About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Regorafenib and Sildenafil for Advanced Solid Tumors

This is a phase 1 study of sildenafil in combination with regorafenib in patients with progressive advanced solid tumors. A modified 3+3 dose escalation design will be conducted for the dose escalation of the treatment combination: additional patients will be enrolled at the MTD until a total of 12 patients have been treated at the MTD.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single-arm, open-label, phase 1 trial to determine the RP2D of the combination of regorafenib and sildenafil. Both study medications will be taken orally on days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle.

Using a modified 3+3 dose escalation design, 3-6 patients with an advanced solid tumor will be enrolled at each dose level. Additional patients will be enrolled at the MTD until a total of 12 patients have been treated at the MTD.

Eligible patients will have received available standard treatments. Patients with solid tumors for which regorafenib would be considered a standard treatment are eligible as long as regorafenib has not been previously administered.

Blood samples will be collected for correlative studies including PK, PD, and CTCs. Tumor samples archived from a previous biopsy or surgery will also be collected for correlative studies.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of regorafenib and of sildenafil when given to patients with advanced solid tumors.

    Patients' treatment dosing level, dose modification, DLTs, and evaluability for DLTs will be listed and summarized by basic descriptive statistics (such as frequency and proportion). The MTD/RP2D will be found based on the Definitions of Dose-Limiting Toxicity, Maximum Tolerated Dose, and Recommended Phase 2 Dose. RP2D for the combination of regorafenib and sildenafil that is less than or the same as the MTD.

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To evaluate the safety and toxicity of the regorafenib and sildenafil combination

    Adverse events reported according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0. Adverse events (AEs) characterized and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (NCI CTCAE v4.0) to determine safety and toxicity of the combination of regorafenib and sildenafil.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  2. To explore the antitumor effects of the regorafenib and sildenafil combination

    Tumor response based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST version 1.1)

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  3. To determine the pre-treatment expression of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) in tumor samples

    Pre-treatment PDE5 expression identified by immunohistochemistry using archived tumor tissue. Pre-treatment PDE5 expression identified by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using archived tumor tissue.

    Measured: 12- 24 months

  4. To evaluate the impact of sildenafil on the pharmacokinetics of regorafenib

    Regorafenib plasma concentration measured at a total of 6 time points: at baseline (pre-treatment) and at 5 time points in cycle 1. Plasma concentration of regorafenib measured at 6 time points: at baseline (pre-treatment) and in cycle 1 on day 1 (post-treatment), on day 15 (pre- and post-treatment), and on day 21 (pre- and post-treatment)

    Measured: 12-24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Regorafenib and Sildenafil Citrate in people with Solid Tumor, run by Virginia Commonwealth University at 1 site in United States.

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 22 inclusion and 43 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of regorafenib and of sildenafil when given to patients with advanced solid tumors. (time frame: 28 days). 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 NCT02466802, which also lists 2 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 20 Feb 2020.
