Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies how well lower-dose compared to standard dose regorafenib works in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body and does not respond to treatment. Regorafenib may stop the growth of colorectal cancer by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether lower-dose or standard dose regorafenib is more effective in treating patients with colorectal cancer. Clobetasol propionate is a steroid cream that is commonly used to treat a variety of skin conditions and may help prevent hand-foot skin reactions in patients receiving regorafenib.

Clinical Details

Official title: Regorafenib Dose Optimization Study (ReDOS): A Phase II Randomized Study of Lower Dose Regorafenib Compared to Standard Dose Regorafenib in Patients With Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Proportion of patients in each arm who complete 2 courses of treatment and who intend to initiate course 3 if no progression is noted on the planned disease evaluation

Secondary outcome:

OS

PFS

TTP

Cumulative (total) dose of regorafenib received by patients in the first two courses

Proportion of patients overall and within each arm experiencing grade 3 or 4 HFS or fatigue

Changes in QOL (according to the HFS14 questionnaire)

Changes in QOL (according to the LASA questionnaire)

Detailed description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the proportion of patients in each arm who complete 2 cycles of treatment and who intend to initiate cycle 3 if no progression is noted on the planned 8-week scan. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate outcome measures for efficacy in each arm including progression free survival (PFS), time to progression (TTP), time to failure (TTF) and overall survival (OS). II. Compare between arms the cumulative dose received within the first two cycles. III. Evaluate the proportion of patients in each arm that exhibit grade 3 palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (PPES) and/or fatigue, and make comparisons between regorafenib dosing strategies and pre-emptive vs. reactive strategies to address PPES. IV. Compare quality of life (QOL) between treatment arms (regorafenib dosing strategies and preemptive vs. reactive PPES strategies) as measured by the Hand and Foot Syndrome (HFS)14, Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), and Linear Analogue Self-Assessment (LASA) questionnaires. V. Compare need for topical or oral (PO) analgesia between treatment arms (regorafenib dosing strategies and pre-emptive vs. reactive PPES strategies). TERTIARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate and compare trough (Cmin) pharmacokinetics (PK) during the first 2 treatment cycles for regorafenib and active metabolites M2, M5 between the low dose (dose escalation) and the standard dose cohorts, and correlate with toxicity profile. II. Evaluate the correlation between PK parameters and tumor response/stable disease after the first two cycles. III. Evaluate the correlation between PK parameters and PFS and OS. IV. Evaluate if trough

(minimum [Cmin]) concentrations are associated with patient-specific factors (such as - but

not limited to - age and concomitant medications).

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms. ARM A1: Patients receive lower-dose regorafenib PO once daily (QD) on days 1-21 and pre-emptive clobetasol propionate given topically twice daily (BID) for 12 weeks, beginning on day 1 of regorafenib. ARM A2: Patients receive lower-dose regorafenib PO as in Arm A1 and reactive clobetasol propionate given topically BID beginning on day 1 per physician discretion upon occurrence of PPES grade >= 1. ARM B1: Patients receive standard dose regorafenib PO QD on days 1-21 and pre-emptive clobetasol propionate as in Arm A1. ARM B2: Patients receive standard dose regorafenib PO as in Arm B1 and reactive clobetasol propionate as in Arm A2. In all arms, courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2-6 months.

heparins and heparinoids; note: however, prophylactic anticoagulation as described below is allowed:

- Low dose warfarin (1 mg orally, once daily) with INR/PTT =< 1. 5 x ULN is

permitted; infrequent bleeding or elevations in INR/PTT have been reported in some subjects taking warfarin while on regorafenib therapy; therefore, subjects taking concomitant warfarin should be monitored regularly for changes in INR/PTT or clinical bleeding episodes

- Low dose aspirin (=< 100 mg daily)

- Prophylactic doses of heparin

- Use of any herbal remedy (e. g. St. John's Wort [Hypericum perforatum])

- Patients unable to ambulate or who have amputations or paralysis of any extremity
