemia (12% of patients each), and 
fatigue, hypokalemia, and vomiting (10% of patients each). 
Events Leading to Study Discontinuation
All but 1 patient had discontinued from TAK-228 treatment in Study INK128-003 as of the 
clinical data cutoff. Reasons for discontinuation for the other 66 patients included disease 
progression (54%), patient decision (24%), or ≥ 1 TEAE (21%). Events reported as leading to 
study discontinuation for more than 1 patient included fatigue (4 patients) and pneumonia, rash 
(erythematous or macular), failure to thrive, or vomiting (2 patients, each). A majority (52%) of 
the events were considered not related to TAK-228. A total of 9 events (43%) were considered 
serious and 12 were assessed as severity ≥ Grade 3, including 3 fatal events. Ten events 
remained ongoing as of the last contact with the patients.
3.2.4. Study C31001 
Study C31001 is a phase 1b/2 study of the safety and efficacy of TAK-228 in combination with 
exemestane or fulvestrant in women with ER+/HER2 advanced or metastatic breast cancer that 
has progressed on prior treatment with everolimus in combination with exemestane or 
fulvestrant. Patients in this study continue receiving their same prior therapy (either exemestane 
or fulvestrant) at the same dose, in combination with TAK-228. 
As of the clinical data cutoff date, 16 patients had received ≥ 1 TAK-228 dose along with either 
exemestane (7 patients) or fulvestrant (9 patients). A total of 88% of the women treated as of the 
data cut were white. At baseline, their median age was 56.5 years (range 42-74 years). Of the 
original 16 patients, 12 remained ongoing as of data cutoff.
Deaths
As of the clinical data cutoff date, no patient had died within 30 days of administration of their 
last dose of study drug. 
Serious Adverse Events
As of the clinical data cutoff date, 3 treatment-emergent SAEs (ataxia, pneumonitis, and upper 
respiratory tract infection) had been reported in 3 patients (19%). The SAE of ataxia resulted in a 
dose delay, and no action was taken in response to the other events. All 3 events were reported as

18
being severity Grade 3 and all had resolved as of the data cut. Only the event of pneumonitis was 
considered related to study drug. 
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
The most common (≥ 12% of patients) TEAEs, regardless of causality, include nausea, fatigue, 
and diarrhea or stomatitis, which were reported in 69%, 50%, and 44% of patients, respectively.
Regardless of causality, the most common TEAEs considered severity ≥Grade 3 were alanine 
aminotransferase increased, diarrhea, fatigue, and nausea, each of which were reported in 
2 patients
Events Leading to Study Discontinuation
Four patients had discontinued from TAK-228 treatment as of the clinical data cutoff. Reasons 
for discontinuation were disease progression (2 patients), patient decision (1), and  ≥ 1 TEAEs 
(1). The TEAE leading to discontinuation was Grade 3 nausea in a patient in the 
MLN0218+fulvestrant arm. The event was not considered related to study drug and had resolved 
as of data cutoff.  
3.2.5. Study C31002 
Study C31002 is a phase 1 open label, single-arm, multicenter study to evaluate the effect of a 
single dose of 40 mg TAK-228 on the QT/QTc (QT interval corrected for heart rate) in patients 
with advanced solid tumors. After completing the per-protocol PK/ECG assessments on Cycle 1, 
Day 3, patients may continue to receive TAK-228 if, in the opinion of the investigator, the 
patient is deriving clinical benefit, until they experience disease progression. Patients continuing 
treatment receive TAK-228 30 mg QW in 28-day cycles. 
As of the clinical data cutoff date, 19 patients had received ≥ 1 TAK-228 dose in this study and 
3 had entered Cycle 2. A total of 53% are women and 74% are white. At baseline, their median 
age was 63.5 years (range, 46-76 years). Of the original 19 patients, 16 remained ongoing as of 
data cutoff.
Deaths
As of data cutoff, no reports of events having fatal outcomes had been reported to the clinical 
database as of data cutoff. 
Serious Adverse Events
Serious adverse event information had not been reported to the clinical database as of the data 
cutoff date.
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
The most common (≥ 10% of patients) TEAEs, regardless of causality, include nausea, fatigue, 
decreased appetite, and vomiting, which were reported in 53%, 42%, 32%, and 21% of patients, 
respectively. Information regarding severity of TEAEs had not been reported to the clinical

database as of data cutoff.
Events Leading to Study Discontinuation
As of data cutoff, 2 patients had discontinued due to ≥ 1 AE. The preferred term for 1 event was 
pelvic pain. The other event had not been coded as of data cutoff;  Both events were reported as 
being Grade 4 in severity, had not yet resolved as of data cutoff, and were not considered study 
drug-related.
4.0 Updated Manufacturing Process
A new TAK-228 capsule containing milled active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is available 
for new clinical studies in 1 mg, 3 mg and 5 mg strengths. 
RP2D for milled TAK-228 daily schedule was determined to be 3 mg QD 
The selected dose of 3 mg TAK-228 QD is based on the findings from 2 studies: Study 
INK128-001 and Study MLN0128-1004. 
Study INK128-001was the first-in-human study of TAK-228. This was an open-label study 
designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to identify dose-limiting 
toxicities (DLTs) for oral administration of single-agent unmilled TAK-228, and to 
characterize the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of TAK-228 in patients with 
advanced solid tumors. In this study, 116 patients with advanced solid tumors received TAK-
228 (2 – 40 mg via 4 dosing schedules: QD [once a day] (31 patients), QDx3 QW [3 days per 
week] (33 patients), QDx5 QW [5 days per week] (22 patients), and QW [once a week] (30 
patients) in the dose escalation phase. The MTD of TAK-228 QD was 6mg. 
Based on the safety profile, PK/pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy the 5 mg QD and 
40 mg QW dosing regimens were selected for further evaluation in the expansion phase in 
patients with renal cell carcinoma, endometrial cancer, or bladder cancer (n=82). 
Scale-up manufacturing of TAK-228 required the introduction of a physical milling step 
during the granulation process to control for particle size distribution of TAK-228 drug 
substance. In order to observe whether this milling step altered the safety and PK profile of 
TAK-228, the recommended dose of milled TAK-228 QD was re-evaluated in Study 
MLN0128-1004 (see Table below). A total of 17 patients were enrolled and assigned, 
sequentially to 2 QD dosing cohorts. PK, safety, and tolerability were assessed.

As only 1 patient in the 3 mg QD dose cohort experienced DLT in Cycle 1, the 3 mg TAK-228 
QD was determined as MTD for milled TAK-228. 
5.0 Clinical Summary of Safety
5.1.  Special Warnings and Precautions for Use
5.1.1. Insulin and Glucose Levels
Hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia are known toxicities associated with inhibition of
mTOR and related pathways based on clinical and nonclinical studies.
A rise in fasting plasma glucose has been observed as early as 1 to 2 days following oral
administration of TAK-228. Daily in-home glucose monitoring and early initiation of
treatment of the hyperglycemia are essential. Daily home monitoring and early treatment, have 
resulted in good control of glucose levels for themajority of TAK-228-treated subjects who 
developed hyperglycemia. 
5.1.2. Cardiac Effects
Cardiac events (including QT interval corrected for heart rate prolongation and arrhythmias)
have been infrequently observed in clinical studies of TAK-228. To date, there has been
1 report of ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest postdose that had a fatal outcome and
was assessed as related to TAK-228. Routine cardiac monitoring with baseline electrocardiogram 
(ECG) and on-study ECGs and physical examination constitute the core cardiac safety 
monitoring in all TAK-228 studies.
For subjects showing any signs of cardiac instability after TAK-228 dosing, additional
monitoring onsite before clinic discharge should be considered.
5.1.3. Renal Function
Elevations in creatinine (regardless of causality) have been observed in subjects receiving TAK-
228, all of which have been reversible with drug interruption and/or supportive care with IV 
hydration. Further evaluation of the renal insufficiency with urine electrolytes suggested a pre-
renal etiology with a low fractional excretion of sodium < 1%. However, the adverse event cases 
were confounded by multiple factors such as nausea, vomiting, hyperglycemia, concomitant 
medications with GI side effects such as metformin, and hydronephrosis, any of which may have 
also contributed to dehydration and elevated creatinine. Subjects should be encouraged to drink 
at least 20 ounces of fluids a day, especially on days requiring fasting (per protocol), with 
administration of IV fluids in the clinic as indicated to avoid dehydration.
Baseline macroscopic urinalysis and routine serum chemistries along with other safety
laboratory assessments are performed in all TAK-228 studies. Additionally, microscopic
urinalysis, a 12-hour urine collection, spot urine electrolytes, protein and creatinine, and
serum chemistry should be collected at any time when the serum creatinine is ≥ Grade 1,
according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events

