About this study
Official title: An Open-label, Phase II, Multi-cohort, 2-stage Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Regorafenib in Combination With Tislelizumab in Patients With Selected Mismatch Repair-Proficient/Microsatellite Stable Pretreated Solid Cancers
REFIT-MSS is a non-randomized, multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort, 2-stage, phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of regorafenib in combination with tislelizumab (referred as Rego-Tisle) in adult patients with select advance, previously treated, Mismatch Repair-Proficient/Microsatellite (pMMR/MSS) stable solid cancers.
The multi-cohort design will allow for the examination of 8 separate cohorts of different cancers to determine whether further examination may be warranted in the individual indications.
Read the detailed description
This is a non-randomized, multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort, phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rego-Tisle in adult patients with solid tumors that are advanced, pretreated and refractory to standard therapy. Approximately 322 evaluable patients (between 15 and 82 per cohort) in around 65 sites will be enrolled to power the trial efficiently to measure the primary endpoint, Progression Free Survival at 6 months (PFS-6).
Patients should have at least one measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors guidelines version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Scale (ECOG PS) 0-1, and adequate organ function.
The trial will include patients who had been diagnosed with a histologically or cytologically confirmed solid tumor belonging to any of the types in the cohorts to be enrolled. To be eligible, patient must meet the criteria for tumor type, stage and prior anti-cancer therapy according to inclusion criteria.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Regorafenib in combination with Tislelizumab in people with Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Colorectal Neoplasms, run by Translational Research in Oncology.
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 14 inclusion and 31 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2023. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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 at 6 months (PFS-6) as per Investigator Assessment (time frame: 6 Months). 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 7 Jun 2023.
