About this study

Official title: Zinc Supplement in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients Receiving Regorafenib: Phase II Prospective Randomized Trial

Phase II randomized trial to investigate whether supplementation of zinc decreases the incidence of HFSR that occurs after treatment of tyrosine kinase inhibitor, regorafenib.

Read the detailed description

This study is aimed to investigate the effect of zinc supplementation on improving regorafenib treatment safety and efficacy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The difference in grade 2 or worse hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) incidence within the first 8 weeks of regorafenib treatment between two arms will be examined as the primary objective.

Being tested
Regorafenib, Zinc gluconate supplement

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Regorafenib treatment with Zn supplementExperimentalPatients enrolled in this arm received regorafenib with zinc supplementation to examine if zinc supplementation can decrease the incidence of grade 2 or higher HFSR.
Receives: Drug: Regorafenib; Dietary Supplement: Zinc gluconate supplement
Regorafenib treatment onlyActive comparatorPatients enrolled in this arm received regorafenib without zinc supplementation, which is the standard treatment of patients of metastatic colorectal cancer who failed previous standard therapy.
Receives: Drug: Regorafenib

What is being measured

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

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage of zinc deficiency before and after regorafenib treatment at weeks 4

    Percentages

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Percentage of zinc deficiency before and after regorafenib treatment at weeks 8

    Percentages

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Percentage of regorafenib dose reduction

    Percentages

    Measured: Through study completion, estimated 2 years

  4. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    months

    Measured: Through study completion, estimated 2 years

  5. Objective tumor response rate (ORR)

    rate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Regorafenib and Zinc gluconate supplement in people with Colorectal Cancer Metastatic, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 1 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Difference in grade 2 or worse HFSR incidence within the first 8 weeks of regorafenib treatment between mCRC patients who receive regorafenib treatment with or without zinc supplementation (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 NCT03898102, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Apr 2019.