version 4.0, to further evaluate possible etiologies for the renal dysfunction.
5.1.4. Rash
Rash observed in clinical studies of TAK-228 tends to be maculopapular and pruritic and
has ranged from Grade 1 to 3. For the most part, rash and pruritus improve with
antihistamines, topical steroid creams, and/or dose interruption. Some subjects have
required pulse systemic steroids, dose reduction, and/or study treatment discontinuation.
5.1.5. Pneumonitis
Pneumonitis is a known potential risk of mTOR inhibitors. Early recognition, prompt 
intervention, and a conservative risk management approach are recommended due to 
pneumonitis that has been observed with rapalog therapy and with TAK-228 administration. 
Symptoms of pneumonitis will be closely monitored in all TAK-228 study subjects.
5.2. Interactions With Other Medications and Other Forms of Interaction
Clinical drug-drug interaction studies have not been conducted with TAK-228. At this
time, there are no known drug interactions. In vitro data, including cytochrome P450
induction/inhibition and transporter inhibition studies conducted for TAK-228, suggest a
low risk for TAK-228 to precipitate a drug-drug interaction. Although potential drug-drug
interactions with TAK-228 cannot be ruled out based on the known metabolism characteristics of 
TAK-228, the potential risk is considered low.
6.0 Study Rationale
6.1. Rationale for trial and selected study population
mTOR is a serine/threonine protein kinase that is dysregulated in many sarcoma subtypes. It 
regulates metabolism, homeostasis, survival and proliferation. Previous work on complex 
genomic sarcomas such as LMS, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and MPNST have 
reported rates of PTEN protein loss in by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or western blot analysis 
in 29%-68% of the sarcomas.6,9 Subsequent activiation of AKT has been noted in over 50% of 
sarcomas with partial or complete loss of PTEN expression.9 Additionally, in a murine model of 
LMS, Hernando and collegues have shown the critical role of the AKT/mTORC1 pathway in 
sarcomagenesis.4 Similar models in MPNST suggest PTEN dosage and its signaling pathways 
are critical in transformation from a neurofibroma to MPNST.18,19   Given the overall poor 
survival in patients with advanced STS, few new active agents in clinical use, and the importance 
of the mTOR pathway in this disease, there is rationale for this study. 
6.2. Rationale for assays
All potential patients must consent to assessment of  a baseline tumor sample prior to entry. This 
may require a biopsy. This tumor sample will be used to assess PTEN protein and genomic 
levels in order to determine eligibility. PTEN protein loss will be determined by IHC. For 
complex genomic sarcomas such as LMS, UPS and pleomorphic rhabomyosarcoma or

22
pleomorphic liposarcoma, PTEN protein loss appears to occur as a result of deletion of the 10q 
chromosomal region containing the PTEN locus. Gibault and colleagues showed that partial or 
complete loss of PTEN gene by array-comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH) occurs in 39-
46% of these sarcomas with complex genomics, and that a partial loss may be sufficient for a 
pathologic phenotype.9
On the other hand, in angiosarcomas and MPNST activation of the PIK3CA/AKT/mTOR 
pathway is not related to intragenic deletion of PTEN.7 Promoter hypermethylation of the PTEN 
gene may play a role in the pathogeneis of this MPNST.6 PIK3CA mutations found in 14-18% of 
myxoid and round cell liposarcoma are rare events in other sarcomas.20,21  Our report of 
multiplatform molecular profiling in over 2000 sarcomas confirmed PTEN protein loss in 
approximately 40% of complex genomic sarcomas, with very low rates of PIK3CA and PTEN 
mutations.22 
Thereofore, PTEN loss appears to be a relatively frequent event in complex genomic sarcomas, 
resulting in activation of AKT and the mTOR pathway. Though more commonly this is due to 
loss of the chromosome 10 region encompassing the PTEN gene, there may be other alterations 
as well. Thus, PTEN will be assessed at baseline both by protein expression and using SNP-
based chromosome microarray analysis. The latter technique will be used to assess PTEN 
deletion and PIK3CA and PTEN mutations.  
6.3. Rational for selected agent
Despite promising preclinical data first-generation inhibitors of mTOR have been unsuccessful 
clinically. These agents selectively inhibit mTORC1 leaving mTORC2 unchecked, with resultant 
upstream upregulation of AKT. RICTOR a major component on mTORC2 has been found to be 
overexpressed in some sarcomas.9 TAK-228 is a selective competitor of both mTORC1 and 
mTORC2. In vitro testing of TAK-228 has demonstrated anti-proliferative activity in cell lines of 
MPNST, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, liposarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma. This anti-
proliferative activity is higher than seen with rapamycin. Similar to rapamycin treatment, TAK-
228 resulted in inhibition of phosphorylation of S6K1 and S6 consistent with inhibition of 
mTORC1 activity. In contrast, TAK-228 also inhibited phosphorylation of NDRG1 at Thr346, 
suggesting mTORC2 inhibition in sarcoma cell lines. Through western immunoblotting it was 
also noted that TAK-228 prevented feedback upregulation of pAKT. Treatment with rapamycin 
on the other hand, led to an increase in pAKT473. Xenograft models of Ewing’s sarcoma and 
MPNST exhibited tumor growth suppression when exposed to TAK-228 and induction of 
apoptosis was seen in rhabdomyhosarcoma models. Therefore, TAK-228 a selective, highly 
potent inhibitor of both mTORC1 and mTORC2 appears to be the optimal agent to test in 
patients with complex genomic sarcomas whose tumors have mTOR pathway dysregulation. 
6.4. Rationale for endpoints
Unlike traditional chemotherapeutic agents, non-cytoreductive therapies are not expected to 
necessarily demonstrate tumor shrinkage, but rather stabilization of disease. In that regard, the 
European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) has identified criteria 
for success in phase II STS studies using absence of progression (or progression free rate PFR)

as a primary endpoint. References for drug activity are defined as a 6 month PFR ≥ 30-56% 
depending on histology for first line treatment and a 3 month PFR ≥ 40% in the second line 
setting.23 An ineffective agent will have a PFR of ≤ 20% in the second line setting.

9.1. Overview of Study Design
This is an open-label phase II study of TAK-228 for patients ≥ 18 years of age with complex 
genomic sarcomas exhibiting PI3-kinase pathway dysregulation. Patients must have surgically 
unresectable or metastatic disease that is refractory to at least one prior line of therapy (not 
including neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy in a curative setting). Patients disease must also have 
evidence of progression prior to enrollment. The purpose of this study is to determine the

24
antitumor activity in this group of patients. Patients must meet all eligibility criteria as detailed in 
section 10. A total of up to 24 patients will be included in the study. Patients will undergo 
screening evaluations to determine eligibility within 28 days of the first dose. All patients will be 
required to submit baseline tumor samples for analysis. Patients who have had their tumors 
tested commercially for PI3K/AKT/mTOR alterations will be assessed on a case by case basis 
for eligibility and for determination as to whether additional tissue is required. 
TAK-228 will be administered orally at 3 mg daily for a 21 day cycle. Clinical and laboratory 
assessments will be made on day 1 of each cycle. Disease will be assessed by comparing 
unidimensional tumor measurements on pre and peritreatment imaging (CT or MRI) after weeks 
6, 12, 18 and every 12 weeks thereafter. Response will be assessed according to RECIST 1.1. 
Therapy will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of 
consent.

provided below. 
9.2.3.1.
 Laboratory Safety Evaluations (Hematology, Chemistry and 
Urinalysis, βHCG, Thyroid and Coagulation parameters)
Laboratory tests for hematology, chemistry, urinalysis, and others are specified in the study 
calendar. Laboratory tests for screening will be performed ≤ 28 days before drug initiation. After 
Cycle 1, pre-dose laboratory procedures can be conducted up to 72 hours prior to dosing.  
Results must be reviewed by the investigator or qualified designee and found to be acceptable 
prior to each dose of trial treatment. 
9.2.3.2.
 Fasting blood glucose
Patients will be monitored by fasting serum glucose (FSG) levels at screening and prior to 
initiation of each cycle. In addition to monitoring at clinic visits, all subjects will be given a 
glucometer to monitor their daily pre-dose fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels at home. Subjects 
will record their pre-dose fasting blood glucose levels in their diary. Subjects will be instructed 
to notify the study staff immediately with any abnormal readings (ie, ≥ 150 mg/dL) for further 
instructions on the management of their hyperglycemia. If no irregularities in the fasting blood 
glucose level are observed during a minimum of 2 consecutive months, then the frequency of in-
home fasting glucose testing may be reduced to once weekly if the sponsor investigator 
approves.  
9.2.3.3.
 Lipid Panel
Patients will be monitored with fasting lipid panels (including tryglycerides and total cholesterol) 
at screening and prior to initiation of each cycle. 
9.2.3.4.

