var api = new Script.Util.WSProxy();

var properties = {
    CustomerKey: "S0M3-GU1D-K3Y-G03SR1G4T-H3R3"
};

var action = "ClearData",
    options = {};

var result = api.performItem("DataExtension", properties, action, options);

<script runat="server">

    Platform.Load("core", "1");

    var api = new Script.Util.WSProxy();

	try {

        var properties = {
            CustomerKey: "S0M3-GU1D-K3Y-G03SR1G4T-H3R3"
        };

        var action = "ClearData",
            options = {};

        var result = api.performItem("DataExtension", properties, action, options);

        Write(Stringify(result));
		
	} catch(error) {
        Write(Stringify(error));
    }
