About this study
Official title: A Phase II Exploratory Study to Identify Biomarkers Predictive of Clinical Response to Regorafenib in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Who Have Failed First-line Therapy
In recent years, anti-angiogenic agents have been incorporated into clinical practice for the treatment of metastatic CRC, leading to improvements in progression-free survival and overall survival. Regorafenib is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor that targets angiogenic and oncogenic kinases. Although structurally similar to another multi-kinase inhibitor, sorafenib, it appears to be pharmacologically more potent and possesses broader antiangiogenic properties.
Both sorafenib and regorafenib target BRAF wild-type and BRAF V600E mutant but the inhibition of p38 MAP kinase is a peculiar characteristic of regorafenib. A Phase I study of regorafenib as a single agent in patients with heavily pretreated CRC showed promising clinical activity with a disease control rate (PR + SD) of 59% in evaluable patients. In the Phase III trial (CORRECT), which was a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing either regorafenib plus best supportive care (BSC) or placebo plus BSC, it was shown that regorafenib significantly increased overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and disease control rate (DCR), independently of KRAS status. A major interest, given the data presented in the CORRECT trial, is to determine predictive biomarkers to indicate patients likely to benefit, or to be resistant to this anti-angiogenic compound.

This study aims to determine the efficacy of regorafenib as single-agent treatment for the treatment of second-line metastatic colorectal cancer and to identify predictive biomarkers in the actual metastatic tumors to be treated. In the case of metastatic CRC patients, liver lesions are frequently the most common site of metastatic deposit and these lesions can be biopsied to assess putative biomarkers. Patients will be asked to undergo a biopsy of a metastatic lesion prior to treatment, and an optional liver biopsy at the time of relapse. Using several high-throughput discovery platforms, biomarkers will be identified in the metastatic tumor specimens and in blood samples collected throughout the treatment. This will allow us to evaluate putative biomarkers and monitor tumor biomarker dynamics using serial blood collection.
The objectives of this trial are to help identify the patient subgroup most likely to be responsive or resistant to regorafenib, so that future treatment with regorafenib can be directed to the more responsive but as yet identified patient population.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
RegorafenibDrug
Also called BAY 73-4506
The dose of regorafenib given will be 160 mg once a day (od) oral (po), using a 21 days on / 7 days off treatment schedule. This equates to four (4) tablets once a day for three (3) weeks. The patient should take the dose at the same time each day, with a full glass of water, and following a light meal. A "light meal"consists of less than 30% fat and around 300-550 calories.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
A biomarker (in blood or tissue) that may be predictive of level of response to regorafenib
A biopsy from a liver metastasis will be taken at baseline for discovery of biomarkers that correlate with response to regorafenib. Genomic material (DNA and RNA) will be isolated from all biopsies. Those that pass quality control (high quality DNA, RNA and >60% tumor content) will be considered evaluable. Batched analysis will be performed at the end of the study with the evaluable samples for multiplex biomarker discovery. Patient's biomarker status at baseline will be correlated with treatment effect on PFS and response (including response rate and disease control rate) to explore which biological targets may be particularly important in defining the appropriate treatment population for regorafenib.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Regorafenib in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Gerald Batist at 5 sites in Canada.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 30 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
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?
A biomarker (in blood or tissue) that may be predictive of level of response to regorafenib (time frame: 4 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Aug 2018.