treatment and as needed during treatment. 
9.2.4.  Other Procedures
9.2.4.1.
 Withdrawal/Discontinuation
When a subject discontinues/withdraws prior to trial completion, all applicable activities 
scheduled for the final trial visit will be performed at the time of discontinuation.  Any adverse 
events, which are present at the time of discontinuation/withdrawal, will be followed in 
accordance with the safety requirements outlined in Section 14.
9.2.4.2.
 End of Treatment Visit 
The end of treatment visit will be conducted when all toxicities have resolved to Grade 1 or 
lower (or baseline if condition present on study entry) or is deemed to be irreversible.  Subjects 
should have follow-up CT chest, abdomen and pelvis for disease assessment at the end of 
therapy if clinically feasible. 
9.2.4.3.
 Follow-up Visits
Upon discontinuation of treatment patients will transition to the follow-up stage of the trial.
Patients will be assessed every 3 months for the first 2 years, then every 6 months for 2 years, 
then annually for survival. Subjects who discontinue treatment for reasons other than disease 
progression should continue to have radiographic assessments of disease at least every 3 months 
until documented disease progression 
9.3.  Patient Registration 
Eligible participants will be entered on study centrally by the Fox Chase Cancer Center study 
monitor or their designee.  Participants may be registered from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm EST 
excluding holidays by emailing the study monitor at: FCCC.MONITOR@fccc.edu.

Step 1 Registration: After all the eligibility criteria under “Step 1 Screening Inclusion criteria” 
and “Step 1 Screening Exclusion criteria” are confirmed , submit the completed registration 
form, consent, HIPAA signature pages and eligibility checklist via email to study monitor at: 
FCCC.MONITOR@fccc.edu.. Upon receipt of these documents, the study monitor or their 
designeewill complete the step 1 registration and assign a sequence number to the participant. 
Step 2 Registration: Following the assignment of a sequence number proceed with confirming 
eligibility criteria under “Step 2 Screening Inclusion criteria” (section 10.3.1). Once eligibility 
criteria (section 10.3.1) is confirmed submit results via email to the study monitor for 
confirmation of Step 2 registration. The study monitor or their designeewill notify the site by 
email once step 2 registration is confirmed.

alpha 0.09, beta 0.2).  A total of 24 evaluable patients will be required.  The first stage will 
include 14 patients. If there are at least 3 patients with benefit in the first stage, the second stage 
will be allowed.  At the end of the second stage the treatment will be considered effective if at 
least 8 patients are progression free at 12 weeks out of 24. Patients will be considered 
enrolled/registered once eligibility is confirmed.  
9.5. Duration of Study
Patients will continue on study until disease progression or prohibitive toxicity.  Overall survival 
will be assessed every 3 months for the first 2 years, every 6 months for the next 2 years, and 
annually until death.  The accrual period is estimated to be 24 months.

11.0STUDY DRUG
11.1. Study Drug Administration
All protocol-specific criteria for administration of TAK-228 must be met and documented before 
drug administration. 
TAK-228 will be administered on an empty stomach. Patients should be instructed to refrain 
from eating and drinking (except for water and prescribed medications) for 2 hours before and 1 
hour after each dose.  
Patients will be instructed to take their study medication at approximately the same time on each 
scheduled dosing day and not to take more than the prescribed dose at any time. Patients must 
swallow the study medication whole and not chew it, open it, or manipulate it in any way before 
swallowing. If a patient does not take their TAK-228 dose within the time frame specified (+/- 


16-1047

Version Date 10/12/2018
34
12 h of the dose), then the dose should be skipped and considered a missed dose. Patients will 
record any missed doses in their diary and resume drug administration at the next scheduled time 
with the prescribed dosage. Under no circumstance will a patient repeat a dose or double-up 
doses.
If severe emesis or mucositis prevents the patient from taking scheduled doses, that dose will be 
skipped. If emesis occurs after study medication ingestion, the dose will not be readministered, 
and patients should resume dosing at the next scheduled time with the prescribed dosage. 
Patients should record the occurrence of the emesis in their dosing diaries. Under no 
circumstance should a patient repeat a dose or double-up doses.
11.1.1.  Dose modification Guidelines
In general, TAK-228 will be administered in continuous cycles, which will continue  unless the 
patient has a Grade 3 or greater TAK-228 -related event (adverse events considered to be at least 
possibly related to study drug). Guidelines for dose interruption and for dose reduction are as 
follows:
11.1.1.1.
 Criteria for Dose Interruption During a Cycle 
Administration of TAK-228 will be withheld for treatment-related toxicities that are Grade 3 or 
higher, despite supportive treatment per standard clinical practice. 
The following nonhematologic toxicities  at least possibly related to TAK-228 will not require 
dose interruption:

Grade 3 or higher nausea and/or emesis in the absence of optimal anti-emetic prophylaxis. 

Grade 3 or higher diarrhea that occurs in the absence of optimal supportive therapy.

Grade 3 fatigue.
11.1.1.2.
 Criteria for Dose Reduction
In general, TAK-228 administration will be withheld for TAK-228-related toxicities that are ≥ 
Grade 3 despite supportive treatment per standard clinical practice.  If the event resolves to 
Grade 1 or Grade 2 within 3 weeks of interrupting treatment (except for hyperglycemia – see 
below), the patient will resume study treatment at a dose reduced by 1 level.  If dose 
modification is required for patients receiving 2 mg QD, then the dosing frequency should be 
decreased to 5 days per week instead of decreasing the daily dose administered.  If TAK-228 
dosing is delayed for more than 21 consecutive days for TAK-228-related toxicity despite 
supportive treatment per standard clinical practice, or more than 3 dose reductions of TAK-228 
are required in a patient, stop TAK-228 therapy, discontinue the patient from the study. Patients 
should be monitored until resolution of all toxicities to ≤ Grade 1 (or baseline if condition 
present on study entry) or is deemed to be irreversible. The end of treatment (EOT) visit should 
be performed at that time.  Specific guidelines for clinical events of interest are detailed in 
section 11.2. These detailed recommendations will supersede these general guidelines when 
considering events of clinical interest.

11.2. Management of Clinical Events 
A patient who experiences more than one TAK-228 related AE ≥ Grade 3 for the same toxicity 
should be discontinued from study unless deriving clinical benefit, in which case, they may 
restart TAK-228 at a reduced dose level after recovery ≤ Grade 1 and with approval of the 
Sponsor.
11.2.1. Management of Hyperglycemia
On the basis of the clinical experience in TAK-228 trials, most episodes of hyperglycemia 
observed occurred within the first 60 days after initiation of treatment with TAK-228 and have 
been either Grade 1 or Grade 2, and have responded quickly to oral metformin. Hyperglycemia 
has not been dose-limiting since the institution of a standard regimen for early treatment of 
hyperglycemia. 
All patients developing hyperglycemia during the study will have their glucose closely 
monitored by study staff. The investigator may choose to continue close monitoring of patients 
who develop Grade 1 hyperglycemia (fasting glucose >ULN ≤160 mg/dL) or, alternatively, 
consider initiating treatment with an oral hypoglycemic agent, such as metformin. All patients 
with ≥Grade 2 hyperglycemia (fasting glucose >160 mg/dL) must be treated aggressively with 
oral hypoglycemic agents and/or insulin as clinically indicated. The investigator should consult 
an endocrinologist, if needed, to aid in optimizing the patient’s hyperglycemia treatment plan.
It is recommended that patients be initially treated with a fast acting insulin sensitizer such as 
metformin at 500 mg orally QD, and titrate up to a maximum of 1000 mg orally BID as needed. 
Concurrent addition to metformin of DPP-4 inhibitors (eg, sitagliptin or vildagliptin) and/or 
insulin should also be considered. Oral sulfonylureas (eg, glipizide or glyburide) should be used 
with caution, due to the higher risk of inducing hypoglycemia in patients. The dose of oral 
hypoglycemic agents should be adjusted in patients with renal insufficiency. In addition, patients 
should be encouraged to follow a low carbohydrate diet once hyperglycemia is first observed.
If any fasting serum glucose reading performed at the site indicates hyperglycemia (>ULN or 
≥110 mg/dL), the study staff should first confirm that the patient was fasting at the time of blood 
specimen collection (ie, nothing by mouth for at least 8 hours before collection).
In-Home Daily Fasting Glucose Monitoring

