Study summary

The purpose of this study is to see whether a drug called regorafenib might be effective in treating angiosarcoma. This study is for patients who have angiosarcoma that has gotten worse after they received chemotherapy. Regorafenib is a type of drug called a kinase inhibitor. Regorafenib interferes with how some kinase proteins work. Some of these kinases in cancer cells might normally help the cancer cells grow or form new blood vessels that could feed a growing tumor. By blocking these proteins, regorafenib may help stop the growth of certain cancers.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To define the progression-free survival (PFS) at 4 months with daily oral regorafenib (160 mg) in previously treated locally advanced/metastatic angiosarcoma patients

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Progression-free rate at 3 and 6 months. II. Progression-free survival. III. Overall survival (up to 5 years). IV. Response rate (by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version [v] 1.1).

V. Rate and duration of tumor control (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD]).

VI. Safety/tolerability of regorafenib.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive regorafenib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for up to 5 years.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(27)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

CTCAE grade

The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.

1
Mild.
2
Moderate.
3
Severe.
4
Life-threatening.
5
Death due to the event.

“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

Child-Pugh class

A score of how well the liver works in people with liver disease such as cirrhosis: class A is mild, B moderate and C severe.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) at 4 Months

    The progression-free survival (PFS) at 4 months will be defined as the number of patients with progression absent at 4 months divided by the total number of evaluable study patients. This will be measured from start of treatment until time of progression or death, whichever occurs first and will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods and reported as a survival probability. Progression will be evaluated using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 Committee. Changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in RECIST v 1.1. Progression will be defined as: Progressive disease (PD): \> 20% increase in the sum diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. The sum diameters must also demonstrate an absolute increase of 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions also qualifies as PD.

    Time frame: At 4 months (of treatment)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) at 3 and 6 Months

    The progression-free survival (PFS) at 3 and 6 months will be defined as the number of patients with progression absent at 3 months and 6 months divided by the total number of evaluable study patients. This will be measured from start of treatment until time of progression or death, whichever occurs first and will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods and reported as a survival probability. Progression will be evaluated using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 Committee. Changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in RECIST v 1.1. Progression will be defined as: Progressive disease (PD): \> 20% increase in the sum diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. The sum diameters must also demonstrate an absolute increase of 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions also qualifies as PD.

    Time frame: Assessed at 3 months and 6 months

  2. Median Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    The median progression-free rate (PFR) will be defined as the number of patients with progression absent divided by the total number of evaluable study patients. This will be measured from start of treatment until time of progression or death, whichever occurs first for up to 5 years and will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Progression will be evaluated using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 Committee. Changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in RECIST v 1.1. Progression will be defined as: Progressive disease (PD): \> 20% increase in the sum diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. The sum diameters must also demonstrate an absolute increase of 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions also qualifies as PD.

    Time frame: The duration of time from start of treatment until time of progression, up to 5 years

  3. Overall Survival

    Overall survival will be defined as the time from start of treatment until death from any cause and will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods and reported as a survival probability. Patients that are alive at the time of data analysis will be censored at the date of known survival status.

    Time frame: From start of treatment up to 5 years

  4. Response Rate

    Imaging (such as a CT scan) will be done at baseline (within 4 weeks before the first dose) then after every 2 cycles while on treatment for tumor response evaluation. Response will be evaluated using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 Committee. Changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in RECIST v 1.1. Best response of each patient will be used and responses will be defined as the following: Complete response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions Partial response (PR): \> 30% decrease in the baseline sum diameters of target lesions

    Time frame: At baseline and after every 2 cycles, up to 12 cycles where one cycle is 28 days

  5. Rate of Tumor Control

    Imaging will be used at baseline then after every 2 cycles while on treatment to measure tumor size and response to treatment, the data collected from all patients on study will be used to calculate the rate and duration of tumor control. Response will be evaluated using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 Committee. Changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in RECIST v 1.1. Response and stable disease will be defined as the following: Complete response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions Partial response (PR): \> 30% decrease in the baseline sum diameters of target lesions Stable disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study

    Time frame: At baseline and after every 2 cycles, up to 12 cycles where one cycle is 28 days

  6. Number of Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Related Adverse Events Observed During Study Treatment (Defined by CTCAE v 4.0)

    Overall worst grade related toxicity (number of patients) was collected from the start of treatment until 30 days post the last treatment where patients were treated until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity or patient withdrawal of treatment. All Adverse events that were determined to be at least possibly related to treatment are reported. All adverse events will be graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. The severity of an AE is graded as follows: Mild (grade 1): the event causes discomfort without disruption of normal daily activities. Moderate (grade 2): the event causes discomfort that affects normal daily activities. Severe (grade 3): the event makes the patient unable to perform normal daily activities or significantly affects his/her clinical status. Life-threatening (grade 4): the patient was at risk of death at the time of the event. Fatal (grade 5): the event caused death

    Time frame: From treatment initiation though 30 days post the last treatment for a max of 12 cycles where one cycle is 28 days

Moderate (grade 2): the event causes discomfort that affects normal daily activities. Severe (grade 3): the event makes the patient unable to perform normal daily activities or significantly affects his/her clinical status. Life-threatening (grade 4): the patient was at risk of death at the time of the event. Fatal (grade 5): the event caused death

Time frame:
From treatment initiation though 30 days post the last treatment for a max of 12 cycles where one cycle is 28 days
