About

Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have received all approved standard treatments (except Regorafenib and Lonsurf) no longer have treatment options available while maintaining a good performance status which would allow them to receive a new treatment

Full description

A Phase II randomized trial compared Nexiri (Nexavar® + Irinotecan) vs irinotecan or versus Sorafenib (Nexavar®). The patients treated with Irinotecan or Sorafenib alone could receive NEXIRI combination after progression (crossover to Nexiri).

Regorafenib, which is an oral signal deactivation agent with a chemical structure very similar to Sorafenib, is a standard treatment in heavily pretreated mCRC patients since the results of CORRECT study which compared Regorafenib to placebo on overall survival.

Sorafenib isn't approved in mCRC so the objective of this NEXT-REGIRI trial is compared REGIRI combination (Regorafenib-Irinotecan) to Regorafenib alone in a phase III trial in patients in progression after having received all standard treatments and bearing genotype A/A of cyclin D1. The study's hypothesis is that regorafenib could have effects similar to those of sorafenib.

Inclusion criteria

Signed informed consent obtained before any study specific procedures
Male or female ≥ 18 years of age
Histological documentation of adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum
Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
Progression during or within 3 months following the last administration of approved standard therapies, which must include a fluoropyrimidine (or raltitrexed), oxaliplatin, irinotecan, anti Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy and an anti Epithelial Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) therapy (for RAS wild-type tumors)
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1
Life expectancy of at least 3 months
Patients with A/A cycline D1 (CCND1) genotype of rs603965 CCND1
Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements conducted within 7 days of starting study treatment: Amylase and lipase ≤1.5 x Upper Limit Normal (ULN),Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN,Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN for patients with liver involvement of their cancer), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤ 5.0 x ULN for patients with liver involvement for their cancer and/or have bone metastases), Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3; Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 9 g/dL; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/ mm3. Transfusion to meet the inclusion criterion, Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN
International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 x ULN and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless receiving treatment with therapeutic anticoagulation. Patients being treated with anticoagulant, e.g., heparin, will be allowed to participate provided no prior evidence of an underlying abnormality in these parameters exists. Close monitoring of at least weekly evaluations will be performed until INR and PTT are stable based on a pre-dose measurement as defined by the local standard of care
Women of childbearing potential must have a blood or urine pregnancy test performed a maximum of 7 days before start of study treatment, and a negative result must be documented before start of study treatment
Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception before entering the study until at least respectively 7 months and 4 months after the last study drug administration of Regorafenib and respectively 6 months and 3 months after the last study drug administration of Irinotecan. The investigator or a designated associate is requested to advise the patient on how to achieve an adequate birth control. Adequate contraception is defined in the study as any medically recommended method (or combination of methods) as per standard of care.