Version Date 10/12/2018
36
In addition to obtaining fasting glucose levels at the clinic visits as outlined in the Schedule of 
Events, all patients randomized to receive TAK-228 will be given a glucometer to monitor their 
daily FBG levels at home. The level should be collected daily, predose on dosing days, and at 
approximately the same time each day.
On Cycle 1 Day 1, the patient will be provided an in-home glucometer. Patients will be trained 
on proper use of the glucometer and instructed to collect a daily fasting blood glucose level every 
morning (predose on dosing days), starting on Cycle 1 Day 2. Patients will be instructed to bring 
the glucometer with them to each study visit so that the data collected can be reviewed and 
recorded in the source documents. Investigators will be responsible for reviewing the home 
glucose monitoring logs for hyperglycemia. 
The patient will be instructed to contact the site immediately if the value is abnormal (ie, ≥150 
mg/dL) for further instructions on the management of their hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia 
observed during home glucose monitoring should be confirmed in the clinic.
If no irregularities in the fasting blood glucose level are observed during a minimum of 2 
consecutive months, then the frequency of in-home fasting blood glucose testing can be reduced 
to a minimum frequency of once weekly, depending on the investigator’s judgment and 
approval. Patients will continue to notify the investigator of fasting blood glucose levels that 
exceed 150 mg/dL and, if blood glucose levels are not well controlled, or if the patient requires 
either oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin to control blood glucose levels, then the frequency of 
in-home testing of FBG levels will be reinstated to daily.
Guidance on study drug dose modification for patients with hyperglycemia is provided in the 
following table:

transient adverse event not related to TAK-228 if clinically indicated e.g. food allergy. 

Anti-epileptic drugs for subjects with treated brain metastasis

Concomitant administration of any PPI is not permitted during the study. Patients receiving 
PPI therapy before enrollment must stop using the PPI for 7 days before their first dose of 
study drugs. Examples of PPIs include omeprazole, esomeprazole, pantoprazole, 
lansoprazole, and rabeprazole. 

 
11.4. Permitted Concomitant Medications and Procedures
Prophylactic use of anti-emetic, antinausea, and antidiarrheal medications is encouraged, and 
these may be administered before the first dose and subsequent doses of study drug, as needed 
throughout the study, and as clinically indicated per standard practice. When selecting an anti-
emetic agent, drugs that do not have an effect on the QT interval, such as palonosetron, are 
preferred.
Histamine H2 receptor antagonists may be allowed, if needed provided that the histamine H2 
receptor antagonist is not taken within 12 hours before and within 6 hours after study drug 
administration. Patients receiving histamine H2 receptor antagonists before enrollment must stop 
using these medications for at least 24 hours before their first dose of study drug. Examples of 
histamine H2 receptor antagonists include ranitidine, famotidine, and nizatidine. Cimetidine, a 
moderate cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A2 inhibitor, is not recommended as first choice H2 receptor 
antagonist.
Strong CYP1A2 inhibitors and CYP inducers should be administered with caution, at the 
discretion of the investigator (see Appendix B). Alternative treatments, if available, should be 
considered.

Other medications considered necessary for the safety and wellbeing of the patient may be 
administered at the discretion of the investigator.
11.5. Precautions and Restrictions 
The use of live vaccines and close contact with those who have received live vaccines should be 
avoided during treatment with study drug. Examples of live vaccines are: intranasal influenza, 
measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio, Bacille Calmette-Guerin, yellow fever, varicella, and TY21a 
typhoid vaccines.
No dietary restrictions will be imposed on study patients other than daily fasting for glucose 
monitoring.
Patients who show evidence of hyperglycemia during the study will be encouraged to follow a 
low carbohydrate diet.
Subjects should be encouraged to drink at least 20 ounces of fluids a day, especially on days 
requiring fasting (per protocol), with administration of IV fluids in the clinic as indicated to 
avoid dehydration. 
11.6. Description of Investigational Agents
TAK-228 will be supplied as capsules for oral administration. The study drug is available
in 2 dose strengths, 1 mg and 3 mg, each containing 1 mg and 3 mg of
TAK-228, respectively, in addition to the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline
cellulose (solid filler/diluents), magnesium stearate (lubricant), and hard gelatin capsule. The two 
dose strengths are formulated into size 2 capsules, and each dose strength is differentiated by 
color, as listed below:

TAK-228 capsules, 1 mg - white opaque color

TAK-228 capsules, 3 mg – orange opaque color
11.7. Preparation, Reconstitution, and Dispensation
TAK-228 study drug will be provided in labeled bottles in accordance with all applicable 
regulations. Materials provided by the sponsor should be dispensed to patients
with clear administration instructions from the investigator.
TAK-228 is an anticancer drug and, as with other potentially toxic compounds, caution should be 
exercised when handling TAK-228 capsules.
11.8. Packaging and Labeling
TAK-228 will be provided by Millennium and will be handled at the investigative site as open-
label material. Sites must store according to the labeled conditions. 


16-1047

Version Date 10/12/2018
46
TAK-228 will be provided in 30-ct, 60-cc high density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles with 
polypropylene, child-resistant caps and induction seal.
11.9. Storage, Handling, and Accountability
Upon receipt at the investigative site, drug should be stored in the original bottles until use and 
stored at room temperature from 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F). All temperature excursions will 
be reported  for assessment and authorization for continued use. All investigational supplies must 
be stored in a secure area with controlled access and will be stored in original packaging. All 
drug supplies must be used before the retest expiry date. 
Because TAK-228 is an investigational agents, it should be handled with due care. In case of 
contact with broken capsules, raising dust should be avoided during the clean-up operation. The 
product may be harmful if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. Gloves and protective 
clothing should be worn during the clean-up operation. The area should be ventilated and the 
spill site washed after material pick-up is complete. The spilled material should be disposed of as 
hazardous medical waste in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. In case of 
contact with the powder (eg, from a broken capsule), the skin should be washed immediately 
with soap and copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. In case of contact with the eyes, 
copious amounts of water should be used to flush the eyes for at least 15 minutes. Medical 
personnel should be notified.
Patients will receive instructions for home storage and administration of TAK-228.
Accountability for TAK-228 at all study sites is the responsibility of the sponsor-investigator. 
11.10.Study Compliance
Study drug will be administered or dispensed only to eligible patients under the supervision of 
the investigator or identified sub-investigator(s).  The appropriate study personnel will maintain 
records of study drug receipt and dispensing. 
12.0Correlative/Special Studies
Biomarker assessments will be conducted in collaboration with Lori Rink, Ph.D. and Jianming 
Pei, Ph.D. Patients must consent to providing tumor tissue prior to initiation of therapy if 
sufficient archival tissue is not available. If a biopsy is required, the treating physician should 
ensure that this can be done safely. At least 3-4, 16-18 gauge core (5 mm X 5mm) will be 
required. If additional cores can be obtained safely, these will also be used in the analysis.See 
Section 9.2.2.6 for details on amounts of tissue required.  
In order to assess PTEN status, tissue obtained from biopsy will be paraffin embedded. 
Expression of PTEN will be examined by IHC In the event that a patient has had tumor analyzed 
for PTEN status through commercial means, their eligibility and need for additional tissue will 
be determined on a case by case basis by the sponsor investigator. 
PTEN genomic loss at baseline will be assessed using SNP-based CMA with the Affymetrix 
GeneChip system. Chromosome Microarray Analysis (CMA) using Affymetrix OncoScan assay 
The OncoScan assay utilizes the Molecular Inversion Probe (MIP) technology to identify

