About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase III Study of Regorafenib Plus Best Supportive Care Versus Placebo Plus Best Supportive Care for Subjects With Metastatic and/or Unresectable Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) Whose Disease Has Progressed Despite Prior Treatment With at Least Imatinib and Sunitinib

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III study of regorafenib plus best supportive care versus placebo plus best supportive care for subjects with metastatic and/or unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) whose disease has progressed despite prior treatment with at least imatinib and sunitinib.

The study is composed of 3 periods: A Screening Period, a Treatment Period, and a Survival Follow up Period.

Read more

Subjects randomized to be treated with regorafenib will receive 160 mg po od for 3 weeks of every 4 week (28 day) cycle (ie, 3 weeks on/1 week off). In addition subjects will receive best supportive care which excludes any disease specific anti cancer therapy such as any kinase inhibitor, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery.

Tumor assessment will be every 4 weeks for the first 3 months, every 6 weeks for the next 3 months (through month 6), and every 8 weeks until the end of treatment, or more frequently if clinically indicated. Tumor assessments include CT or MRI and will be performed until tumor progression is seen in a central radiology review.

Subjects receiving placebo who experience disease progression may be offered active treatment.

Subjects who experience progression during regorafenib treatment may continue open label treatment.

All subjects will enter the Survival Follow-up Period upon discontinuation of randomized study treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free Survival (PFS) was defined as the time from date of randomization to radiological disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS was based on central radiological assessment using modified RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) v.1.1. Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum on study; or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions; or appearance of new lesions. Subjects without progression or death at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of tumor evaluation. Results are based on central evaluation.

    Measured: From randomization of the first subject until approximately 144 progression-free survival events had occurred (study duration approximately one year)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall Survival (OS) was defined as the time from date of randomization to death due to any cause. Subjects still alive at the time of analysis were censored at their date of last contact. Median OS was not observed at the time of PFS analysis and first analysis of OS, therefore only the proportion of death events was reported in the results posting system. This approach was maintained for the subsequent updates in the results posting system.

    Measured: From randomization of the first subject until date of database cutoff (08 Jun 2015)

  2. Time to Progression (TTP)

    Time to progression (TTP) was defined as the time from date of randomization to disease progression (based on central radiological assessment using modified RECIST [Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors] v.1.1). Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum on study; or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions; or appearance of new lesions. Subjects without progression at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of tumor evaluation. Results are based on central evaluation.

    Measured: From randomization of the first subject until until date of database cutoff (26 Jan 2012); study duration approximately 1 year

  3. Tumor Response

    Tumor Response of a subject was defined as the best tumor response (Complete Response [CR: disappearance of all clinical and radiological evidence of tumor (both target and non-target).], Partial Response [PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum, no unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions.], Stable Disease [SD: steady state of disease. Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, no unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions.], or Progressive Disease [PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum on study or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, or appearance of new lesions.]) observed during the trial period and assessed according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. Results are based on central evaluation.

    Measured: From randomization of the first subject until date of database cutoff (26 Jan 2012); study duration approximately 1 year

  4. Objective Response Rate

    Objective response rate was defined as the percentage of subjects whose best response was Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all clinical and radiological evidence of tumor (both target and non-target).) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum, no unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions.) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). Results are based on central evaluation.

    Measured: From randomization of the first subject until date of database cutoff (26 Jan 2012); study duration approximately 1 year.

  5. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Disease Control Rate (DCR) was defined as the percentage of subjects whose best response was Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all clinical and radiological evidence of tumor (both target and non-target).), Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum, no unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions.), or Stable Disease (SD: steady state of disease. Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, no unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions.) according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. SD had to be maintained for at least 12 weeks from the first demonstration of that rating. Results are based on central evaluation.

    Measured: From randomization of the first subject until date of database cutoff (26 Jan 2012); study duration approximately 1 year

  6. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Duration of Response was defined as the time from date of first response (Complete Response [CR: disappearance of all clinical and radiological evidence of tumor (both target and non-target).] or Partial Response [PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum, no unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions.]) to the date when Progressive Disease (PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum on study or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, or appearance of new lesions.) is first documented, or to the date of death, whichever occurs first, according to RECIST v1.1. Subjects still having CR or PR and have not died at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of tumor evaluation. Duration of response defined for responders only, i.e CR or PR. Results are based on central evaluation.

    Measured: From randomization of the first subject until date of database cutoff (26 Jan 2012); study duration approximately 1 year

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Oct 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free Survival (time frame: From randomization of the first subject until approximately 144 progression-free survival events had occurred (study duration approximately one year)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01271712, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jan 2021.
