- Incidence of Adverse Events [ Time Frame: From the first administration day to the end of the observation period (ie. single-dose phase: 8 days, multiple-doses phase: 14 days) ]Source Vocabulary Name for Table Default: CTCAE (4.03)
- Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of TAS-205 [ Time Frame: Single-dose phase: immediately before dosing, 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48 hours post-dose, Multiple-dose phase: Days 1 and 7, immediately before morning dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours post-dose and Day 4, immediately before morning dose. ]Due to inspection missing, some data were not analyzed.
- Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) of TAS-205 [ Time Frame: Administration period (ie. single-dose phase: from single administration day to 48 hours after the administration, multiple-dose phase: from the first administration day to 8 hours after the last administration) ]Due to inspection missing, some data were not analyzed.
- The Urinary Excretion of PD Marker [ Time Frame: Single-dose: Day -1 before administration, 0-24 hr post-dose, and 24-48 hr post-dose, Multiple-doses: Day -1 before administration, 0 hr after administration on Day 1 and 4 to the following day (Day 2 and 5), and 0-24 hr after administration on Day 7. ]Ratio of prostaglandin E2 metabolite / creatinine Due to inspection missing, some data were not analyzed.