genomic copy number (CN), loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at whole genome coverage (about 
220,000 SNPs) with increased resolution in approximately 900 cancer genes while also currently 
detecting 74 clinically actionable somatic mutations commonly found in nine cancer genes 
including PIK3CA (p.E542Kc.1624G>A, p.E545Kc.1633G>A , p.Q546Kc.1636C>A, 
p.H1047Lc.3140A>T and p.H1047Rc.3140A>G)  and PTEN (p.R130*c.388C>T, 
p.R130Gc.388C>G, p.R130fs*4c.389delG,  p.R130Qc.389G>A, p.R159Sc.477G>T, 
p.R233*c.697C>T , p.P248fs*5c.741_742insA , p.K267fs*9c.800delA). The assay requires ≤ 80 
ng of input genomic DNA and can utilize extremely degraded DNA. The OncoScan® assay has 
been adopted in a number of research and translational laboratories and its utility across a range 
of tumor types reported.
Recommended OncoScan assay protocol (www.affymetrix.com) is followed. In short, the copy 
number and somatic mutation MIP probes were added to the sample DNA and allowed to anneal 
at 58°C overnight (16-18h) after an initial denaturation at 95°C for 5 min. Each sample is then 
split into two wells and gap fill reaction is performed by adding dATP (A) and dTTP (T) (A/T) 
in one well and dGTP (G) and dCTP (C) (G/C) to the other well. Uncircularised MIP probes and 
genomic DNA are digested by using a cocktail of exonucleases,  leaving only MIP probes that 
have been gap filled by the A/T or G/C nucleotides. The circular MIP probes are then linearized 
using a cleavage enzyme and amplified by PCR. Following a second round of PCR amplification 
the 120bp amplicons were cleaved into two fragments with the Haeiii enzyme, of which the 
smaller (44bp) fragment is to be hybridized onto the OncoScan arrays. Samples are then mixed 
with hybridization buffer and injected into the OncoScan arrays where they are allowed to 
hybridize for 16-18 h. At the end of the hybridization period, arrays are stained and washed using 
the GeneChip Fluidics Station 450 and loaded into the GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G (Affymetrix) 
where array fluorescence intensities are scanned to generate array images (DAT file). Array 
fluorescence intensity (CEL) files are automatically generated from DAT files by the ffymetrix 
GeneChip Command Console (AGCC) Software. The copy number, LOH and somatic mutation 
are analyzed using Affymetrix Chromosome Analysis Console (ChAS) from the generated CEL 
files. 
13.0
STATISTICAL AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSES
13.1. Determination of Sample Size
The primary objective of this single-arm study is to investigate the Progression Free Rate 
(CR+PR+SD) at 12 weeks.  This trial uses a Simon 2-stage design to test the alternative 
hypothesis that the Progression Free Rate (PFR) ≥ 0.40 versus the null hypothesis that PFR ≤ 
0.20.    
The sample size was determined using a Simon 2-stage design (minimax). This study will enroll 
14 patients in the first phase.  If ≤ 2 patients are progression free at 12 weeks, the trial will be 
terminated for futility. If  > 2 patients are progression free at 12 weeks, the study will continue to 
the second phase, enrolling an additional 10 patients, for a total sample size of 24 patients. If > 7 
patients are progression free at 12 weeks, the treatment will be considered effective.  This design 
has 80% power with 9% type-I error.  If the null hypothesis is true, there is a 64.5% probability 
of early termination, and an expected sample size of 19.5.  Note that after the 14 first-stage 


16-1047

Version Date 10/12/2018
48
patients have been treated, second-stage patients may be enrolled while the remaining first stage-
patients are followed for 12 week progression status.  Enrollment of second-stage patients will 
stop if it becomes impossible to satisfy the futility rule of at least 3 patients being progression 
free at 12 weeks (e.g. if 1 patient still <12 weeks from treatment, but only 3 successes have been 
observed).
13.2. Populations for Analysis
All patients receiving at least 1 dose of the study drug will be evaluated for safety. Eligible 
patients who complete first radiologic assessment (week 6) will be considered evaluable for 
response.  These patients will have their response classified according to the definitions stated 
below (Section 15.4).  (Note:  Patients who discontinue study therapy for reasons other than 
consent withdrawal prior to the first radiologic assessment e.g. clinical or radiologic progression, 
toxicity or death will be counted as failures (progressed disease). For the primary outcome of 
PRF at 12 weeks, patients without a 12-week assessment will be considered as progressed.)  
13.3. Analysis of ORR, PFS, OS
The Objective Response Rate (ORR) defined as CR+PR will be calculated for the patient 
sample.  Progression Free Survival (PFS), defined as the time from initiation of treatment until 
disease progression, and Overall Survival (OS), defined as the time from initiation of treatment 
until death from any cause will be calculated.  Survival curves will be generated using the 
methods of Kaplan and Meier, and the median survival times and corresponding 95% confidence 
intervals will be calculated.
13.4. Demographic and Baseline Characteristics
Patient characteristics including age, race, gender, sarcoma site, prior treatments, histology, and 
metastatic disease will be tabulated. 
13.5. Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics/Biomarkers 
PTEN protein loss and genomic loss will be assessed in patients.   Results of IHC and CMA will 
be dichotomized as loss vs normal.  The proportion of concordant samples will be calculated, as 
will the proportions exhibiting IHC loss/CMA normal, and CMA loss/IHC normal.  Note that 
either IHC loss or CMA loss or PTEN/PIK3CA mutation is required for inclusion in this study. 
13.6. Safety Analysis
All adverse events will be tabulated and summarized by grade and type using standard statistics.
The study will halt for excess toxicity if the rate of grade 4 toxicities (despite maximum supportive 
care) is greater than or equal to 25%.  The study will be terminated early if ever 4 of the initial 14 
patients have grade 4 or higher toxicity despite maximum supportive care. Similarly, if at any point 6 
patients have grade 4 or higher toxicity the study will also be terminated and declared too toxic. 
Properties of the stopping rule and final decision rule are tabulated below.

14.0ADVERSE EVENTS  
14.1. Definitions
14.1.1. Adverse Events (AE) 
AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom 
or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, treatment 
or procedure regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure 
(NCI CTEP Guidelines March 28, 2011).
14.1.2.  Serious Adverse Event (SAE) 
SAE is an AE that is fatal or life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of 
existing hospitalization (for > 24 hours), persistent or significant incapacity or substantial 
disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, or is a congenital anomaly/ birth defect. 
An important medical event that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered an SAE when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, may 
jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the 
above outcomes.  A “life-threatening” adverse event places the patient at immediate risk of death 
in the judgment of the investigator or sponsor.
14.1.3.  Severity Rating 
The investigator will evaluate the severity of each adverse event.  NCI Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v.4.0) or study specific toxicity tables provided in the 
protocol define severity.  If not included in CTCAE v.4.0, severity is expressed in numerical 
grade using the following definitions:
1. Grade 1: Mild-asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; 
intervention not indicated.
2. Grade 2: Moderate-minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age 
appropriate instrumental ADL.
3. Grade 3: Severe-severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; 
hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care 
ADL.
4. Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. 
5. Grade 5: Death related to AE

14.1.4.  Attribution/Relationship to study drug 
1. Definite – clearly related
2. Probable – likely related
3. Possible – may be related
4. Unlikely – doubtfully related
5. Unrelated – clearly not related
14.1.5.  Expectedness
An Expected Adverse Event is one where the specificity or severity is consistent with the current 
information available from the resources.
An Unexpected Adverse Event is one where the nature, severity, or frequency of the event is 
related to participation in the research is not consistent with either:
1. The known or foreseeable risk of adverse events associated with the procedures 
involved in the research that are described in (a) the protocol-related documents, 
such as the IRB-approved research protocol, any applicable investigator brochure, 
and the current IRB-approved informed consent document, and (b) other relevant 
sources of information, such as product labeling and package inserts: or
2. The expected natural progression of any underlying disease, disorder, or condition 
of the subject(s) experiencing the adverse event and the subject(s) predisposing risk 
factor profile for the adverse event.
(OHRP Guidance on reviewing unanticipated problems 2007).
14.2. Recording and Reporting Responsibilities
14.2.1.  Investigative site recording responsibilities
1. Upon identification of an AE or SAE, the site investigator will utilize the 
above definitions to properly classify the event.  Each category listed above 
must be recorded for each event.
2. All AEs and SAEs will be recorded in the “AE case report forms” (CRF) and 
in progress reports with details about the grade and attribution of each episode, 
action taken with respect to the study drug, and the patient’s outcome will be 
recorded in the CRF.  All events will be recorded on case report forms for the 
duration of the study until they resolve.
3. All SAEs will be recorded on the FDA MedWatch form 3500a.  After 
submitting the initial report it may be necessary to submit follow up reports to 
the OCR, Sponsor and the FDA should the event require further investigation.
14.2.2.  Investigative site reporting responsibilities:


16-1047
Copyright© 2015 Fox Chase Cancer Center® Clinical Trials Operations.  All rights reserved.
Version Date 10/12/2018
51
1. The investigator/ site is responsible to report all SAEs that occur on or after the 
first day of study treatment to the IST Regulatory Specialist within 24 hours of 
becoming aware of the event.  All subsequent SAEs must be reported for up to 
30 days after the last treatment.
Each investigator is responsible to report all AEs/SAEs to their local IRB 
following guidelines set by that IRB.  The FCCC OCR reserves the right to 
request an event be reported to the IRB at their discretion.  Copies of events 
reviewed by the IRB must be sent email to the IST Regulatory Specialist at 
SAE.FCCC@fccc.edu. 
2. If the investigator or IRB feels the event warrants a revision to the informed 
consent that was not already initiated by the OCR, draft revisions will be made 
in track changes and submitted to the OCR for consideration.  Any consent 
revisions must receive OCR approval prior to submission to the IRB.
3. Any investigator who is in doubt of whether a particular AE needs to be 
reported is directed to call the Study Monitor for confirmation with the 
Sponsor Investigator
4. If the results of an investigator or OCR investigation show an adverse event not 
initially determined to be reportable is so reportable, the investigator will 
report the event following the above guidelines based on the date the 
determination is made.
5. Copies of all related correspondence and reporting documents must be 
submitted to the IST Regulatory Specialist and will be maintained in the trial 
master file. 
Participating sites should report events to:
IST Regulatory Specialist

