Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A prospective, multicenter, randomized in a 2:1 ratio, controlled, clinical trial with two parallel arms will be conducted to compare irinotecan dose escalated FOLFIRI according to UGT1A1 genotyping plus 120 mg regorafenib with 120 mg regorafenib alone in previously treated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary objective:

Progression-free survival

Secondary objective:

Overall survival, best objective response, disease control rate, time to progression, duration of treatment and adverse events

Number of Subjects: 153 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with regorafenib and FOLFIRI as a third- or fourth-line setting.

Plan of the Study:

1. This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized in a 2:1 ratio, controlled study.
2. Study Schedule Study date: the time getting approval letter issued by both regulatory authority and institutional review board (IRB). Duration of the study: 4 years.
3. Duration of Treatment: Treatment was administered until disease progressed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Regorafenib plus FOLFIRI

Regimen for treatment consists of irinotecan (180 mg/m2 as a 120-min IV infusion for UGT1A1 genotyping (TA6/TA6) and UGT1A1 genotyping (TA6/TA7); 120 mg/m2 as a 120-min IV infusion for UGT1A1 genotyping (TA7/TA7)), followed by Leucovorin (400 mg/m2 IV infusion over 2 hours), and fluorouracil (5-FU) (2800 mg/m2 IV infusion over a 46-hour period), repeated every 2 weeks.

After every 2 cycles of each different dose of irinotecan, if adverse events (AEs) are under the grade 2, we will escalate the dose of 30 mg/m2. The estimated maximal dose of irinotecan is 260 mg/m2 for UGT1A1 genotyping (TA6/TA6); 240 mg/m2 for UGT1A1 genotyping (TA6/TA7); 180 mg/m2 for UGT1A1 genotyping (TA7/TA7).

Regorafenib is administered at adjusted dosage of 120 mg daily for 3 weeks in a 4-week cycle.