Office of Clinical Research
333 Cottman Avenue
Philadelphia, PA 19111
Phone 215-214-1439
SAE.FCCC@fccc.edu
14.2.3.  OCR Reporting Responsibilities:
1. Adverse events which meet all of the following criteria must be reported to 
all participating institutions for IRB submission within 2 weeks of 
notification of the event.  
i. Unexpected (in terms of nature, severity, or frequency) given (a) the 
research procedures that are described in the protocol-related documents, 
such as the IRB-approved research protocol and informed consent

document; and (b) the characteristics of the subject population being 
studied;
ii. Possibly related to participation in the research (possibly related means 
there is a reasonable possibility that the incident, experience, or outcome 
may have been caused by the procedures involved in the research); and
iii.Serious (refer to above definition) or otherwise one that suggests that the 
research places subjects or others at a greater risk of physical or 
psychological harm than was previously known or recognized.
2. If the adverse event requires modification of the study protocol and informed 
consent, these changes will be provided to all participating institutions in the 
form of an amendment from the OCR for each site’s IRB of record along with 
the report of the adverse event.  
3. Copies of all related correspondence and reporting documents will be 
maintained in a centralized regulatory file for this study at OCR.
4. SAEs that are related, unexpected, fatal, or life-threatening  are reportable 
through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) MedWatch program by 
telephone or fax no later than 7 calendar days after initial receipt of the 
information.  Further information on the timing of submissions are as directed 
by FDA guidelines  (http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/index.html).  Serious, 
unexpected events that suggest significant clinical risk will be submitted to 
within 15 calendar days after initial receipt of this information.
Food and Drug Administration:
Telephone 1-800-FDA-1088
Fax 1-800-FDA-0178
http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm
The OCR will ensure that the SAE reports are sent to Millennium Pharmacovigilance (or 
designee) from all sites participating in the study from the time of consent up to and including 30 
days after administration of the last dost of TAK-228. Any SAE that occurs at any time after 
completion of TAK-228 treatment or after the designated follow-up period that the sponsor-
investigator and/or sub-investigator considers to be related to any study drug must be reported to 
Millennium Pharmacovigilance (or designee).  Planned hospital admissions or surgical 
procedures for an illness or disease that existed before the patient was enrolled in the trial are not 
to be considered AEs unless the condition deteriorated in an unexpected manner during the trial 
(e.g., surgery was performed earlier or later than planned).  All SAEs should be monitored until 
they are resolved or are clearly determined to be due to a patient’s stable or chronic condition or 
intercurrent illness(es).Relationship to all study drugs for each SAE will be determined by the 
investigator or sub-investigator by responding yes or no to the question: Is there a reasonable 
possibility that the AE is associated with the study drug(s)?

Version Date 10/12/2018
53
If a woman becomes pregnant or suspects that she is pregnant while participating in this study, 
she must inform the investigator immediately and permanently discontinue study drug.  The 
sponsor-investigator must fax a completed Pregnancy Form to the Millennium 
Pharmacovigilance or designee immediately.  The pregnancy must be followed for the final 
pregnancy outcome (i.e., delivery, still birth, miscarriage) and Millennium Pharmacovigilance or 
designee will request this information from the sponsor-investigator.
If a female partner of a male patient becomes pregnant during the male patient’s participation in 
this study, the sponsor-investigator must also immediately fax a completed Pregnancy Form to 
the Millennium Pharmacovigilance or designee. Every effort should be made to follow the 
pregnancy for the final pregnancy outcome.
14.4. Product Complaints  
A product complaint is a verbal, written, or electronic expression that implies dissatisfaction 
regarding the identity, strength, purity, quality, or stability of a drug product.  Individuals who 
identify a potential product complaint situation should immediately contact Millennium (see 
below) and report the event.  Whenever possible, the associated product should be maintained in 
accordance with the label instructions pending further guidance from a Millennium Quality 
representative.
A medication error is a preventable event that involves an identifiable patient and that leads to 
inappropriate medication use, which may result in patient harm. While overdoses and underdoses 
constitute medication errors, doses missed inadvertently by a patient do not. Individuals who 
identify a potential medication error situation should immediately contact Takeda (see below) 
and report the event.
For Product Complaints, call 
1-844-ONC-TKDA (1-844-662-8532)
E-mail: GlobalOncologyMedinfo@takeda.com
Fax: 1-800-881-6092, Hours Mon-Fri, 9am-7pm ET 
(US and International)
Product complaints in and of themselves are not AEs.  If a product complaint results in an SAE, 
an SAE form should be completed and sent to Millennium Pharmacovigilance. 
15.0 MEASURES OF EFFECT
Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 
The Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) criteria will be used for objective 
tumor response assessment.  Assessments will be performed every 6 weeks. Once protocol 
treatment has been completed subjects will be assessed every three months or sooner as indicated 
and judged by treating physicians.
15.1.  Definitions


16-1047

Version Date 10/12/2018
54
Evaluable for adverse events.  All patients will be evaluable for adverse events from the time of 
their first treatment with TAK-228.
Evaluable for objective response.  Eligible patients who complete first radiologic assessment 
(week 6) will be considered evaluable for response. (Note:  Patients who discontinue study 
therapy for reasons other than consent withdrawal prior to the first radiologic assessment e.g. 
clinical or radiologic progression, toxicity or death will be counted as failures.  
Evaluable Non-Target Disease Response.  Patients who have lesions present at baseline that are 
evaluable but do not meet the definitions of measurable disease, have received at least one cycle 
of therapy, and have had their disease re-evaluated will be considered evaluable for non-target 
disease.  The response assessment is based on the presence, absence, or unequivocal progression 
of the lesions. 
15.2. Disease Parameters
Measurable disease.  Measurable lesions are defined as those that can be accurately measured in 
at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as >20 mm by chest x-ray, as >10 mm 
with CT or MRI scan, or >10 mm with calipers by clinical exam.  All tumor measurements must 
be recorded in millimeters (or decimal fractions of centimeters). Tumor lesions in a previously 
irradiated are are considered measurable if they are progressing. 
Malignant lymph nodes.  To be considered pathologically enlarged and measurable, a lymph 
node must be >15 mm in short axis when assessed by CT or MRI scan (CT scan slice thickness 
recommended to be no greater than 5 mm).  At baseline and in follow-up, only the short axis will 
be measured and followed.
Non-measurable disease.  All other lesions (or sites of disease), including small lesions (longest 
diameter <10 mm or pathological lymph nodes with ≥ 10 to <15 mm short axis), are considered 
non-measurable disease.  Bone lesions, leptomeningeal disease, ascites, pleural/pericardial 
effusions, lymphangitis cutis/pulmonitis, inflammatory breast disease, and abdominal masses 
(not followed by CT or MRI), are considered as non-measurable.
Note:  Cystic lesions that meet the criteria for radiographically defined simple cysts should not 
be considered as malignant lesions (neither measurable nor non-measurable) since they are, by 
definition, simple cysts.
‘Cystic lesions’ thought to represent cystic metastases can be considered as measurable lesions, 
if they meet the definition of measurability described above. However, if non-cystic lesions are 
present in the same patient, these are preferred for selection as target lesions.
Target lesions.  All measurable lesions up to a maximum of 2 lesions per organ and 5 lesions in 
total, representative of all involved organs, should be identified as target lesions and recorded 
and measured at baseline.  Target lesions should be selected on the basis of their size (lesions 
with the longest diameter), be representative of all involved organs, but in addition should be 
those that lend themselves to reproducible repeated measurements.  It may be the case that, on 


16-1047

Version Date 10/12/2018
55
occasion, the largest lesion does not lend itself to reproducible measurement in which 
circumstance the next largest lesion which can be measured reproducibly should be selected.  A 
sum of the diameters (longest for non-nodal lesions, short axis for nodal lesions) for all target 
lesions will be calculated and reported as the baseline sum diameters.  If lymph nodes are to be 
included in the sum, then only the short axis is added into the sum.  The baseline sum diameters 
will be used as reference to further characterize any objective tumor regression in the measurable 
dimension of the disease.
Non-target lesions.  All other lesions (or sites of disease) including any measurable lesions over 
and above the 5 target lesions should be identified as non-target lesions and should also be 
recorded at baseline.  Measurements of these lesions are not required, but the presence, absence, 
or in rare cases unequivocal progression of each should be noted throughout follow-up. 
15.3. Methods for Evaluation of Measurable Disease
All measurements should be taken and recorded in metric notation using a ruler or calipers.  All 
baseline evaluations should be performed as closely as possible to the beginning of treatment and 
never more than 28 days before the beginning of the treatment.
The same method of assessment and the same technique should be used to characterize each 
identified and reported lesion at baseline and during follow-up. Imaging-based evaluation is 
preferred to evaluation by clinical examination unless the lesion(s) being followed cannot be 
imaged but are assessable by clinical exam.
Clinical lesions  Clinical lesions will only be considered measurable when they are superficial 
(e.g., skin nodules and palpable lymph nodes) and 10 mm diameter as assessed using calipers 
(e.g., skin nodules).  In the case of skin lesions, documentation by color photography, including a 
ruler to estimate the size of the lesion, is recommended. 
CT and MRI  This guideline has defined measurability of lesions on CT scan based on the 
assumption that CT slice thickness is 5 mm or less.  If CT scans have slice thickness greater than 
5 mm, the minimum size for a measurable lesion should be twice the slice thickness.  MRI is also 
acceptable in certain situations (e.g. for body scans).  
MRI has excellent contrast, spatial, and temporal resolution; however, there are many image 
acquisition variables involved in MRI, which greatly impact image quality, lesion conspicuity, 
and measurement.  Furthermore, the availability of MRI is variable globally.  As with CT, if an 
MRI is performed, the technical specifications of the scanning sequences used should be 
optimized for the evaluation of the type and site of disease.  Furthermore, as with CT, the 
modality used at follow-up should be the same as was used at baseline and the lesions should be 
measured/assessed on the same pulse sequence.  It is beyond the scope of the RECIST guidelines 
to prescribe specific MRI pulse sequence parameters for all scanners, body parts, and diseases.  
Ideally, the same type of scanner should be used and the image acquisition protocol should be 
followed as closely as possible to prior scans.  Body scans should be performed with breath-hold 
scanning techniques, if possible.

PET-CT  At present, the low dose or attenuation correction CT portion of a combined PET-CT is 
not always of optimal diagnostic CT quality for use with RECIST measurements.  However, if 
the  CT is performed as part of a PET-CT is of identical diagnostic quality to a diagnostic CT 
(with IV and oral contrast), then the CT portion of the PET-CT can be used for RECIST 
measurements and can be used interchangeably with conventional CT in accurately measuring 
cancer lesions over time.  Note, however, that the PET portion of the CT introduces additional 
data which may bias an investigator if it is not routinely or serially performed.  
Ultrasound  Ultrasound is not useful in assessment of lesion size and should not be used as a 
method of measurement.  If new lesions are identified by ultrasound in the course of the study, 
confirmation by CT or MRI is advised.  If there is concern about radiation exposure at CT, MRI 
may be used instead of CT in selected instances.
Endoscopy, Laparoscopy  The utilization of these techniques for objective tumor evaluation is 
not permitted.  
Cytology, Histology   The cytological confirmation of the neoplastic origin of any effusion that 
appears or worsens during treatment when the measurable tumor has met criteria for response or 
stable disease is mandatory to differentiate between response or stable disease (an effusion may 
be a side effect of the treatment) and progressive disease. Positive cytology may be useful to 
document clinical progression when other modalities are not feasible.
FDG-PET  While FDG-PET response assessments need additional study, it is sometimes 
reasonable to incorporate the use of FDG-PET scanning to complement CT scanning in 
assessment of progression (particularly possible 'new' disease).  New lesions on the basis of 
FDG-PET imaging can be identified according to the following algorithm: 
a.
Negative FDG-PET at baseline, with a positive FDG-PET at follow-up is a sign of PD based 
on a new lesion.
b. No FDG-PET at baseline and a positive FDG-PET at follow-up:  If the positive FDG-PET at 
follow-up corresponds to a new site of disease confirmed by CT, this is PD.  If the positive 
FDG-PET at follow-up is not confirmed as a new site of disease on CT, additional follow-up 
CT  scans are needed to determine if there is truly progression occurring at that site (if so, the 
date of PD will be the date of the initial abnormal FDG-PET scan).  If the positive FDG-PET 
at follow-up corresponds to a pre-existing site of disease on CT that is not progressing on the 
basis of the anatomic images, this is not PD.
 Note:  A ‘positive’ FDG-PET scan lesion means one which is FDG avid with an uptake greater 
than twice that of the surrounding tissue on the attenuation corrected image.
15.4. Response Criteria
Evaluation of Target Lesions
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions.  Any pathological lymph nodes 
(whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.


16-1047
Copyright© 2015 Fox Chase Cancer Center® Clinical Trials Operations.  All rights reserved.
Version Date 10/12/2018
57
Partial Response (PR):
At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, 
taking as reference the baseline sum diameters
Progressive Disease (PD):At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, 
taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the 
smallest on study).  In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an 
absolute increase of at least 5 mm.  (Note:  the appearance of one or more new lesions is also 
considered progressions).
Stable Disease (SD):Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to 
qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study
Evaluation of Non-Target Lesions
Complete Response (CR):Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor 
marker level.  All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (<10 mm short axis)
Note:  If tumor markers are initially above the upper normal limit, they must normalize for a 
patient to be considered in complete clinical response.
Non-CR/Non-PD:
Persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s) and/or maintenance of 
tumor marker level above the normal limits
Progressive Disease (PD):Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal 
progression of existing non-target lesions.  Unequivocal progression should not normally trump 
target lesion status.  It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion 
increase.    
Although a clear progression of “non-target” lesions only is exceptional, the opinion of the 
treating physician should prevail in such circumstances, and the progression status should be 
confirmed at a later time by the review panel (or Principal Investigator).
16.0Data and Safety Monitoring Plan 
16.1.  Monitoring Plan 
FCCC OCR will monitor the medical and study records of each participant accrued throughout 
the course of the study.  In addition, the OCR will collect and report data to the Sponsor 
Investigator who will review these data on a regular basis at a rate dependent on subject accrual.  
All serious adverse events (SAEs) will be reviewed on a real time basis first by the study site PI 
and subsequently by the OCR and Sponsor Investigator  as applicable.

INFORMED CONSENT DOCUMENT
Phase II study of TAK-228 (MLN0128) in soft tissue sarcomas with dysregulation of the 
mTOR pathway 
Supported by: Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Principal Investigator:  Margaret von Mehren, MD
Research studies are voluntary and include only people who choose to take part.  Please read 
this consent form carefully and take your time making your decision.  As your study doctor or 
study staff discuss this consent form with you, please ask him/her to explain any words or 
information that you do not clearly understand.  We encourage you to talk with your family, 
friends or family doctor before you decide to take part in this research study.
You are being asked to take part in this research study because you have soft tissue sarcoma, 
a type of cancer which starts in soft tissues of the body.
The sponsor of this study is Fox Chase Cancer Center.
Why is this research study being done?
The purpose of this research study is to test if TAK-228 is safe and effective in treating patients 
with soft tissue sarcoma. 
The study drug, TAK-228 has not been FDA approved but it has been shown to prevent tumor 
growth in animals and is currently being tested in humans.
We do not know if you will benefit from this research study.  It is possible that your condition will 
get better, but it is also possible that there will be no effect on your condition or that your 
condition will get worse.  We can use what we learn from this research study to help other 
people with the same disease.  
How many people will take part in this research study?
Up to 24 people will take part in this research study.
What will happen if you take part in this research study?
Screening before you begin the research study
You will need to have the following exams, tests or procedures to find out if you can be in the 
research study.  These exams, tests or procedures are part of regular cancer care and may be

done even if you do not join the research study.  If you have had some of them recently, they 
may not need to be repeated.  This will be up to your study doctor.

We will ask you about your medical history and medicine you are taking

We will do a physical exam which will include height, weight and vital signs 

We will ask about your ability to do your daily activities

Routine blood tests (1 tablespoon)

Routine urine test

Blood pregnancy test (2 teaspoon), if you are a female and able to become pregnant.

We will evaluate your cancer by doing a CT scan or MRI
o A CT scan is a computerized x-ray that gives your study doctor pictures of the 
inside of your body.
o MRI is a test that uses magnetic field and radio waves to take pictures of the 
inside of your body.

We will check your heart by performing an EKG.
o EKG is a test to measure the electrical activity of your heart

Perform a biopsy to obtain a tumor tissue sample (this will not be required if you have a 
sample from a previous biopsy).
During the research study
If the exams, tests and procedures show that you can be in the research study, and you choose 
to take part, then you will take study treatment and you will need some tests and procedures.  
You will receive the study drug every day of a 21 day cycle until your disease gets worse.
Note: you will need to take the study drug once daily at approximately the same time 
each day. You should refrain from eating and drinking (except for water and other 
prescribed medications that your doctor may have indicated) for 2 hours before and 1 
hour after each dose.
You should avoid contact with the powder in TAK-228 capsules. Do not crush or chew the 
TAK-228 capsules. Should TAK-228 powder release from a capsule, avoid contact with 
your skin, ears, nose, and mouth. The area should be thoroughly washed with water if 
such contact occurs.
People taking the study drug are asked to drink plenty of liquids to maintain normal 
hydration. You should tell your doctor if you are having trouble eating or drinking normally 
or if you have diarrhea or stomach upset.
We will ask you about the medicine you are taking
We will do a physical exam which will include weight and vital signs
We will ask about your ability to do your daily activities
Routine Blood tests (1 tablespoon).
Routine urine test
Blood pregnancy test (1 teaspoon), if you are a female and able to become pregnant.
Home blood glucose monitoring: You will receive a glucometer for monitoring your blood 
glucose level at home. The study staff will instruct you how to do home glucose 
monitoring. You will need to measure your pre-dose fasting blood glucose level and

record the values in your dairy. If your blood glucose level is more than or equal to 
150mg/dL, you need to notify the study staff immediately.  There is minimal risk 
associated with the blood glucose test. There is a chance of infection if you share the 
finger-stick device with someone else.
We will check your heart by performing an EKG.
We will ask you about any side effects you may be experiencing
We will evaluate your cancer by doing a CT scan or MRI
Possible use of a port
If the doctors or nurses cannot draw blood or give you medicine through your veins, you may be 
asked to have minor surgery to place an “indwelling catheter port” into a large vein in your 
chest. Medical staff will use the “port” to give you medicines and to draw blood.  You will be 
asked to sign a separate consent form for this procedure, and the “port” will not be used unless 
you agree.  If a port is necessary and you do not agree to its use, you may be unable to 
continue as part of the research study.
After you stop taking the study drug
End of Treatment Follow-Up
About 30 days after your last dose of study drug, you will need following exams.

We will ask you about the medicine you are taking

We will do a physical exam which will include weight and vital signs

We will ask about your ability to do your daily activities

Routine Blood tests (1 tablespoon).

Study Plan 
Another way to find out what will happen to you during the research study is to read the chart 
below. Start reading at the top and read down the list, following the lines and arrows. 
You decide to participate in the study and you sign informed consent
Screening show that you can take part in the study
Medicines used in this study
TAK-228- given once every day of a 21 day cycle until disease gets worse 
During treatment
 You will be monitored for any side effects you may be 
experiencing
Your disease will be monitored to determine if it is getting 
better, staying the same or getting worse.  
Follow up to monitor your overall healt
     
How long will you be in the research study?
You will be asked to take the study drugs until your disease gets worse or you experience 
intolerable side effects. After you stop taking TAK-228, the study doctor will follow up with you 
for the rest of your life to monitor your overall health.
Can you stop being in the research study?
Your participation in this research is completely voluntary. If you agree to participate now and 
change your mind later, you may withdraw at any time.   Tell the study doctor if you are thinking 
about stopping or decide to stop. He or she will tell you how to stop safely and will discuss with 
you options for withdrawl such as continuing to provide further data collection from routine 
medical care. 
It is important to tell the study doctor if you are thinking about stopping so any risks from the 
TAK-228 can be evaluated by your doctor.  Another reason to tell your doctor that you are

IRB: 16-1047
Page 5 of 10 
Protocol version date: 10.12.2018
thinking about stopping is to discuss what followup care and testing could be most helpful for 
you.
Can you be removed from this research study?
The study doctor may stop you from taking part in this research study at any time if he/she 
believes it is in your best interest; if you do not follow the research study rules; or if the research 
study is stopped.
What side effects or risks can you expect from being in the research study?
You may have side effects while on the research study.  Everyone taking part in the research 
study will be watched carefully for any side effects.  However, doctors don't know all the side 
effects that may happen.  Side effects may be mild or very serious.  Your health care team may 
give you medicines to help lessen side effects.  Many side effects go away soon after you stop 
taking Tak-228.  In some cases, side effects can be serious, long lasting, or may never go 
away. There is also a risk of death. 
Some deaths have occurred in current human studies: one patient receiving TAK-228 died 
unexpectedly due to ventricular fibrillation (an abnormal heart rhythm) and cardiac arrest (the 
heart stops working), events that were assessed as related to TAK-228.  With the limited 
experience we have with TAK-228, we have not determined whether TAK-228 is directly 
associated with these problems. Other patients receiving TAK-228 have died due to problems 
related to their cancer, which were not related to taking TAK-228. 
You should talk to your study doctor about any side effects that you have while taking part in the 
research study. 
Risks and side effects related to Tak-228 include those which are:
Most Common (more than 30%)

High blood sugar (symptoms may include increased hunger, increased thirst, dry mouth 
and increased urination)

Nausea (feeling sick to your stomach)

urinate, or a burning sensation while urinating)

Constipation (difficulty having a bowel movement)

Fever

Back pain

Trouble Breathing

Dehydration or excessive water loss

Increased creatinine (this may or may not be a sign of damage to your kidney)

Changes in the electrolytes (such as potassium, magnesium or phosphates) in the blood

Other potential risks

Decreased platelet counts. Platelets are important in stopping bleeding. A low platelet 
count can increase the time to form a blood clot.

Increase in liver function tests (this may or may not be a sign of damage to your liver; 
you may not notice any symptoms)
Inflammation (irritation) of the lungs which may cause shortness of breath and low 
oxygen levels. Your doctor will monitor you for this. 
Radiation Risk for Diagnostic Imaging

It is unlikely that there will be any harmful effects from the radiation exposure you will 
receive from participating in this study.

At high levels of exposure, scientists agree that radiation can cause cancer.

At low exposure levels most scientists agree that the risk, if any, is very low.  You will 
have low levels of radiation exposure with diagnostic imaging procedures.

Risks from exposure to radiation may accumulate over a lifetime.
Blood Draw Risks

Fainting

Bleeding

Bruising at the place on your arm where the blood was drawn or needle inserted

Pain

Swelling

Infection (rare)
Biopsy Risks (when applicable)

Bleeding

Pain

Infection, which can be life-threatening or fatal in rare cases
Reproductive Risks

Study treatments may make you sterile (unable to have children).

The drugs in this study may affect a baby, before or after the baby is born.

You should not become pregnant or father a baby while on this research study because 
the drugs you take could possibly hurt an unborn baby.

Precautions and Restrictions
The use of live vaccine and close contact with those who received live vaccines should be 
avoided during treatment with study drug. Examples of live vaccines are: intranasal influenza, 
measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio, Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, yellow fever, varicella and 
TY21a typhoid vaccines.
Are there benefits to taking part in the study?
Taking part in this study may or may not make your health better.  While doctors hope that Tak-
228 will be more useful against cancer compared to the usual treatment, there is no proof of this 
yet.  We do know that the information from this study will help doctors learn more about Tak-228 
as a treatment for cancer.  This information could help future cancer patients.
What other choices do you have if you do not take part in this research study?
Your other choices may include:

Getting treatment or care for your cancer without being in a study 

Taking part in another study 

Getting no treatment 

Getting comfort care, also called palliative care.  This type of care helps reduce pain, 
tiredness, appetite problems and other problems caused by the cancer.  It does not treat the 
cancer directly, but instead tries to improve how you feel.  Comfort care tries to keep you as 
active and comfortable as possible. 
Talk to your doctor about your choices before you decide if you will take part in this study.
Will your medical information be kept private?

A description of this clinical trial will be available on http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov, as required by 
U.S. Law. This Web site will not include information that can identify you. At most, the Web site 
will include a summary of the results. You can search this Web site at any time.
You will be given a separate form to review regarding the steps we will take to guard your 
privacy as part of your participation in the research study.  By signing that additional 
authorization, you will be providing your consent to use and disclose information described in 
that form connected with your participation in this research study.
What are the costs?
 
You and/or your health plan/insurance company will need to pay for some or all of the costs of 
treating your cancer in this study.  Some health plans will not pay these costs for people taking 
part in studies.  Check with your health plan or insurance company to find out what they will pay 
for.  Taking part in this study may or may not cost your insurance company more than the cost 
of getting regular cancer treatment.
Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will supply the TAK-228 at no charge while you take part in 
this study.  Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. does not cover the cost of getting TAK-228 ready 
and giving it to you, so you or your insurance company may have to pay for this.
Even though it probably won’t happen, it is possible that the manufacturer may not continue to 
provide the TAK-228 for some reason.  If this would occur, no one will be able to get more and 
the study would close.
If a problem with getting TAK-228 occurs, your study doctor will talk to you about these options.
If your insurance will not pay for medicines you may need to help with side effects, you may 
have to pay for them.

Institute’s Web site at http://cancer.gov/clinicaltrials/understanding/insurance-coverage .  You
